Cheaper spectacles and contact lenses

Yes, thats what we want!
For those of us not lucky enough to have perfect eyesight, we need to correct our vision with contact lenses and glasses. Where's the cheapest place to get them? Are we being ripped off at the local optician?

Last year in the England and Wales alone there were nearly 11 million eye tests and no doubt many of these individuals required their vision to be corrected using eye glasses or contact lenses.

| 10-3-2010 | specs are tax deductable if used for only specific jobs and nothing else, iobvious example would be a builder using safety specs, though someone who only requires specs for intermediate vision and uses a computer all day should be able to claim against expenses.

| 20-8-2009 | Get on a plane to Taiwan. You can get beautiful pairs of glasses for 20 pounds each. Fancy a spot of acupuncture? 10 pounds per session. Lunch for 90p (pork chop, rice, 3 veg and soup) then take a stroll to the dentist's and have your teeth cleaned and polished for 15 pounds and get a fill...more | Made up with Taiwan |
| 18-7-2009 | Hi,
For people in the UK, I think the best value place for glasses is iWearGlasses: http://www.iwearglasses.co.uk
Prescription glasses start at £9.99 including single vision lenses. Has anyone tried them, or does anyone know anywhere cheaper?

| 04-11-2008 | I bought two pairs of glasses from Moorfields four years ago, for £25 each.

I guess there's a rip-off going on.... | Robin Clay |
| 24-10-2008 | I ordered a pair of glasses one of the links on this page, Optishop, this link takes you to www.opticalmailorder.co.uk and is a very simple site to use.

| 14-5-2008 | I recently used 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 from the High Street Retailers. It was my first time buying glasses online. I found it very easy...more | Surjit Singh (West Midlands) |
