Compare our prices to Specsavers, D&A and Vision Express
What can you save on prices from the high street?
No fluff, no spin - here’s the price comparison table they wouldn’t want you to see.
At Glasses Direct we constantly monitor prices to ensure we’re offering the best value. We recently compared three high street opticians to see how our prices compare. We have based the prices on a single vision prescription. Savings for bifocal or high strength prescriptions can often be much higher.
Also try our new Beat the Street tool, which compares 10 different pairs of glasses from high street opticians to corresponding pairs from our range. See if you can spot which one costs more. Visit the price comparison challenge

Prices comparisons were made on 24th July 2008. Where prices are blank, we could not easily find out the price for that category - after all not everyone who says they like clear pricing is as clear as they could be. We have chosen a selection of typical options but we’d encourage you to come to Glasses Direct for a like-for-like price on your next pair of glasses and see how much you can save.
If you are unsure how to select the precise options above through the website, please call us to talk through your requirements on 08456 88 20 20.
