Looking to get some new glasses. Think il be looking to get some designer glasses. So seeing as I will be spending more than I ever had on glasses is there any deals? Buy 1 get 1 free or cheaper would be good. Ideally il be able to not fall asleep with these glasses! Not overly hopefully though.

Get something that suits your face, not what label's on them.

Seeing as you are oop north you could do worse than booking yourself in at the eyeclinic at GCU. They need patients for the students, you will get better looked after than you thought possible and the prices will beat the high st hands down.
Only draw back is that it may take a couple of visits.
Oh and did I mention the students.... whistle

Although many might disagree, I got brilliant service from my Tesco optician the other day.

Eye test was thorough and after I moaned about some pain I was getting in the mornings (months after my daughter stuck her finger in my eye), he took the time to diagnose the problem, (recurrent corneal erosion).

Got the buy one get one free deal so got some nice Guess Frames and some Nike sunnies. Both arrived quickly and look good quality.

(Was made all the better by their Clubcard points deal at the time which basically got me £240 worth of specs for £60 worth of vouchers we had lying around)

Should have gone to Specsavers...

IIRC they do BOGOF on designer frames too - you get the cheaper ones free.

Although TBH, I've had 2 pairs of glasses the last few times I've had new ones and I only ever wear one set. I find the lenses are a different shape for different glasses (I even got the same glasses once and they sat differently on my nose). Any way, I find that my peripheral vision is 'distorted' when i switch glasses and it takes a day or two for my brain to get used to it, so I never bother.

Just my experience. And before any of you chime in, I've not exactly got milk bottle glasses ~ +2.5 in each eye.
