I tried that but couldn't see what was printed as I didn't have my glasses on. :sunglasses:

Great price. But since the fitting is almost as important as the prescription for the lenses (particularly with bifocals or varifocals) it's difficult to see how ordering online can give anything like the same standard as buying somewhere that takes precise measurements and fits them to the individual.
Does it work in practice, though? I could be wrong on this. :neutral_face:

Look at the end of the arms of your current glasses, the part tucked behind your ear. The measurements are printed there if they havnt rubbed off yet!

You're absolutely not wrong on this. Positioning of the eyes and nose causes the pupils to present at different distances from your pupil to the bridge of your nose on each side. While it's tempting to get a cheap pair or specs (or pair of pair of specs) I personally wouldn't risk it. The headaches aren't worth it :smiley:

Heat.
I did this last time, and it all went fine, though I do have a pretty basic prescription.
I got one pair tinted (£10 extra) so I had a pair of sunglasses for driving.

You should wait for the MSE voucher code that includes the free tints and delivery, get 2 pairs of sunglasses and save yourself £20, that what I usually do.

Super hot
As mentioned, done this before but my prescription has changes slightly so two pairs for less than 20 quid delivered?
It would be rude not to

I'm sorry if I'm being incredibly dense here, I probably am :smiley: , but with them being an online operation and hence not having the traditional in person fitting, how do they get to determine what prescription of lenses you require in the glasses?
Do you have to enter the details of your own prescription online? or do they have some means of measuring your vision online?, though I can't see how that would possibly work with the variety of screens and set ups people have.
Would be very interested in taking this offer up as my glasses are very old and somewhat scratched but I don't know where I put my original glasses prescription, not even sure if I got one included with my last two pairs actually....

I go to Tesco for a free eye test - worth going if you've not been for years as they can spot any other health issues that way.
I got my prescription printed out and have bought my glasses online like this for the past 5 years.
Enter your prescription details, measure your pupillary distance (tape measure or ruler in front of a mirror) - job done.

Will vouch for this company. Excellent customer service and sales process. Exchanged for a new pair of glasses because I didn't like the frames I had chosen.
Will buy again in future.
