Prescription glasses for less than €6

    *update* Use code 67Aum287 no need to use facebook

    Tried this last week with goggles4u and it would not work but they seem to have since fixed the problem. How it works is if you like them on facebook you get a code for a free pair of glasses (frame and lenses) go to goggles4u and pick a frame in the 4.99 range, then select CR39 lenses. At the checkout select credit card so you can enter the code(you can change back to paypal by the drop down)

    All that has to be paid it 4.99 shipping which comes to about 5.90 euro.

    Handy for a spare pair of glasses.

    You sure? It was only posted 2 hours ago and I only got an email about it this morning. Where is it saying expired on the website or facebook?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I can't see anything about it being expired anywhere.

    Your optician legally has to give you your prescription if you ask.

    The code I got was 67Aum287

    I just ordered 4 pairs of glasses for £30. You just select £4.99 frames and the basic £20 lenses - you just pay £5 each for shipping :D I've gotten glasses from this lot a good few times, can't fault them although it does take about 2 or 3 weeks for delivery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭Moon54


    Thanks, I used the code 67Aum287 and it works,
    €5.82 glasses, nice one. :)

    Thats the code I got too. Must be the same for all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭gerbo


    Thanks for this, great deal:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭blobbie


    Yup -smashing deal.

    3 pairs for £14.97


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,138 ✭✭✭gipi


    I tried this just now, and it didn't recognise the code.

    However, there is a coupon special on their homepage - type in "UKSpecial" during the checkout process (when prompted to enter a coupon code), and the specs will be discounted to £2.99 plus postage (£4.99).

    Still a bargain! Thanks for the tip, OP!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭blobbie


    The code is 67Aum287

    The code in the 1st post is missing the "2"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 yermy


    thanks OP, just oredered a pair, code 67Aum287 worked just fine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,138 ✭✭✭gipi


    Thanks blobbie - that explains why it didn't work for me, I just copied and pasted the code from the first post.

    I should have read the rest of the threads more carefully....but if I had, I might not need glasses, lol!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭WebGeek


    Wow - great deal allright!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 792 ✭✭✭mmalaka


    It is not working....expired?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,356 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Not sure about today but I ordered another one last night about 10pm and it worked fine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Quick question about filling in the prescription part if anyone could help.
    My prescription just basically says "left eye -1.5, Right eye -1.5"

    So how would I fill that in in the sphere, cyclinder, axis, add drop down menu?

    You don't have your full prescription. If you had it would be obvious. Go back to optician.

    Is this expired? I'm getting 'Coupon not found'

    Is there a new one does anyone know/have, or have I missed the boat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,845 ✭✭✭Jet Black


    Yeah its expired on their website.

    I only ordered last week and they arrived yesterday. They must batch up orders from wherever they make them and send to the UK to despatch to customers from there.

    I got 2 pairs last week, took about 2 weeks to arrive.

    Unfortunately though both pairs were way too strong. The prescription was definitely right because I used the same one on eyebuydirect last year and they were perfect.

    I wonder what the returns process is like...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,356 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Third week now, still nothing for me :(

    Don't worry, they'll definitely be on this week, I'm sure.
    I got mine last week. I've ordered plenty of times and it usually takes 2-3 weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,845 ✭✭✭Jet Black


    I got an email to say the offer has been extended for 48hours.

    New code uyh38464fz

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,356 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Finally got the delivery of them today :)

    I must say for €6 (including shipping) they really are good bargain. No problem with the lenses, they are spot on and the frame quality is decent.

    Overall happy with them and on that basis suggested this to couple of more friends.
