I was fortunate enough to be referred to cilliary blue by a website selling frames. I have felt ripped off in the past by my local optician, but it was only when I retired last year that I began to research the cost of spectacles.
Firstly, I was incorrectly told that I could not have varifocal lenses in the round frames I wanted, also that a tint was added to previous lenses even though I could not detect any such tint!
I had a massive argument with the objectionable receptionist at my local optician trying to get my GOC3 which is the award given when you are in receipt of certain pensions/benefits.
I was supported througout by Chris at Cilliary Blue and finally got the award certificate. I had already got my frames from iSunglasses.co.uk and the response time to messages was exceptional througout. Bear in mind this was over the Xmas period.
I was sent a chart with the various shades of tint to choose from and within days my new glasses were received. Amazing speed, great quality.
Finally, I would like to point out that my local optician wanted £170 plus the award for the same lenses. I paid Cilliary Blue £22.00! Enough said.
Using them is a no brainer in future.
I am in no way affiliated to them, but I recommend them wholeheartedly. Their website is ciliaryblue.com

i used this company a couple of years ago and i recieved excellent service and most importantly cheap lenses! i have quite bad eye sight (-7) and it really costs to get them thinned down, but after quite a lot of research decided to go ahead with this company and have not regretted it, i'm still wearing the glasses. i got 1.74 lenses for around £120.
they even have a video on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3aLTaADZ_E

They have 4 different labs around the coutry, my practice uses one of them for the glazing, hence the PO Box, we mainly use them for emergencies but they are honest and have always shown care for us and we're in the trade! Only see good things said about them here although I shouldn't really agree with on-line stuff. There is plenty of room for both us (the high street) and the internet if it's done properly!0
