    Good Points: Apparent price?

    Bad Points: Little advice/service available, the COST of the glasses is not the only consideration when you buy something as technical as glasses!

    General comments: Yes this is a much cheaper way of getting glasses, but I will never use them again. I have a high-ish prescription and after having ordered them i could see ok out of them. was a bit odd to start with, but i put it down to adaption. i gave it a few weeks and during this time i experienced some very bad migraines. i took them to a local optician and found the measurements i entered were wrong. personally, i am now happy to pay for for a service that a local opticians will give me. In life, you get what you pay for and if it means paying more for something i am going to be using, every waking hour for the next 2 yrs or more, then I'm sure many people will find its a price worth paying!

    I do not recommend using Glasses Direct if you are in urgent need of glasses. I ordered my prescription sunglasses, and noted that they would expect to deliver within 14 days but might take up to 28 days. After 14 days I asked where they might be and was told they were at the labs. I eventually cancelled on day 29 - at no point did I receive any contact or reassurance that they were working as quick as they could. I think it is worth noting that the glasses do not seem that cheap, and if I can ...

    I emailed a copy of the prescription to Glasses Direct but you can fax or post a copy to them. A saving of £43.00 on bifocals.

    I was not happy with their customer service and delivery time. I would suggest that you buy your specs somewhere else, there are a lot of other companies to choose from.

    Cheap, but the Glasses Direct www.glassesdirect.co.uk service was a bit patchy. Ordered a pair of sunglasses. Arrived with wrong prescription fitted, and the coating was rippled in several places. Phoned, but the person I spoke to seemed to find it difficult to understand my complaint.

    I wouldn't recommend this as a way to buy glasses. The glasses are good and I don't intend to send them back but the ones I chose have a very narrow angle of view and produce quite a lot of chromatic abberation (rainbow colours) on the edge of my field of vision probably related to my high prescription, but not noticeable on other glasses I've had. I think an optiican would be able to advise you about that. To sum up, Glasses Direct are obviously cheap but as with most services - you do get wha ...

    I really like my new glasses. I had gone through the usual (habit) way of ordering a previous pair from my local optician and, although I was happy with the result, the costs was 10 times what I paid for a similar pair on Glasses Direct. Glasses Direct staff were very helpful on the phone and explained the likely delay clearly to me (and didn't cash my cheque until the pair were despatched!) Hard to find any fault really, and I anticipate ordering a new pair soon!

    excellent service! I am a student, so I cannot afford to be spending £300+ on a pair of glasses for university. Glasses Direct have saved me!

    I asked all my friends if I could try on their specs, and once I found some I liked I took all the measurements. I then matched these to a pair on the Glasses Direct web site. I love them. I paid £15 + £2.50 P&P. In Specsavers they would have cost £75, and I wouldn't have a free hard coating.

    I was very impressed with the glasses. I paid just £15.00 for a pair of prescription glasses. In high street the lenses alone can be expensive.

    Glasses Direct.co.uk provides high street quality glasses at a fraction of the price. It is unbelievable just how much more the high street stores are charging for exactly the same products that can be bought easily and securely on the company website. People buying glasses need to know about the website as a lot of money can be saved.
