Opticians discounts

Boots Opticians do a pensioners' discount.

midgey I don't shop on-line unless there are no alternatives, is there is in this case.

I know plenty of people who have chosen this route and regretted it- buy cheap buy twice!

I have got in at my local opticians this afternnon whereas other larger chains can't see me until next week.

I may take the option if my prescription has changed, to get frames elsewhere as suggested.

Specsavers do discounts as Aldom said, but does anyone know of any others?

If you take the prescription there are several companies on line that will send you spectacles with the correct prescription. Frequently much cheaper but the fit is not guaranteed!

I’ve used Asda for some years, my last visit was two pairs of varifocal, photo-chromatic for £212, that was two years ago. I have a complex prescription with an astigmatism.

Specsavers give a 20% discount for people over the age of 60, spending £70 or above.

I’ve just been to Specsavers and I got my cheapest pair free. I suppose they have the buying power to offer the discounts.
I once asked about having new lenses put into old frames, but that was really costly.

most local ones over-charge, i think.
look around, specsavers, vision express, and the ones you find inside large supermarkets.
specsavers do frame with single vision from £70. some cheaper than that.
i haven't heard of any discounts specially for seniors.
do some window shopping and online.
good luck.
