Where can we get cheap/free glasses?

Hi guys

I'm relatively new to this site and wonder if you may be able to help?

My husband and I have recently started a DMP with Payplan. Payplan make us put aside a set amount every month to cover the cost of my husbands glasses, however as we have only just started the DMP there is not that much money in the kitty for specs! My husband desparately needs new glasses (obviously not a designer pair!) and we have about £20 to spend :eek: !!
Would really appreciate it is someone could point us in the right direction, or offer any assistance with this,

Many many thanks

Rach

    Hi,

    There are plenty of pairs of prescription glasses below £20.00 at glassesdirect, and with the above codes you should be able to get a further 20% off.

    All the best.

  • Thanks so much, I'll try those.

    I got some recently from Glasses Complete online, they start about £12-15 I think (I spent £25 including postage and scratchproof coating and am really pleased with them).

    Depending on your prescription, you can also get cheap glasses in Tescos and Wilkinsons. If you're anywhere near Bletchley in Buckinghamshire, I found glasses in the Poundland (DINA Discounts) shop there for 99p !
