Rip off high street opticians
They seemed to be very good value for money so I took the plunge and ordered them. Three days later they arrived and I was one very happy rabbit- they were great and I had saved myself £74!

I'm fed up with the attempts of some high street opticians to overcharge me. They want to charge me £99 for the same pair of glasses that I can buy online for £25. Is the extra profit used to pay for the plush shops and advertising?

| 14-5-2008 | I recently used http://www.thinlenses.co.uk and I am extremely impressed with their service. Their prices are amazing and I was able to purchase two pairs for a lot less than what I would have normally paid for a single pair from the High Street Retailers.
It was my first time buying glasses onl...more | Surjit Singh (West Midlands) |

| 22-4-2008 | Hello, I have been buying my glasses online for a few years now. Tried a few sites, but the one that really stands out from the crowd is www.thinlenses.co.uk.

| 27-2-2008 | I get my glasses from the internet site, SelectSpecs. Very pleased with them. Previously to this I had a bad experience buying from Glasses Crafter.
Don't try this internet glasses provider. They make offers they do not keep. They are slow to answer emails. There is no proper customer supp...more | Diana |
| 30-1-2008 | Lol! All the comments have fair points and are quite amusing. However at the ripe old age of 50 I found that I needed glasses for close up work and went to Specsavers. I ordered varifocal lens and I'm sure the pair that I collected 2 weeks later were not the ones that I chose.

| 24-11-2007 | I always go to my local independent optician. He is a reall gentleman and remembers me by name whether I was there a year ago or yesterday. Its one of the few shops I can get a personal service and I would never trust my luck to buying glasses online. As someone said, the optician can diagnose disea...more | Marie |
| 16-11-2007 | I have been attending the same optician for many years, and I am very happy with her. I know the spectacles/contact lenses I buy from them subsidise the excellent sight test I have every two years and any additional appointments I need. It doesn't take a genius to work that out. That is the unfo...more | Chemi_jon |
| 12-11-2007 | I have never ever met a poor optometrist
I too studied many years, but can never match the pay levels of an optometrist
My advice to anyone wanting dental treatment or eye tests, go to Eastern Europe.
One day there will be self administered eye tests buyable from any chemist for the purchas...more | Yah Boo Sucks |

| 19-7-2007 | An update on my earlier message. I decided to send one more enquiry to Spexmaniac and to my amazement I had a reply from both Mr and Mrs Guest advising me that my glasses were being sent by first class post - no reason for the delay or why they hadn't answered my several previous enquiries or re...more | Alan |
