Spec Savers???

[Tinks]

Does anyone know how much extra they charge for bifocals? I forgot to ask.

[Party-of-five]

don't know about the bifocals but I recommend them too...DDs are always getting at my glasses and they havent broken yet so I think they are great

Hey Tinks.

Mum who has bifocals went to spec savers the other week and they were going to charge her over $600 for one pair. she went to Laubum and pank and got them for a bit cheaper. (not sure if they are SA only that company or not) so get the prescription done then shop around.

I have single vision lenses and got 2 pair for $259 from Spec Savers. A lens fell out of my most used pair today, but I managed to pop it back in. Will go there over the weekend just so they can seal it properly.

Ouch Astrolady! I think DD's lenses were about $100 extra.

My sister got 2 pairs for i think she said $299 and hers are pretty nice. I went to OPSM because thats closer to home and spent $380 which is cheaper than my last pair which were $450.

If my glasses werent as sexy as they are i would have gone to specsavers

i just went there and got my kids glasses
last pair i spent 400 bucks on for DS1 and he had them for 2 weeks and havent seen them since

this time i got them both 2 pairs each- they wear adult glasses
DS1 2 pair i was out of pocket -$34
DD 2 pair i was out of pocket - $35
so it cost me $69 for 4 pairs of glasses
sweet as!!

Are Spec Savers glasses brand names, or are they all generic ones? Just curious if you dont mind me asking.

DH got his first at big W and cost lots cant remember how much now, then I washed them oops damm cargo pants!!!! He got replacment there but was never happy with them gave him headaches etc.

I made him appt after lots of whinging at specsavers and her got 2 pairs less than 1 at big w!!!!!
No issues at all was very happy.

We use them also. DS has glasses, was told he needed bifocals also. DH wanted a second opinion so I went to Specavers & they agreed with everything except the need for bifocals. Got his glasses $170 for 2. Then he broke a pair from fiddling with them all the time. I tool them in to get a "quote" on fixing them. They took them, had them for about 2 weeks before I got them back but they didn't charge me a cent in repairs. Said it was under warranty. Even though DS broke them from fiddling. DS recently had a check up (8 months later) but with a bahavioural optometrist & he said his current glasses are just fine for what he needs. So Happy that I didn't use teh very first place & pay a heap of money more for frames we really didn't like but was the best they had for bifocuals he didn't need.
