Glasses...Expensive or what!
32 Answers
got told at the opticians today that I need glasses, £20 eye test then, £99 glasses (granted it was 2 for 1) :-) and £30 to have anti glare treatment on one of the pairs, which probably costs them about 10p! daylight robbery!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Mine were £389 for two pairs at SS - one pair are sunglasses. I had such a job getting the ones I wanted but got there in the end. However I need to go back, had them since early November but they are so uncomfortable on my face, they feel so sharp and rigid. The nose supports dig in my face and the sides do not sit correctly over my ears. I have taken them back twice already but all they do is pull them out of shape a bit more each time! £400 for that!
I suppose that does seem an awful lot of money to a young lad for basic glasses.
I've been paying out mega money for glasses for donkeys years .Last lot were nearly five hundred notes .Still I suppose that's loads better than those horrid NHS bottlebottoms I had to wear as a child back in the year dot :)
It is expensive though if you need specific lenses .I put my prescription into one of these online opticians and they wouldn't touch it .
