  • Shame on me, few days ago I was trying to buy new frames, but all the frames which opticians showed me were awful.

    I recently used a company to get my frames reglazed cost £40 and was done within a week. Excellent service and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to avoid being ripped off by opticians trying to charge for new frames search for ciliary blue and you will find them - excellent.

    This firm seems to be in Administration. Hmmm....?

    Opticians, a Health Care Professionals, not working for the benefit of people but running for-profit-only businesses! Is this what we really want in the 21st century - our civilisation to take a big step Backwards! Are you actually looking forward to being mercilessly exploited by the people who are trained to care, and should be dedicated to caring?
    Kind regards,

  • Why didn't you shop around? You aren't forced to buy them from one place?
  • Should've shopped around I'm afraid. Perhaps it depends on the company, but I used to work in admin for a well known high street optician and whenever a customer mentioned on the phone that they wanted existing frames reglazed we were always to advise them that a whole new pair of specs would be cheaper. It always pays to look at all the frames instore before choosing too, as they usually start from £25 in the cheapest range and some, particularly men's, are virtually identical to the pricier ones, just without the label/brand name.
