    Just bought a pair of Oakley frames on ebay, Vision Express had them @ €350 inc standard lenses and they told me standard lenses werent great :rolleyes:

    Can anybody reccomend a place to get lenses for these, i would assume most opticans would be capable of doing this but im looking for somwhere relatively cheap.

    Thanks

    The quality of lenses varies ridiculously. They assumed that if you were will in to buy a quality pair of frames, you'd have no problem in improving the quality of your lenses.

    I bought a pair of D&G frames in TK Maxx of all places for €25. Went into specsavers who wouldn't put lenses in them at all. Ended up getting them in Vision Express and it cost me about €180 for lenses that were on the higher end of the scale. (I don't know all the ins and outs but they weren't the best ones, maybe one step down)

    specsavers charges 45e for basic lenses, if u want anti glare extra 45e.
    youl have to sign a disclaimer form tho as its not one of their frames.
