    Hi all,

    Can anyone tell me am I better off going with specsavers to use their two for one offer or is the offer not as good as I think it is?

    I basically need two pairs of glasses. Will be getting a free eye test under prsi so figuring out where to go.

    I am in Blanchardstown and there is a vision express in the shopping center but I will travel further to a specsavers if it is worth it.

    I am not looking for anything special in designer glasses or anything and would be spending like €100.

    I will also be looking to get a trial of contact lenses aswell though whether that makes a difference.

    Thanks for any help/advice.

    Or you could go online and get 5 pairs for your budget here. And that would include delivery and an antiscratch treatment on all 5 pairs:D

    Get your free eye test and ask for your prescription and PD (pupil distance) and away you go as simple as that.

    Sorry I have read your post again. Do you require seperate pairs for distance and reading? You kind of imply in your post. If so you cannot buy a pair of distance and get the readers free it doesn't work like that you would get a free pair with your distance and a free pair with your readers having paid for a distance pair and a reading pair. So you will walk out with four pairs of glasses.

    If you need one pair for distance and one for reading, there is a 45e supplement on the 2 for 1 offer. (offer starts at 89e)

    With regards contact lenses- its 32e for a fit- which includes the optician testing the lenses and finding one that suits you best and that you like, a trial of these, a session on how to put them in and take them out (cleaning if necessary) and any appointments for lenses are free for a year after your initial appointment.

    Also, if you decide to go ahead an buy lenses, if you buy in bulk, you can get 1/2 price spex, and possibly consider a cheaper pair for your second pair.

    I would not recommend Specsavers for contact lenses fitting.
    I thought they were fine until I went elsewhere and I would not go back to specsavers for them again.

    you cant tar all of them with the same brush.
    Fair enough you didnt like the particular branch but they are all franchises and some have better staff ;)
