Glasses direct 5quid for review

Not only do Glassesdirect (https://www.glassesdirect.co.uk) offer cheap prescription glasses that can be bought online (from 15 quid), but you can also save yourself 5 quid by writing them a good review.

https://www.glassesdirect.co.uk/release_000/reward.php

I think someone else has quoted almost all this email address, but left off the reward.php part... happy shopping!

So far I have only rented a pair of frames, so I can see how they look (which only costs 2.50 including P&P). Their system does seems very professional (so far) and with an additional 5 quid off it will save a fortune compared to the 150quid+ I was quoted at the opticians....

Will review further when I've gone through the complete process.

  • i would be interested to hear what the quality of the lenses and frames are like from an impartial source.

    I have to say though, 150 for a set of glasses is alot. Thats what i used to pay in doland atchesons?!? But now i just automatically go into specsavers whenever they have the 2 for 1 offer on (most times).

    Thinner lenses are a bit of a con though.

    Must admit saw this also but thought I would hang on until Specsavers are doing their 2-1 offer which, of course , they are not doing at the moment.

  • I have used an American Company like this for the last couple of years and the quality has always been superb.

    I will be trying this company out, that is for sure. You have a money back guarantee so you really have nothing to lose. If you don't like them, send them back!

    I was nervous about ordering glasses on line the first time but with a money back cushion it should be fine.

    The problem is that we are so used to paying a lot of money for glasses!
