I gave in and decided to try varifocal glasses. I was advised by Boots that the lenses by themselves would be over £500! I decided to look online and as glasses2you have got good Trustpilot reviews I went with them. Their prescription glasses start at £19.95 but sadly I knew mine would cost more than that! I chose the Sophia ladies glasses in lilac (also available in silver and gold). They cost £34.99 including prescription lenses but as I was upgrading I went for the Varifocal Alpha Premium Lens: G2Y Platinum Pack which is £116.64. Altogether my glasses cost £144.92.
My glasses are really comfortable to wear, don’t look or feel cheap and are really light, my nose dent from the last pair is slowly disappearing! I did get the thinnest lenses available and they still stick out as you can see in the photos but that happens with all my glasses as my eyesight is so poor. The lenses are still quite light and I can’t really tell I’m wearing varifocals. The colour of the glasses is perfect. The lilac has just the right amount of gold, pink in it to give the face definition. I am really pale so sometimes the colour of glasses can really affect the shape and dimensions of your face. I liked that the front of the glasses frame and the arms had texture which stopped the glasses from looking cheap and boring. I am so pleased to have found this company and I intend to buy the silver version of the glasses as my Christmas present to me! I just wish they had been around when my mum was struggling with her glasses as it really affects your life if your eyesight is poor anyway and then the glasses on offer don’t really help.
I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.
These are great value for money - great styles too

As someone who wears glasses to drive, this was very helpful.

Oh these are actually brilliant. I use glasses for up close computer work and I hate having to spend a fortune for basic reading glasses!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few adverts for this company, but I hadn't paid them much attention before. They sound like they know what they're doing, so I may recommend them to my partner as they wear glasses
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThat must be hard suffering with Glaucoma. I've recently started wearing glasses as work. Must admit, the lilac pair is very pretty. You saved a pretty penny from 500.00 pound!
They seem a great price, what a fantastic saving!
