The total price was £260. They are okay and do the job they are intended to do, well. I wanted another pair to keep as a spare, as one of them is kept in work. Specsavers informed me that I would have to pay another £189 for one pair. I looked online and picked a company named Goggles 4U. They were advertising two pairs (buy on get one free) for £66:00. I took a chance and sent them my prescription. Last week, I made enquiries as to when I could expect them, and was told, 'they've been shipped'. It turns out that they are made in Cerritos California. They arrived today and I am very impressed with them. Just as good as the Specsaver ones, The frames are cheaper but I don't mind that. I'm always breaking/twisting frames anyway. I bought two pairs of varifocals from Specsavers but the reading part was so small it wasn't easy to use. To avoid me sending them back they made me a free pair of reading glasses. Not ideal but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 No problem. They may take a few weeks, as they come from the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
