I never go to spec savers but need some new glasses and thought i would go. Can anyone tell me these glasses that are buy one get one free, do they have to be the same type of glasses or can you have one for long distance and one for short sighted

I think it's to stop two people going and getting one pair each

No harm in asking

Good idea, i do usually go for cheaper ones for reading. I was just looking at your specsaver range(gok) and they had got some lovely ones

Last time I went you had to pay for one pair and could have another to the same value. There was no restriction on what so I could have had sunglasses if I had wanted to. It may have changed now though.

Shop around.... Tesco, Boots and many of the chains will have different offers on and different times. Some will let you have two different types of lenses as long as it is your prescription.

I went to specsavers and had one pair of glasses for distance and another for reading.

I wouldnt go there again though, not cos of the glasses but because of the accuracy of the eye test. Obviously it was down to the specific store I used, but I wore contact lenses. I had regular check ups, in fact I went quite a lot because I used to buy coloured lenses and had to get fitted for each pair individually.

But I have an intolerance to contact lenses and every time I put them in, I was getting little tears on my cornea, which resulted in a corneal ulcer which required intense hospital treatment and I cant wear lenses anymore. Luckily my full sight is restored but I have bad scarring, in fact scarring upon scarring which had been there a while and should have been picked up on eye tests.

So just have faith in the optician thats all I say.
