    Have bought glasses online from zenni optical. And they're generally grand, only problem I've found is that they tend to scratch quite easily.

    hi niceirishfella...
    Thanks for that, I am shocked at the prices they are charging here in Ireland!! I was quoted €225 from well known opticians!! for 2 pairs of normal glasses! I cam home looked up online, and ordered 2 pairs one varifocal, both with tints, and Anti- glare!! for the massive price of €60!!!! from USA.. Waiting for them to arrive, so will let you know when I get them.. :p

    Are you new to varifocal? have you used varifocals before? who will you turn too if you don't get on with the varifocal?

    Changing varifocal brands can cause problems.
