Just got back from visiting the opticians...... £423 lighter

 

Got new eyes leutenant Dan?!

 

bloody hell did u get a new set of eyes for that

 

let me guess, the actual test, then the price of new frames(over £140 probably) then the price of the lenses would be alot aswell without even mentioning transitions, or extra coating to protect them etc

 

 

i have to go soon be fookd if im paying out that much tho

 

how much is laser treatment, thats not far of what you spent or am i wrong. or doesn,t it tickle you fance

 

No mate its something like a grand per eye isnt it, so 400 is a long way off

 

why have you posted a picture of stu on this thread?

 

Test - £35 - reduced to £23
Frames - £199 (£149 frames plus £50 additional transitions sunglasses attachments)
Lenses - £249 - reduced to £199



THing is, my current frames have served me for 10yrs now, and they have taken some battering! Since I need new lenses it's time to get a new pair of frames too, so gone with the flexy titanium frames which should take even more punishment, so should last at LEAST another 10years.

Current glasses cost me £350 off all those years ago, so really, £400 in this day isn't too bad..... Still a lot of money tho

 

i dont think its that bad,,,, i would love a nice pair of glasses,,, i personally think they look cool

 

You only get one set of eyes, gotta look after them init

 

Exactly..... And I don't look after my body! I don't do regualr eye test, don't go dentist, my hearing is partially fucked, as are my wrists (carpal tunnel, not wanking ) etc etc - so it's about time I actually did something

The other side to it is I DO need a new pair just so I can have my old pair as a second pair, cos I am fucked without glasses, and since I now live on my own, I have no body to help me out should I lose em, break em etc..... That and new EU legislation coming in soon that will make it mandatory to have a second pair of up-todate-prescription glasses be kept in your vehicle at all times

 

My wifes just got back from the dentist...
£4200 for her treatment....

fookin stunned!!!!!
thats my new car out the window!!!!!!!!

steve

 

i think they saw you coming

 

So should you - opticians is in Waltham Abbey too

Nah, much as I begrudge spending out that kinda money on something that isn't a toy or such like, it don't make sense to scrimp on something that is actually incredibly important!

 

Fuck that kind of money, just give me a white stick and a labrador

christ alive what did she have? a jewel encrusted prostetic jaw?!

 

Laser can be done from £395 per eye apparently.

 

Bargain. Piaw piaw, zap, etc.

 

Is the glass by everest?

 

Its alright 4 me I get my glasses 4 free

How many pairs did u get lol?

 

'Should've gone to spec savers'.....


can believe no one has said that yet!

I don't think thats alot for glasses... I spend more than that. It only gets really expensive if you are like me and go through 7-8 pairs a year

I broke 3 pairs in a weekend once...

Leave them on the train, sit on them, fall asleep in them, Tread on them getting of the bath etc etc....

I like to have at least 3-4 pairs to choose from depending on mood and occasion as well....

For example, I can't wear these to work... apart from a Friday

 

I was gonna go to SpecSavers, but I decided to stay with my personal opticians cos they have always looked after me in terms of service. As I said, I've not ha d a new pair in 10yrs, but in that time they have never charged for for any repairs I needed (like when the lense came out the other week and the frame needed retapping for a new screw, or the time one of the nose pieces broke and needed reattaching etc etc)

So I went with them... Albeit for over £400

 

fookin expensive aren't they.

 

blinding deal

 

"fookin blindin!"...."they must of seen you coming!"....."£423...are you blind!"...........etc....etc....

 

Waaaaaaaay cheaper than that!


Thrush
Why dont you consider laser eye treatment?

 

Thought about it, just never REALLY done anything about it.... I kinda resolved on the fact I wear glasses, so not bothered to go for laser treatment.....

Plus, it isn't ALWAYS successfull, and there have been some cases where the person has had their eyesight worsened, in a couple cases people have been blinded!... And it's not permanent so I am led to belive.....

Hey ho......

 

 

Never considered the new monthly conacts Matt or doesnt your personal prescription allow them?

They were a Life Changing development for me.

 

i got laser surgery done just over a year ago

superb took 3min an eye

and my sights 2 levels above 20 20(fighter pilot sight)lol

£2000 but i paid it up intrest free

 

alot of swedish and other scandanavian people are going to places like estionia for teeth and eye work now because of the prices
apparentl both eyes laser treatment in estonia £1000
save much more on dental treatment top quality clinics also

 

lol you can get it for £400ish an eye in Britain!

 

Stu - never got on with contacts to be fair.....

And regarding the laser treatment - I know a lot of people say it's the best thing ever, but I am just still wary of it... Way I see it, you only get one set of eyes and you can't change em, so if ANYTHING goes wrong with a laser treatment, I'm fucked At least with glasses, anything goes wrong I can get new ones..... And considering I been wearing glasses since I was in infant school (think I was 6? so coming on for 20years now!) it's not like it's a hardship to wear em....

 

what about aftercare

 

Sorry Thrushy but............



You should 'ave gone to

 

He probably hasn't got any glasses...he just wandered in and they nicked his wallet...hardly like he could see to give chase

Sorry Thrush

 

robbed blind
