Asda Opticians

My OH has just broken her spectacles and I've suggested she try Asda as I know they do good deals. Thing is, both of us have our lenses reduced in thickness otherwise they'd be bottles.

Do Asda offer that as an option - whether payable or not? Can't see anything on their website.

I am sitting in my 1.9 high index glasses courtesy of Asda. They will offer you high index if your prescription requires it. FYI I got 1.9 based on my -14.5 prescription

Yes they do as I recently (December) bought two new pairs of specs. I was quoted a price of £70 per pair.

I personally turned it down but my frames are quick thick anyway (from their designer selection) so it did minimise the bottle effect.

Hope that helps

Yes they do, the complete list is on their website.

George glasses cost £50 per pair or 2 for £90.

For varifocals it's £110 per pair, £130 if you buy 1 pair of varis and one pair single vision and £170 if you buy 2 pairs of varis.

Sunglasses tint is £10 extra, transitions costs £30 extra and UV coating is £10 extra (or free for kids).
