Guest Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Been to Specsavers ( I am changing spectacles every 2 years, deal with 2 for one glasses) and this year they gave me quote for £ 865..in 2020 was £370. What are good alternatives? Is Boots any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get my eyes tested at Boots for £25 and then i buy my glasses online The last place i bought my glasses was at https://www.glassesdirect.co.uk/ They offer some incredible bargains 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foot and Mouth Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I've tried online glasses sales; there's a few of them that do sell quality products at reasonable prices. I get it, no shops, no rents, less staff, wages, etc. But when it comes to entering my exact prescription details (the last one I had done at Asda) it's a bit of a minefield to me, I never know if I've put it in right. Then a while back a pair of specs came that just were not fit for purpose. So something went wrong either at my end or theirs. They refunded without quibble quickly too, so maybe they're used to it. I'd like to get glasses online, if there was a way of getting a verified prescription to them accurately.

Stick with Specsavers, just don't buy the overpriced designer frames as that is what you seem to be doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylefree Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 used to be quite impressed and pleased with Asda, been with them for about 10 years, quality specs and fairly priced. but had problems with new specs this year. i think they may have changed suppliers. so dont think i will go there again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Got two pairs from Specsavers for £99 last month - same as I paid 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
