Has anybody bought a pair of specs online? Who did you buy with, and did they fit ok or require adjustment at optician?

Looking about myself at the moment as specsavers had nothing I fancied on offer and I need a new set as mine are from circa 1998.

Take your prescription from whoever did the test and have a look at other opticians to see if they have any frames. I'd advise against shopping online for them unless you're absolutely sure they'll suit you and your head shape. Better to try them on before you buy

Just bought my first pair from these guys. Nice pair of Gottis.

I did go into the shop at liverpool street to get advice, as my first pair.

Very good service.

I used glasses direct about 18months ago. I actually got my prescription wrong, they picked up on this and called me to confirm what it should be! I was only ordering a 15quid pair too!
