Well the last time me and ste got glasses we paid £200. I have a strong prescription and have to have my lenses thinned which obviously costs more.. and that £200 was minus the cost of lenses because of our tax credit exemption deely. I work with someone who has contacts and pays £10 a month...so don't think it would work out much more expensive..i don't wear specs .....even though i did and probably should i have saved a £10 eye test voucher and need to book one asap.
whats the cost of contacts/glasses different types of contacts etc??
my dad wears both (obviously not at same time) glasses for slobbing it contacts for running driving etcTotal 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

I agree, without
I do like your glasses though 
Dont forget, you would still need to have glasses, for those tired, sore eyes days :rolleyes:
You've actually just reminded me, I have some contact lenses left from when I wore them. I might have to have a try again.Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

would you need to have your eyes checked and get a prescription?
i have not got a clue how it works at all so excuse the stoopid questions.
£10 a month to look extra stunning..........................priceless, if it makes you feel better do it!!0 -
