Ordering glasses online
Discussion
Anyone here used OpticiansDirect.co.uk? I need some new varifocals and the ones I like seem very well priced on this website, to the point of seeming too good to be true. Trustpilot reviews seem overwhelmingly positive. I have my prescription from a local optometrist which I got a couple of weeks ago so what could possibly go wrong, as they say?
Alternatively, the frames I want are from Oakley. I can order direct from them and they do lenses as well, are their lenses much/any better than high-street opticians or other online ones?

Thanks all. OpticiansDirect don't seem to do Oakley varifocal lenses, only reading or distance, whereas Oakley.com will let you specify varifocals. The part I'm unsure about is whether or not Oakley prescription regular lenses are worth the premium or not. For my prescription sunglasses I will stick with Oakley though.
