Specsavers sell used frames

SailorSam

If that's standard i don't think it's right. I always presumed the frames on the shelf were just for show.
If i go into Currys for a Tv or computer and the only one left is the 'shopsoiled' display model i expect them to knock 10% off.

Last time I ordered online (Glasses Direct) it cost under £200 for two pairs of specs with designer frames and high index fairly strong lenses, one set clear and the other sunglasses tint. I got a quote from a well-known high street shop and the price was £319 for one pair. That was untinted too! High street tint £29. Online - free.

My deal of £95 for a designer pair with titanium frame and extra light, extra tough lenses sounds like a good one then!

That's always been the case for me. In fact when you try them on and decide that's the pair you want they put them in a bag with the prescription. They adjust them appropriately and always clean them when you collect them in my experience.

I wish they'd cleaned min before I collected them, they were filthy.

Completely off topic Torry, but have you seen any of the Outlander episodes yet?

Depends entirely on the frame, lens quality and prescription strength. If you got them for £95 on the HS you'd likely be able to get two for £80 online.

Whats the HS? NHS maybe? I certainly don't get any NHS discounts.

LOL.. Oh yeah!!!

I'm not too fussed if I could have got them cheaper online. I much preferred being able to try them all on and I tried on about 50 pairs!! Its not just about the look, its the feel and comfort as well. My last pair, which I'm still wearing have lasted me 20 years and I've never needed two pairs. So this next pair, which are far superior quality to the old ones, should see me well.

Not yet, patiently waiting for a channel to show them.

I hope that you've had your eyes tested since then though.

Of course! Had a sight test and contact lens test when I moved to Boots from Specsavers this year
