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.

    Sounds like you bought crappy cheap glasses, Phil.

    Never had any problems with mine. :confused:

    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.

    Sounds like an easy fix though, as you have all the bits!!

    tighten the screw then d*ckhead and stop whinging. Jaysus H b*ll*cks... if i bought a pair of shoe laces and they came undone I wouldn't say they were cheap and not worth it cos there were 2 in the pack.

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

    I buy all my glasses online now, got fed up of being ripped off!
