    Please can someone help? I really wanted prescription sunglasses but sadly all of the sites mentioned wont do up to my prescription. I seem to have such poor eyesite! My prescription is -9.00 amd none go above -6.

    Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks as always

    Hi,

    We should be able to help you at https://www.justrimless.com
    However an accurately measured PD would be imperative with your prescription and I would avoid rimless specs and stick to semi rimless with the minimum possible eyesize.

    Or have a look at our friends over at https://www.onestopglasses.co.uk, they list up to 6.00 but if you email them I am sure they will be flexible.

    Fashion Specs Direct have introduced free prescription sunglasses when you buy a pair of ordinary prescription glasses. The free pair are the same style as the ordinary pair you ordered. There's more details on their site here.

    No good for me as I just got a pair of new specs from them a while ago, but they sent me the offer (now on their site) in an email.

    What's the deal?

    To launch their summer campaign, Site4eyes are offering customers free sunglasses tints on all frames purchased during the summer months, until the end of August. Tints usually cost £15, and with glasses themselves starting at £15, this means a saving of up to 50%.

    Just a note to say that following the flurry of messages at the beginning of this month I ordered some smart varifocals from Selectspecs - bargain at £42.60 - unfortunately, even though cheque has been cashed, I still haven't received the glasses. Telephone calls are no good - automated answer to go on help site, or email, which I have done.
    Hopefully they'll arrive this week. xx

    site4eyes have currently got a promotion for half price uv400 coating (£7.50), so got proper sunglasses for £25 incl p&p. Fingers crossed will be ok -first time buying glasses online!

    it takes less than 3 minutes for them to adjust it. I paid for the eye test there, at full price. so i dont see what so cheeky about taking 3 minutes of their time.:confused:


    The fee you paid for the eye test covers all the associated costs involved in the test.

    Its unreasonable to expect any business to provide a service totally free of charge, however opticians will do this, but by no means is it a 'right' of the customer. be very careful if you go in with the attitude that you are entitled to get this done.


    If your specs were broken during adjustment would you expect them to replace them ?
