Advantages: Glass options at reasonable prices Disadvantages: Can be difficult to figure out if something will suit you.
I went and had my eyes tested recently and afterwards went through the usual attempt to find some glasses that were nice, but didn't blow my finances. I was being recommended thin len's for my prescription type (short sighted, -325/-275) and the cost of these before I even had a chance to choose the frame meant I'd be spending in the mid £100's. Looking at frames, I was adding anything from £70-£160 more for the one's I liked.
I left the optician ... ...after payday and try looking again. I mentioned it to my sister, and she recommended Selectspecs.co.uk.
Visiting their site they breakdown glasses on offer by various categories. If you know your "designer" go straight there. If you want to see price ranges, pick that option. If you want to see male/femail/unisex, fine! Or finally, you might want to choose by style, rimless, semi-rimless, bendable, titanium and bifocals.
I decided for this first ...

Advantages: Good selection of frames, great price saving, good quality. Disadvantages: Have to do any final fitting adjustments yourself; possible slightly longer wait.
I ordered rear surface varifocals a few weeks ago from this site. I have to admit being nervous about it, but it was the only way I was going to get new prescription glasses at a price I could afford, so decided to give them a try. Am I glad I did! They took a little longer than usual (about 3 weeks) to make my glasses as they had had a higher than usual number of orders due to some special deals they were offering. I received an email on Friday ... ...and received them on, Monday 22/6! Incredibly fast shipping! The frames are great and the lenses- I have a slightly more complicated than normal prescription, including astigmatism - are perfect! I haver saved well over £200 when compared to my usual optician! My last glasses cost me £230 just to reglaze my old frames a year ago; the lenses were the cheaper, thicker type, and I was never entirely happy with the prescription. When I got my eyes tested ...

Advantages: The Price and the free extra's Disadvantages: sometimes there could be a delay
I bought a pair of sunglasses a few months ago, they cost me £35, I could have got the frames else where for a similar price but would have had to get the persciption lenses made up. having a stong perscription and eye problems at the moment it was costing me a fortune doing this so I tried selectspecs. The specs came from Hong Kong which is slightly different from where the web site said but I didn't mind. Espically when you look at one thing, these ... ...are the same disign as a pair from Rudy Project (£200) but only cost £35.
They arrived in 20 days from the order and are very good, so good infact that now my perscription has changed again after the opperation I have ordered another pair from them. Just think of what they give you for free, getting the same from any other web site or the high street will cost upto £150.
I believe if you can get your glasses from anywhere and the price is just ...
