laumk7 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I had my eye test and ordered some new glasses from the opticians (£489! But they were gucci), and as my prescription has changed slightly I want some new sunnies as well. I've ordered some raybans from glasses direct and I'm not sure if it's too good to be true - £152 Inc frames and tints! Has anyone ordered online and can they share any tips or experiences?

Dan P Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 £489???? You should have gone to Specsavers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I wouldn't touch specsavers, I used to use them years ago but they A scarred my eyes using a wrong type contact lens and B were forever putting my prescription up. As soon as I changed back to D&A they put my prescription down again:o I use either boots (bought out D&A a few years ago now) or vision express, the above was vision express :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laumk7 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 £489 on a pair of glasses, you need your head looking at not your eyes lol Why? How much do you think designer prescription glasses cost? And Is there really any need to be insulting? I had a frame less set of police branded glasses a few years back cost about the same, current set own branded as couldn't find a thing I liked were nearly £300 It's not like my eye glasses are a luxury I could live without for goodness sake?!

Oh for goodness sake it was a bit of humour, obviously you have had a sense of humour bypass. I wear glasses myself and don't buy the cheapest but if you want to pay ridiculous money for some designer glasses just to be trendy then that is your choice. I've just paid £125 for a "designer" pair of glasses along with a 50% off voucher from the last pair I bought, I just don't see the point in paying nearly £500 for a pair of glasses just because they have a name on them. As long as you are happy with them that is all that matters, take things with a pinch of salt in future. In fact I was having a discussion with someone the other day about glasses. How much the lenses and the frames actually cost is nothing compared to the price they sell them for, so you are paying for a name the same as anything that is branded with a name. Anyway take it as it was meant as a bit of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway take it as it was meant as a bit of fun. Oh always the same excuse... it was meant in jest..it was meant in fun etc. horse droppings is what I say to that! My lenses alone cost more than your so called designer pair. So I really doubt what you're saying there, unless like my op they weren't bought from a high street opticians , either that or well there's that horse again. ...

laumk7 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Well went back to the opticians today and changed my lenses from varifocals to ordinary distance specs and had nearly 150 to spend on a second pair of 'spares' :mrgreen: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkin Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 No way should designer glasses cost more than £250. Brother ordered pairs online and alls been good. Just get your prescription from opticians and order away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Picked up my new glasses today and I'm dead impressed, speed of service was unbelievable considering I only ordered one pair yesterday. Gucci and Radley specs, still waiting for the Ray-bans :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I used Glasses direct previously, however, my lenses are too strong a prescription to be processed online anymore :( it was so much cheaper than the high street, and the specs where excellent quality to say the least! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
