Just seen this deal on Facebook. If you like LensWay's Facebook page here:

http://www.facebook.com/LenswayUK?sk=app_4949752878

You will be given a code to get a 'free' pair of glasses on 8th June but you do need to pay postage and handling fees which I think was about £10. Also worth noting that not all glasses are part of this offer- it should say whether coupons are applicable or not on their website here:

HTH

EDIT- As not everyone has Facebook I have posted the code in the codes forum here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/44228946#Comment_44228946

    ..'postage and handling fees which I think was about £10'

    Prescription from £15 in : Tesco
    And you can walk in.

    Was £10 for me but gone up.

    I dont think they're 'necessary' for reading,
    unless you miss your head, or poke yourself in the eye ,whilst trying out 'off the shelf ' cheapies in Aldi or Lidl ;).

    Thought I was going mad on this one for a moment. Makes sense its Wednesday and looking at it it's valid after 5pm! Will have to try to remember

    Thank you!
    Just ordered a pair for £9.50. Never bought glasses on the internet before so hopefully I put all the prescription details in correctly as I'd like to have a spare pair.

    Just ordered a nice pair (couldn't find many that were tbh!) for a total of £9.50, I was going to order a very similar part at speckfoureyes.co.uk for £39.99 so got a real bargain.

    Many thanks for posting.

    I've just checked on quidco and the transaction has tracked at £59.99 with £11.50 expected cashback, which would mean they have paid me £2 for the pair of glasses!
