New Specs

[ronk]

There’s a lens and frames only outlet opened close to me - so once I verify the new prescription is ok, I will have my spares and sunglasses reglazed


Ps. -Specsavers have just sent me a “How did we do?” Survey! Should I complete it? They were rubbish but the fella I dealt with was a decent chap and I don’t want to drop him in the poo!

My wife had that same problem with her last pair of specs. They had fitted a very basic vari focal lens - the problem was resolved with the best quality product.

I suspect the wider corridors of correction gives them more tolerance of the optical centres ?

I’ve used varifocals for many years now and wouldn’t consider anything else - when they are fitted/measured correctly it’s the nearest you can get to proper vision.

Only when they are properly fitted!!!!

Ronk and anyone else in the Gateshead area. I have been using these for about 20 years now and never found any better or cheaper.

Take along your prescription and they will fit you up with a new pair just as cheap as Select Specs and cheaper than Specsavers and the like with impeccable service.

My wife took her vari focal glasses along as she had broke the frame. The fitted the lenses to a new frame, took my Rayban sunglasses off me and gave them a good going over while we waited all for £40. Same pair in the Metro Centre were £125

Many opticians send their customers glasses to this place for repairs and fitting lenses.

Many thanks - Ive copied their details into my address book for future ref.

Im sure they will beat the £300 I've just paid Specsavers for my new specs.
I reckon my first task is to have my sunglasses reglazed as the prescriptiom is now outdated. I have a pair in both cars so it would be expensive
as S Savers don't reglaze - its a whole new pair from them.

Once I get the new specs from them it will prove the prescription.

They will sort your sunglasses out also
