www.spec-tech.co.uk Spec-tech glasses repair service

Advantages: Repair job was ok
Disadvantages: Very slow service, overcharged me, lied about postage date. Very hard to get a refund.

Please do not go with this company. I choose them because they seemed to have a friendly website and displayed a picture of their shop front. This made me think it was a real company with real people behind it, rather than some sort of big business. Although this may be true, it really did not add to their service. I sent my glasses for repair 1st class special delivery on a wednesday. They arrived on the Friday. I chose this company primarily because ...
...arms on my glasses fixing. I had heard nothing from them by Thursday afternoon so rang them. They had to look for my glasses and then said they would fix them there and then (this was at 5pm). They said they would then ring me back in half an hour. I heard nothing from them so rang them the next morning. They said that they were running late and hence had not rung back, but the glasses had been fixed. So I payed an agreed 25 pounds to have both arms ...

Cheap and Cheerful prescription glasses Solo 001

Advantages: cheap, fast service
Disadvantages: none

Cheap and cheerful but do exactly what they say on the tin.... and most importantly they are great value for money. I had seen these glasses in my local optician for nearly £100 including lenses and i picked them up her for only £9.95 inlcuding lenses... absolutely amazing! I'm not going to be walking down the catwalk in these glasses! but they are a great spare pair for work at the rate i go throught them The website has great quaility pictures ...
...models of popular frames which makes it really easy to see what you are buying before you go ahead. The glasses are available in a choice of colours including gold, brown and gunmetal and came complete with a cleaning cloth and durable plastic hard case. Service was first class ... Rebecca the online optician helped me through every step of the process The glasses arrived within a week which was much faster than the time quoted on the website... ...

Review of Solo 001 Glasses

Getting a baby to wear these is like wrestling an octopus.

Advantages: Protects eyes from UV
Disadvantages: Expensive, couldn't get my babies to wear them

What are they? Baby banz are sunglasses for age 0-2, they are normal mini-sunglasses with good quality lenses with a wrap around neoprene headband instead of arms to keep them on. The band is adjustable via a velcro band, and the headband has "baby banz" printed on it and is slightly wider at the back for a snug fit. They come in different colours, I bought a pair in pink, and they came in a funky see through case. Reason for Purchase ...
...no idea why I ever thought £9.99 was a reasonable amount to spend on sunglasses for a baby. I can only assume that I thought they looked cute, though I do know that it is important to shield the eyes from UV so perhaps I thought these would do the job. The manufacturer's website says they are fun for kids, maybe I thought my baby would like wearing them? Experience of Product For me these glasses didn't work at all, for two babies, both of ...

Review of Rayban Baby Banz

Blinded by the sun...and insects....and sweat......

Advantages: 3 pairs of glasses for the price of 1, very cheap, very comfortable
Disadvantages: They look a bit tacky, not a popular or fashionable brand (but who cares?)

...pair of glasses made by Madison (an established manufacturer of cycling apparel with a good reputation), called the D’Arcs. The D’Arcs are different to most types of glasses in that they consist of a frame with 3 inter-changeable lens, which means that one pair effectively does the job of three. My mind was made up and I promptly ordered some D’Arcs and eagerly awaited my purchase. ****The box and its contents**** The D’Arcs arrived in a large ...
...I have only ever seen Madison marketing them to the cycling fraternity, which is strange. Surely their marketing department should be trying to push these to other extreme sports markets (snow boarding, ski-ing, sailing etc.) to grab larger market share? Maybe they have tried, and failed, since this is quite a competitive market that is dominated by Oakley, Fox and other ‘fashionable’ brands. The box also states “The Ergonomix name signifies the ...
