Advantages: Cheap but good Glasses

Disadvantages: None as yet

I needed some new prescription glasses and went to the local chain spectacle high street shop and had, at the time, what I thought was a good deal, 2 pairs of glasses, 1 for reading and 1 for long distance. The reading pair was £85 with scratch resistant lenses and the distance pair around £145 with scratch resistant, photo chromatic, and anti glare lenses. I also required another pair of the distance glasses with anti scratch and anti glare but these would cost another £125.
I thought about buying glasses off the net, but thought about what could go wrong and it was with some trepidation that when I Googled "glasses", I came across Spex4less.com.

But when you read the web site it seems to be to good to be true.

This is from the web site.

FREE Custom-made prescription lenses. That's right, FREE, the exact same lenses made to your prescription that you would normally pay over £40 for in a high street opticians

FREE Carry case & cleaning cloth, each pair is also dispatched with a protective hard case and cleaning cloth just like you would expect from any high street optician.

FREE Anti-scratch treatment, each pair of glasses is treated with an Anti scratch formula to help with the wear and tear of modern day living.

Glasses are CE marked for quality just like the ones you would find in the high street only here you get them much cheaper

12-Month Durability Guarantee. Every single pair of glasses I supply is covered by my 12-month guarantee against any defects or breakages including the lenses. In the unlikely event that this should be the case I will either repair or replace at my expense

I ordered a pair and checked the price, the anti scratch was free as was the anti glare. The stock is very big with all types of frames with full details on how to select the frame to suit you. The pair I ordered was spring sides, reading, anti scratch, and anti glare and the price £27. 95, with a reasonable cost of £2. 95 Shipping.

Today one week later they arrived as good as the looked on the site and were £94.10p cheaper than from the high street.
Mark Bowden who owns the practice is an optician with years of experience and if you read the web site you will find out he is more than qualified with a very good money back guarantee which will exchange or refund any glasses which are wrongly ordered, or if you make a mistake ordering them.
