New Spectacles (glasses) For £15!

Yes! Really! Brand New, to your prescription, glasses for only £15 (plus £2.50 p&p). I ordered them online from a company in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, and they arrived in UNDER A WEEK. OK so I live in Swindon, 12 miles away from where the company is, but still a mail order company.

Glasses (with lenses) from £15. Designer Frames at only £55

AMAZING! They are FANTASTIC.

    I had this site in my favorites list and need lots of glasses for my poor eyes. This site is brilliant, it even has software on it where you can insert a picture of yourself and try the various frames on yourself. BRILLIANT, Its a hoot and great value, they also look like very serious opticians. I really recommend this.

    go back to the glasses direct site, select a frame you are interested in and click on "more details". This will select the frame and give you the option to use their software to try the frame on. The instructions are very straightforward, it will guide you. I found a jpg image of myself on my computer and downloaded it, as per instructions, and I was able to try the frame onto the picture of me. Follow their instructions, and if you have a jpg or a bitmap image of yourself on your hard drive, it should work. Have a go

    Yes all you need is your prescription, which all Opticians should give you in writing when you have had your eye test. Fill out the glassdirect.co.uk online form and hey presto!!!! Easy peasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How do you get the glasses fitted?

    Just curious as when I've bought optician ones, they've always had to tweak the arms a bit to make them fit.
    Here I go again on my own....

    You can order up a pair of glasses ( only clear lenses) for £4 ;)

    you send them back within two weeks, no extra charge, they even give you a postage paid envellope for returning them. :o

    Just choose from their book, you can send for this. :rolleyes:
