    Try https://www.goggles4u.com had a few pairs from them one broken in transit they replaced them no problem.Really good quality and cheap from around £7.50 prescription delivered, free tinting if you want it too!.

    I got mine from there as well and they were ace.

    For £12.99 I got the glasses in a hard case with cleaning cloths and some spare screws and nose pad. Delivery was pretty fast as well.

    Received my two pairs of glasses from https://www.fasionspecsdirect.co.uk yesterday, one pair glasses the other sunglasses, two pairs for £19.95, really,really pleased. The last pair of presc sunglasses I bought cost £150, they were transitions, but at £19.95 for two, might get some more !!!

    Well worth a look, and received them within a few days.

  • Hi - I went to D&A had free eye test with voucher and had excellent care and service at the branch in bournemouth. I have a disability where mobility is a bit of a problem and they treated me very well. They were very friendly. I also used the 25% off voucher off first pair of glasses, which helped a great deal and they have an offer on buy a pair of prescription sunglasses for £29, if you get them at the same time. I have my glasses now and am very pleased with them.

    Have your specs turned up yet?

  • I am also looking to buy some new prescription glasses, I've found the perfect pair on 'lens-wear' and they are hard to find anywhere else (Have tried all of the suggested sites from the Martin Lewis site) -has anyone got experience of the site mentioned above? Is it legitimate? Any comments are welcome because I have always relied on my expensive opticians!
