Prescription and non-prescription Branded Sunglasses

For all those interested......

After extensive research I think the cheapest way to buy branded sunglasses is
1. Go to the nearest Sunglass shops and find the frame you want
2. The cheapest site online I found is 'grandprixlegends' which offers a pricematch guarantee. However for prescription lenses- the cheapest is london-eyewear.co.uk'. I am getting my Oakleys from them this week!! Excited!!
Hope this helps. Unfortunately I am not allowed to post the full link but a google search should get you through.:beer:

    Trouble is, at most of the high street opticians, they only do sunglass lenses in standard glasses frames so you can't get anything that looks remotely like a 'fashion' pair of sunglasses - branded or otherwise. In particular, it is difficult to get the larger framed styles which are, actually, better for protecting your eyes in bright sunlight.

    However, I did find one place that does them. Tesco opticians have a small range of branded sunglasses that they will put a prescription lens in for you. I think it was about £50 on top of the price of the sunglasses last year but I also got a free pair of glasses in a two for one offer they had on at the time so thought it was pretty good value.

    Not perfect but better than nothing!
