Hi punksluck, I have had transitions, thinned down (1.65 index I think) with all the coatings that cost me less than £100, I had a pair recently, bought a frame, Bench for £15 from eyewear-warehouse on ebay and they then gave me a discount code to use to get 10% off the lenses with ciliaryblue. I've used them many times before and a big fan of reglazing, so got a pair of glasses for just over £100 that would have cost at least £250 on the high street, bargain!

Thanks for the heads up. I ended up going to Eyewear Glasses in the end as they sold me a pair of varilux transitions reactor into a sunglasses frame for a third of what my optician charged me last time and the best thing was that because I live quite close to where they are based they came round to fit them properly for me, although I did have to wait about 3 days for them to arrive . It was like having servants coming round and making a fuss of me - now I know how the other half live!:j

The reason why I went with these guys was because I was informed by someone on a consumer forum who had bought from Ciliaryblue before that the lenses he got given weren't the genuine transitions but a cheaper alternative which don't react as quickly - although their prices are quite cheap.

Would like to thank all in this post for the information - having learnt about Cilaryblue here, I used them to re-glaze my sunglasses with a revised prescription. They gave me a special price for coated/polar lenses, sent the packing box, reglazed & returned all for £30 - and in just 4 days.

The communication was simply perfect also!

thanks again!

I have used a company called discounteyes for the past 4-5 years and they usually have lots of offer and even offer a reglaze service even though they dont mention it.

i have been pretty happy with them.
They have lots of reviews on alexa also,i think this helps when choosing.

I went to the same place as Punksluck and got a good price and decent service for my varifocal sunglasses. Can you believe that my local opticians wanted to charge me nearly double what I paid online!!? I think it's a disgrace that the high street opticians are still charging the earth even in these difficult financial times.

Would thoroughly recommend https://www.eyewearglasses.co.uk as they were very helpful and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. I don't think I'll ever go back to my opticians after having such a good experience online!

Another place that seems to have a good reputation on these forums is 'cilary blue' - or something like that, I can't remember their name as I haven't used them before.

I used IWHS10 last time as I bought the frames from an ebay company that gave me the code, not sure if it still works though, it was a while ago! You'll be happy with ciliaryblue either way, me and my family used them many times now.

Had to stop by and recommend Cillaryblue. They offered fantastic customer service and re-glazed AND dispatched my glasses on the same day they received them, now that is fantastic service.
