Varifocals from online opticians?
Anyone done this?
I am done with Vision Express and their expensive glasses that are cheap. |

Would never do it. They need to be fitted so that they work for you. The line between reading and distance is precise. I normally get my varifocals from Asda. Due to lockdown I ended up at local optician and paid over £300 for the new super varifocal, wider view, blue tint which you can't see but stops headlight glaring etc. I always wondered if getting a better lens would make a difference and to be honest it does.
However point of story was I still went to Asda to get a backup pair. I put them on and reading wise I couldn't get anything below line 8 on the card. The other glasses I could do line 3 easily and line 2 a bit. They double checked and the fitting was according to them 2mm off what it should have been which was why it didn't work. I have to take their word for it but 2mm in my mind in nothing but must be important for varifocals. Edited at 04:19 PM. |

If you are close to Cambridgeshire, cannot recommend this lot enough.

I priced mine up online, the £15 frames ended up being £177. Only a few pounds cheaper than usual, so definitely not worth it for me. I used to use Tesco optician but it is now vision express. The glasses are so expensive there so I take my prescription elsewhere to get my glasses ( a family run place) . When my next eye test is due I will also go there to get my eyes tested.
