Prescription Glasses
18 Answers
Hi everyone
Do any of you have experience of ordering prescription glasses on line. They seem so cheap compared with the opticians that I am wary. Also do Asda get their lenses made up at the same place as other opticians. Maybe someone on here is in the trade so to speak and have insider information !!!! Many thanks in advance for sharing any experiences you think might help me make a decision.

I've had a very occasional pair that weren't quite right or needed tweaking and they were tweaked/exchanged/refunded without a quibble.
I would say that I have a (very) simple prescription for distance/driving - if I needed varifocal or high-index lenses I'd probably not risk an online supplier - just too difficult to get them exactly right.
If you are going to order, you'll need one measurement that is not part of your optical prescription - the Pupillary Distance (PD) - worth asking whoever does your eye test to measure it and tell you what it is, rather than trying to estimate/measure it yourself.

Thanks sunny-dave and buenchico. I think on reflection I will go with Asda as my prescription isnt standard. Asda is reasonable for 2 pairs but I was a bit worried about the quality of the lenses which is why I was asking if all opticians by and large get their lenses made up at the same place. Thank you, you've all been very helpful
We’ve been getting our prescription specs from Asda since they started doing them. We’ve had varifocals, readers, and other half has a prism in one lens. Never had a problem and would be hard pressed to go anywhere else.
We go to a local optician for our eye tests though as Asda don’t do the diabetic one, and just take the prescription along to Asda.
Highly recommended.

If the prescription is competently made, you can buy glasses in any store. The main thing is that they have quality products. Therefore, it is necessary to check the information about the store before buying. I have been told that at Ocuwear, you can find a pretty good range of glasses. You can check this information.
