I have purchased Glasses on line before, its a lot cheaper than the high streets, they have sizes shown when you purchase it would cost me a fortune in the high street normally thats not including the frame i purchase. i would recommed www.onestopglasses.co.uk they are really good, depending on your perscription it normally takes about ten days from start to finish, i was totally satisfied with the Glasses i purchased, Your perscription must be within two years valid i will never buy from high street opticians again. Good luck

To make sure you get about the right size for your online glasses, just look inside your frame either on the temple or between the lenses on the frame and read those numbers. Then when you go to www.glassesdirect.com scroll down on the left hand side where it says something like frame finder and put those numbers in. Also they have a virtual mirror, where you can upload your picture and try the frames on and a Home Trial service, where they will send you up to 4 frames for a flat rate of $5.99 so you can have the frames sent to you to try on!! You can keep them for about a month, then send them back in the same box with the postage paid mailing label! Now how can you go wrong? I must say, being a Certified Optician for so many years and working for private practices, I never thought that ordering glasses online could be a good thing. Maybe, because all of these private Optometrist' had always dogged the Optical retail chain (i.e. America's Best, Standard Optical) how could I ever think that getting glasses for even less could work out great? So I thought I'd take a chance. My son goes through so many pairs of glasses, even though I get them at cost, I just couldn't keep up with him losing and breaking his glasses. I went online and came across GlassesDirect.com. They have a clean, crisp, open, and easy to understand and place an order with, website. And the prices were not the cheapest but very, very reasonable. I purchased a basic pair of frames at first, received those in about 5 business days (faster service than the local Optical shop). He wore them for a couple of weeks, the frame is sturdy, the prescription right on! So I went back online and ordered my son a pair with transitions and a pair of glasses with a solid tint. Plus when you order 2 pairs, they give you free shipping! And with my first order, they sent along this $5 discount code, the word 'FIRST'. So all together, he now has 3 pairs of glasses for less then I could have gotten them, ordering them at cost at work. I just hope the Doc, whom I work for doesn't
