Hi,
I have to buy 2 pairs of prescription glasses and it is looking like costing me >$900.
I have had this friends and family offer before which saved me a great deal of money.
Does anyone have a pamphlet or brochure that they can give up?
Thanks in advance
Yes my husband and I found OPSM incredibly expensive. He ended up finding his glasses online and ordered them from somewhere in NSW. I went to specsavers and was happy there. With my husband he was going to be $400 out of pocket after extras rebates. He ended up with $60 out of pccket including delivery. So check around and google the glasses brand or style.
He used Glasses Galore, if that helps. They were great to deal with.
Not sure how bad your eyesight is but here is some things I did and found out during my recent research.
I purchased just the frames from Metsuki.
The lenses I ended up going to L&P. The lady there recommended the standard polycarbonate lenses . She informed me that they provided a better clarity than the higher index frames.
As my eye sight is bad most online places can't do my prescription so I thought I'd purchase the frames online and lenses at a brick and mortar store. I figured if there were any issues with the lenses I could go back to the store.
You can buy insurance but that only covers the lenses as the frames weren't purchased in the store.
As for OPSM I do believe RAC members receive 10% discount. You can haggle that for yourself and furthermore ask for a discount for purchasing a package i.e. frames and lenses from them.
Take a look at today's Catch of the day then just get the lenses fitted at your OPSM. $30 for frames is excellent.
May want to check out a few comments I left on this thread regarding frames and prescription lenses as I countered the OPSM prices.
