Don't go to high st opticians for this! I do this & have had about 8 or 9 done over the years with excellent results.
I look at other people's specs, find some I like & ask where they got them & often you can find them on eBay.
Once I loved some Whistles glasses & got them on eBay & got them reglazed. I love them & bought another pair from eBay in case these broke. I never use any particular reglazing service but whoever I fancy on the internet, I've never been disappointed. I must have saved thousands.
High st opticians don't offer this service as there's more profit in selling the whole thing.
Spec savers wouldn’t re-glaze an independent pair I bought (they may reglaze ones that you have bought previously from them. Also, they wouldn’t tighten up a screw on my glasses because I hadn’t bought them from them.
I said I would just risk them breaking them, (as that was the excuse they gave me) but no they wouldn’t do it, which I thought was mean as I had just spent £200 on new glasses with them.
I take mine to an independent opticians to be reglazed now.
