where to buy prescription glasses online?

[AnotheBloodyChinHair]

got new prescription and don't want to pay Specsavers prices.

I've found glasses direct really good. Quick delivery, good range of styles and cheaper than Specsavers.

Oh and they generally have discount codes so sometimes you can get two pairs for a really good price.

Thank you Here. I am wondering about their 'designer' frames, as I have not heard of the names they feature.

Have used Glasses Direct a lot in the past. Fantastic customer service. You can select 4 frames at a time for a free home trial, to make sure they suit you.

Have also had brilliant service from them when I returned a pair of glasses.

Even their cheap frames last (had a £25 one for years). Would definitely recommend.

I've had three pairs from Spex4less.com and have used them for glasses for two of the kids as well. Very happy with the quality and service.

I can highly recommend www.selectspecs.com/glasses/prescription/.

They do prescription glasses for 6 pounds.

Does anyone know how to measure your pupillary distance to buy online. I’m stumped by it.

Get someone to put dots on your glasses over your pupils. measure the distance. Should be around 60mm

Make sure you don't use permanent marker or anything difficult to remove?

2 pairs for £14 . Long and short distance. Love them xx

Brilliant - this is gold. I used an app and got several diff readings so was useless really

I found Direct Sight to be excellent.
To be honest I had no great expectations but they’ve made me think that I may have wasted a lot of money previously, I ordered a second pair within weeks and they were just as good.
I only have single prescription lenses - does anyone have any experience of buying varifocals online

Thank you. Do I just look straight ahead while they do it - and they aim for the centre of the pupil?

Yup

Can I ask if anyone has bought varifocals online and how successful it was?

I wanted a particular pair of prescription Ray bans and got them for a really good price on www.feelgoodcontacts.com/. I think they had a discount on your first order too. Happy shopping!

Another vote for Glasses Direct

Thank you for your help everyone. I have ordered 4 frames for home trial from Glasses Direct.

What about if I want my new prescription to be put on my current glasses? What's the most economical way of doing that?

I paid £27 to reglaze glasses direct for mine
Brilliant service

they offer discounts regularly

Thank you cardoon. Unfortunately Glasses Direct are not currently offering that service

I think Reglaze Glasses is a different company

great thread

You are right cardoon, these people will reglaze for just £25 with the code you have provided! That's brilliant, thank you! www.reglaze-glasses-direct.com/
