I've used Specsavers twice in the past, including my current pair of varifocals and I have not been impressed. Boots this time and an upgrade to Premium lens.

I will get a second pair, though now I have the new script I'll go to one of the online reglazers.

I got mine free from my sister, who got them for £1 in a charity shop!

Don't remind me, im overdue an eye test and need to book one. Can't say im flush with cash at the moment...

Just had to sell a bike to pay for glasses for mrs ck , when she got her prescription we did shop around a bit but tbh around £200 for varifocals and reactions is the going rate .

Once the mods find their reading specs I predict a thread title edit.

£250 for a pair of reasonable quality glasses isn't unusual, thanks to a near-monopoly over lens supply for a product that costs a fraction of what we're being charged.

[fossyant]

Thats good.

 

[Venod]

Just got some new ones from Specsavers with a second pair free with the same lenses, so elite varifocals with some sunglasses for the second pair'
I have been for a ride in the sunglasses today, it rained.

 

[GetFatty]

I tend to just reuse my good frames and get the optician to put new lenses in. I then take my prescription to Select Specs online and get 4 pairs for £6 each that I can leave lying around or carry with me
