tried glasses direct for first time as I felt the high street prices were too expensive for my pension pocket.
Received specs, exactly what I wanted ,but there was a increase in prescription for one eye and specs felt a little out of focus,I also told them that I would use for driving.
2 month later, due op, will not drive much and specs wrong for reading [my fault]
contacted specs direct Email with problem...so helpfull..sent details with prepaid label
sent off specs,was kept informed by email [ I expected cost as my fault]
Recieved specs today ,suitable for reading , not driving WITH NO EXTRA CHARGE...that type of service deserves praise.
will not go anywhere else in future..great prices,service...

Looks a bit confused, this.
So are you saying glasses direct are good, or specs direct are good ? (bold is added by me to try and clarify)0 -
I would say he means he contacted glasses direct, directly through their email. I too have nothing but praise for glasses direct as they were doing a really good offer which would have saved me a load of money but they didn't have the glasses I wanted anymore and the deal ended the next day. So phoned them up and they said they would honour the deal on any pair of glasses I picked and sure enough they did even though the offer had ended. Save around £120.0

it's worth clarifying though as specs direct are another competing company.0

sorry for time taken to answer,having a bad time on meds after another op.
glasses direct was the company I was praising , although have used specs direct in past with no problem.
was just very happy that although my fault in time delay to contact them , the help at no charge I received made my day after being stuck in house on meds after spine op. and waiting for another.0 -
Just received my two pairs of prescription reading glasses from Glasses Direct after reading the great deal on this site.
Ended up paying £25 for two pairs due to 2 for 1 offer plus £25 off. Even the quality of the frames is so much better than the cheaper ones I usually get from High St places where I have paid a lot more for such prescription glasses.
I will certainly use them again.0
