Designer Prescription Glasses

marbar2k

I am after some mens designer perscription glasses, what is the best site to use with a big range of specs? I am part of Healthshield through work so i have £110 to spend. I need my eys testing, where is the cheapest place? Asda is £10 thats the best i have found so far.

i think boots were/are doing a free eye test offer? saw that on here somewhere but that may have been for a very limited time.
to get 'cheap' glasses you can go online to lots of places (i can't remember where all the threads on this may be - perhaps in health moneysaving, or shop but don't drop).

you may find that most of your £110 goes on thin lenses in a highstreet shop... they're not cheap. i also wouldn't focus on getting designer glasses - the boots own brand ones are usually pretty good and i'm not sure you get value for the extra money you need to spend.

Here's the link to Martin's article on the main site.

And here's the link to the Great Cheap Glasses Hunt thread, which lists loads of online providers: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=980721#post980721

Some online providers won't offer 1.67 lenses online, but if you ring them up, they'll do them for you, and usually for very little extra.
