Online prescription glasses

Any recommendations for a non spammy online retailer and any advice on the lenses/coatings to get.

Cheers

What prescription do you have??

I personally know some coatings seem to break down on high prescription lenses. Do you want/ need thinned lenses? Do you need varifocals?

There are many permutations depending on your prescription. Then those with some experience might be able to recommend something.....

I buy my glasses online and have done for many years

For online only good value mainstream branded spectacle frames with decent online or phone advise on thicknesses of lenses and coatings I’d recommend Pret a voir

For an online retailer that also has shops you can visit if you need extra help then I’d use Cubitts.
They only do their own glasses but are very good quality snd the lenses have been brilliant
A few people I know use them now

Used Glasses Direct for my prescription. Picked up 4 x pairs in various sungle focus guises - near (reading), mid (computer), far range (long distance v. minor correction) and sunglasses (long distance) less than £50 for the lot (there was an offer on). Impressed with all of them and the Asda prescription appears spot on.

I used lensology which were fine but I think I must have had 700 emails from them since.

I happened to ask about replacement lenses from specsavers when picking up some contacts (cheaper than online!) and there wasn't much in it. Will be going down that route next time. I only did online first time around thinking it was cheaper.

Try goggles4u

I’ve had a few pairs from them over the last couple of years, no problems with prescription errors or anything.

They always have an offer on. Leave your item in the basket for a day or so and you’ll usually get a 70% off code. I’ve recently ordered a pair of rimless and a pair of sunglasses, both +1.5 readers, for £16 delivered.

Be prepared for daily emails, though easily sorted by unsubscribing.
