Cheap Prescription Sunglasses for Teen

Motherof3Dragons

I'd like to buy some prescription sunglasses for my 15 year old. She has normal glasses fitted by Vision Express and partially paid for by the NHS voucher and could do with some prescription sunglasses. It seems that in the UK it is illegal to buy online prescription sunglasses for a under 16 so I'm stuck with a physical shop. Can anyone suggest a place that will sell them at a good price? Thanks

Can you not get them from the opticians

Asda, Boots or Specsavers often have good deals. Once she's 16 then I recommend glassesdirect. I got a great deal from them.

It's illegal to dispense an under 16 prescription glasses, you'll need to go to a physical opticians and have a registered optometrist or dispensing optician dispense the glasses up.

The words cheap, prescription and sunglasses should NEVER appear in the same sentence, regardless of age.

You only get one pair of eyes.

Does she have a spare pair of prescription glasses or one with a recent, similar prescription?

Get one tinted. Specsavers do them.
