Glasses knackered & Vision Express

Never been to Vision Express before but after treading on my glasses yesterday, I needed some new one's quick. I hadn't noticed my glasses fall off the window sill onto the floor and I trod on them and smashed them to smithereens!

I had to make do today with an old pair about 5 years old which are an old prescription but just good enough for me to see to drive! So I went into vision express in the westfield centre in Derby. They didn't have the lenses in so couldn't do the 1hr service but they are ready to collect at 1pm tomorrow.

I always thought that the customer service etc wouldn't be all that good but I couldn't fault them. Very helpful and I got accidental damage insurance for 2 years for £19 which will pay 75% of any repair or replacement bill.

Anyone else used vision express before?

These are the new specs: http://www.zanla.info/upfile/2011120204325329761.jpg LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

As a Time Lord couldn't you have just gone back to a minute before treading on your spectacles and prevented the accident from occurring - then - fast forward to real time and lived happy ever after in the knowledge that you'd have saved pounds on a new pair of glasses. Laughing

Wifey has Ted Baker specs, the paint is always flaking off around the hinges, changed on numerous occasions.
Personally I always use spex4less, never had a problem although my script is pretty straightforward.

i have Gucci, bought after an eye test a fair few years ago for about £380 plus lenses, went back a year later, eyes needed new lenses £90, went back the year after, eyes improved new lenses £90, went back year later, eyes improved you don't need to wear glasses for the PC, but you need new lenses for when your driving if your eyes are tired £90

At this rate i could have had my eyes shot with a laser and not need glasses, iirc im 0.25 in one and +0.10 in the other or something like that
