  • There are many threads on this. Just do a search on 'glasses'.

    Most people seem to have had good experiences.

    I get the pd from my optician and use this with the online opticians.

    I prefer and have had very good experiences with www.spex4less.com and www.justrimless.com

    You can phone or email them for advice and they are very helpful.
  • glassesdirect.co.uk are good

  • My daughter gets her eye test done at Specsavers, then uses Glasses Direct. Costs her £25 a time, and she's delighted with them (Shes

    I can also vouch for glassesdirect, they have always been very good in my experience.

    This is the secret message.
  • Quick post to say thanks - I need some new glasses and have been gearing up to go to the opticians but I'm going to look on glasses direct due to the recommendations here.

    They are also 20% on Quidco and there is a 10% discount code on the Quidco page too :)

    Just had my eyes tested at Tesco yesterday, I had planned to get the prescription then get the specs online. Ended up just getting the specs there - only £20 all in!
  • I have tried two or three of the big online boys. They have been okay-ish. But, out of them all, I have found and have to continue to recommend the site Fashion Specs Direct.

    As well as price (which I think should not be the only factor to consider), they have consistenly demonstrated to me their first class customer service. Try calling them for a query and you always get a friendly and helpful response.

    They're my favourite and I never hesitate to recommend them - primarily from the service they provide - as I often do on this forum whenever there's a debate!
