Prescription Sunglasses

Anyone any idea where to buy cheap prescription sunglasses? Only really want them for hols and maybe when i'm reading outside. As i only need them for reading don't want to pay a lot. Thanks

vision express do an excellent range in prescription sunglasses, i think the nearest one is in the mall in blackburn, you might be able to get them from specsavers too

Never thought about that .. do you really mean 'prescription' or just asking if you can buy the reading glasses as in supermarkets, etc., but for the sun too? Would be interested myself, as find myself on holiday having to put on reading glasses and sun screen ones too.. look a right plonker.

Thanks Sara/Flashy.. sure these are around.

I got a pair from here , they cost me around £54.00, ideal for driving but they took two weeks to arrive 'Due to all the process involved with sunglasses'. They contacted me on several occasions and were very helpful.

Just had a look at that site: Welcome to Glasses 4 Less. What does the world look like through Less's specs?

I needed prescription sunglasses one year and what i did went to specsavers got a cheap pair of frames and got the lenses tinted dark for sunglasses cost me about £30.

Thanks for all your suggestions. (Yes Katex you can get prescription sunglasses.) Have been into all the opticians in Accrington and the cheapest works out at around £80, don't really want to spend that much as my glasses cost me a fortune only a few months back. Have looked on the web site Len, and it looks okay shall have a better look after work thanks. Phillip Pratt is still going flashy, think it's owned by two brothers now. Specsavers was expensive to shillelagh, you must have got yours when they were doing an offer. Once again thanks.

Have you tried teh place down clayton next to where Rileys snooker factory was? Turn right at hare and hounds (travelling from Accy) and its on your left just before the first minin roundabout. They were one of teh cheapest places when Julie and I needed glasses.

What I was actually trying to say Sara was .. don't need prescription glasses for reading as can buy these even in the Pound Shop.
Was wondering if they did magnifying glasses with a sun screen..hope this makes sense

Prices quoted by our fellow members here seem ridiculously high.

Makes sense now Katex. Hubbie has suggested buying books with bigger print, can't print what i told him to do.

you could just have your own ones tinted dark then removed once you've come back. This is possible i know that Spex on Church street do this.
