Recommended fashion glasses shop?


Recommended Posts

Hi there


I'm looking to buy some new glasses frames and would like to buy non branded or original looking specs. There are some good shops such as opera opera in covent garden but charge around ?300-400 for just the frames. They look fab but wondered if anyone could recommend a cheaper alternative either near east dulwich or elsewhere in London?


Many thanks in advance!

Hi,


For a few years now I've bought mine online. For designer frames it is usually under ?100 including prescription& thinner lenses.


Just go to D&A or Vision Express, get your test done and and ask for a copy of your prescription. Choose your frames and note down the number. Then go to an online retailer and put in the code, voila! Save ?300!!


I've used these guys before http://www.selectspecs.com/ - I'll warn you, customer service is non-existent and you can wait two to three weeks but they do turn up. (I've also had lenses from them tested and they were apparently of excellent quality)


Hope this helps!

Be very careful if you have varifocals though.


I used to get my specs online, but it's obviously very hard to get the lenses right if they are going by photos etc.


And they didn't .... twice.

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
