Need glasses to read with or to ride with?

[Bert]

Having lost yet another two pairs on my last journey to Africa, it is bliss to be able to get them replaced through the web and better still withiout having to pay high street extortionate prices

You can find them here

Glasses direct - I can heartily recommend them
Just a thought for us 'four' eyes!

Dickie my boy

I was referring to proper glasses- by this I mean those which require you to get an eye test first then get prescription glasses- not the rubbish 'off the shelf' reading 'glasses' (which probably will not do your eyes any good).
Get with the program! (must be suffering from Abergavenny syndrome! )

You can have an eye test free the first time you have one.

Then you can buy the prescribed strength reading glasses from the cheapo shop. What do you think the specslavers reading specs are other than expensive magnifying glasses?


(rider - this obviously is not applicable if you have some other ophthamic problem reuiring specialist prescriptions)

 

[Bert]

I am not speaking of reading glasses

but of glasses as a whole which are to correct your vision and not just magnify stuff.

I used to buy pairs which costs a huge amount die to so called'designer' frames-
Now I found a supplier which offers glasses at a more realistic and affordable price. Some of use now need glasses to drive and to read- soon bifocals time!

There is no evidence that wearing spectacles which are not your actual prescription does any harm to your eyesight. However you might not be able to read the print.

Or start to bump into things!

 

[Droopy Dick]

OK if you have a simple prescription.

If you need varifocal/bi-focals, the lenses still cost a fortune and you miss out on the proper fitting that a decent dispensing optician is trained to do.

 

[Daithi]

I have my doubts.

There is no evidence that wearing spectacles which are not your actual prescription does any harm to your eyesight.

Are you sure ?

I thought it was important to keep glasses to prescription for exactly that
reason.
