Lost children's glasses

genieuk

Our specsavers were very good, my younger two wear glasses and have very strong prescriptions like myself. They even arranged for them both to have two pairs, DS did when he was a toddler. Never had a problem with getting his repaired - always the first thing to get broken in a paddy.

The only thing I have ever paid for is prescription sunglasses 35pounds each which i thought was quite reasonable, and we now have prescription swimming goggles @24pounds each the kids love them. Not like 30yrs ago when all you had was pink, blue or brown I hated NHS glasses

Thank for all the replies.

I went back to specsavers and got a replacement pair of glasses, exactly the same as what my daughter had lost, completely free.

We think the other pair got thrown away with some school work!

My sons has wore glasses since he was 3 ( he's now 6). We have been through 20 - 30 pairs at a guess. He has mild cerebral palsy that means he can be quite clumsy so we've had scratches on the lense and 'arms' snapping.
We've been told the 2 pairs "rule" and I got quite assertive and told the salesperson about the cerebral palsy and they got quite embarassed and they were replaced sharpish!
I checked with the hospital opticians and they said there was no limit but the profit margin for the suppliers is reduced!?
I make my husband deal with optical express now as I get worked up expecting problems.
