ok, but what about the price?

And where to go?

Have you tried Asda.

[Entwood]

That's cheap ... my varifocals cost £450 odd quid, and the frames were re-used !!!

SWTSMBO had to have new frames as hers broke ... just over £500 in total ..

There is a spAsda nearby, but no, they took specsavers out of their precinct and put their own in, they didn't fill me with confidence on booking an appointment much less messing around with eyes. Although I've had the eye test done now, so might be worth a look for just glasses.

I have a pair of reading glasses and a pair of distance glasses and between them you are looking at around £700 from opticians.
I need wire frames as my job requires me to peer over the frames a lot and then it's extra for scratch resistant lenses.
Losing your vision is not cheap, which is why a lot of people put it off for so long. I need a hearing aid as well now (aid as in singular as I'm totally deaf in one ear), gawd knows what that will cost.

I have two pairs of reading glasses at 2.5 x magnification. £1 each at poundland

Swmbo has just recently frogmarched shuffled me to Tesco for vision & reading glasses as she said the Pound shop ones I normally insist on were 'rubbish'!
Picked up the new glasses only to find they've forgotten to put the 'intermediate reading' in the lenses, so they've had to go back to the lab
Ah well, back to the old faithful pound shop ones!

Tesco varifocals cost me 12 months ago 75 including frames

I know loads of people use those , ok for throwing around outside i guess

Depends on the prescription, mine are different for each eye. (quiet at the back)... with one eye short sited and one eye long. (I said quiet at the back) and a prism issue to boot. Whatever that is, I know the symptom but not how that affects manufacture of the lenses. They are talking about splicing lenses together, for some reason.

(right I heard that, Esty that's I weeks detention for mentioning bog eyed monster, bloody kids)

Actually, I wouldn't say that you were very much. I wear varifocal with anti-scratch coatings and it usually cost me a bit more than that at Specsavers. BUT mine are Varifical not BiFocal and they have coatings.

Sooooo £277 for two pairs may be a bit OTT but not much.
