I also use selectspecs and I highly recommend them. It takes a while for your glasses to be glazed if you have a unique prescription (which I have), but they’ve always been very reliable. You can also track your glasses across all stages of the glazing process, which is handy.
I haven’t tried any the other companies listed in the other posts as I was looking for a specific designer frame; however selectspecs also stock their ‘own brand’ frames which are very reasonably priced.
They regularly have discount codes (although less frequently when compared to the past few years). iirc they usually have a code for Black Friday,
One thing I really like is that they offer advice on which lens thickness suits your prescription (rather than specsavers who just upsell you an expensive thinning service irrespective of your needs). This puts control into your hands as to how much the frames/lenses cost in total. All coatings (anti-scratch, UV etc) are free across nearly all the lenses types.
I alwaysget my prescription from Specsavers when I go for an eye-test every 2 years. I ask the optician themselves directly when I’m finished my eye exam. As stated above, you are entitled to a copy of your own prescription (I found this out via the citizens information website, when I find the link I’ll update this post); it’s handy to have for your own records anyway as it allows you to track your prescription across time.
One thing I do recommend is getting a PD (pupillary distance) ruler..... selectspecs have one on their website to buy (think it’s around a few pound or so) and an instruction video on how to measure your PD. This is vital as it ensures the focus of your frames is accurate.
Best of luck with you online glasses purchase

I had my new prescription from Specsavers recently with the PD values : R 36.8. L 34.2. Is this difference unusual ?0 -

Or put pin pricks in a piece of cardboard. Not while in front of your eyes

I ordered from goggle4u on October 16; received them on Tuesday last Nov 6. Mine were reading glasses only - not complicated. Unusually delivery was from Pakistan via the UK.
Mine should be here today so, I ordered the 18th... Mine were as uncomplicated as you can get, zero prescription just anti glare coating for driving at night as I recently got lasered0 -
