2 for 1s- load of rubbish.

It just shows you that this 2 for 1 on for specs is just resulting in you ending up with rubbish specs.
I have not had this set of glasses for even a year and today the screw and the lens falls out.
It will have to be my second pair of blue unisex ones from now on.
No wonder they run 2 for 1 as when they sell is rubbish.

ey up here we go again...
I have never had any problems with my 2 for ones, in fact I have two sets of frames in the drawer which were 2 for one from specsavers in the 90's..
But then decided to update....and had my eyes tested when I was in Egypt (£5) and had a pair of designed specs made up....cost frames £20, varifocal lenses with reactolite lenses £80....total cost £105.....
Last pair made up here was £189 just for varifocal reactolite lenses.....
It goes to show how we are being ripped off here. Have been wearing my Egypt specs 2 years now...better have another holiday there and get some new specs....And I have done reading & geography.. too !

They are about 50 quid a pair ones.
I do take them on and off a lot though. But that should not make the lens fall out.:beer:0 -

Sounds like an easy fix though, as you have all the bits!!:A MSE's turbo-charged CurlyWurlyGirly:AThinks Naughty Things Too Much Clique Member No 3, 4 & 5

Pop the screw back in and screw them up, or take them along to an opticians and theyll do it for you.
