If your eyesight prescription is between 1.0 and 3.5 then you don’t need to be spending between £100 and £150 on a new pair of glasses, because if your prescription is within this range then you can quite simply opt to buy you new glasses ‘off the shelf’ for the rather more economical price of £10.
If your eyesight prescription is between 1.0 and 3.5 then you don’t need to be spending between £100 and £150 on a new pair of glasses, because if your prescription is within this range then you can quite simply opt to buy you new glasses ‘off the shelf’ for the rather more economical price of £10.

It is recommended that you go for regular eye check-ups and have a valid prescription. If you have had an eye test carried out within the last twelve months then you can confidently buy a pair of reading glasses off the shelf safe in the knowledge that you won’t be doing any damage to your vision. Opticians exist as a business just like any other high street store and, as such, they are in the market to maximise their profits. It is because of this reason that they rarely offer advice that affects the profits of their businesses, but the fact of the matter is that as long as you have had an eye test carried out within the last twelve months and are in possession of a valid prescription that falls within the range of 1.0 and 3.5 then you are quite free to purchase your glasses from any number of outlets that sell them off the shelf.

Glasses for the Masses

You’ve probably seen ‘off the shelf’, ready to wear reading glasses in your local supermarket or chemists, these stores tend to buy in glasses for the masses that have relatively low prescriptions and are favoured by the casual glasses wearer who wears glasses for reading and driving.

However, you’ve probably noticed that the types of frames that supermarkets and chemists stock aren’t particularly stylish and tend to be rather flimsy. For a more sturdy build of glasses and a large selection of frames you would be well advised to consider purchasing a pair of reading glasses online.

Low Prescription Equals Low Cost

Because your prescription falls within a relatively low range you won’t have to opt for some of the pricier lenses on the market, such as a high index lens or a super high index lens and can instead buy ready to wear glasses online that come complete with a standard lens that fits your prescription and a frame that fits your style.

Reading glasses online start at around £10 and, unlike those mundane styles that you often see in your chemist, companies that sell reading glasses online provide the customer with a range of styles, shapes and colours.

In addition to having a wide selection of styles, if you want to buy reading glasses online then you will also find a variety of glasses designed for a specific purpose. Compact reading glasses and folding reading glasses are available for travelling; magnetic reading glasses that can be stuck to your fridge are available for those prone to losing their glasses and stylish reading glasses are available for those wanting to add a bit of glamour to their appearance.

By buying your reading glasses online you are cutting out the middleman, who in this case is an optician and stand to put your eyesight as well as your finances in the clear.
