Looking for High Street reading glasses

After a couple of serious mistakes with style on internet purchases, I want to be able to try my new ones on!

Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced place with a decent range of styles?

Thanks,
Mel.

    Poundland has a revolving stand that gets emptied quickly and therefore changes by the week. They stock 1.0 to 3.5 dioptres, many styles and of course a pound, so you can try them out cheaply and it doesn't matter so much if you break them. ;)

    If it's prescription glasses you need then Specsavers do a decent low price range at £35 frames & lenses. Most of the styles are quite fashionable.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
  • ASDA's opticians are reasonably priced and have some decent styles available.

    Primark does v cheap reading glasses. 2 pairs for £2 without cases (wire frames), or single pairs for £2 in cases - range of styles.
