Re: Specsavers
Being diabetic I get mine free anyway but always good to hear where they are doing them cheap.Our optician is independent and when I was there this morning had many half price frames and deals. I was shocked to find I now need glasses full time, had until now managed with readers. My bill for some nice frames and a non glare (for night driving) coating on my new lenses was £100 which I didn't think was too bad.

I bought my current reading specs and computer specs from Tesco's a few years ago at half price .... very cheap too

Blimey Alan, I'd want gold frames for that!

My last pair of 1963 Ford Anglia Specsaver glasses cost me £45 and they are more than adequate for me!

They are titanium frames (I hate those thick plastic frames), they are varifocus and are tinted and they have a special sort of glass that gives the magnification without looking like jam-jar bottoms. Next time I need new lenses I'll keep the same frames so it balances out over the years. Finally I've worked hard all my life and can afford it, that makes all the difference.

Yes I would Alan!
What are they then - £250+ "Designer" Glasses or are you into Cartier?
Sorry mate but it's sounds like snobbery plus vanity to me. stevmk2
