We get our eyes tested at the opticians and then buy our spectacles online.
You type in the details of the prescription, there is an option to send a picture of it if it’s difficult to read and if they think it’s wrong or a bit strange, they always contact you to double check.
The first pair we tried cost about £15 and we sent for them just to see what they were like, after all the important part is the actual lens, there is plenty of choice though for the frames.
They were excellent and meant that DH could have a pair at the office, a pair in the car and still have a pair on so that he can lose them around the house....
They take around 3 days to arrive and we certainly wouldnt go back to paying hundreds of pounds for glasses. The prices range from around £12 up to £50.
