I can see clearly now: how to cut the cost of eyewear
For cheaper lenses and glasses, you need to focus on the internet, says David Prosser
Saturday 15 July 2006
Are you spending hundreds of pounds a year on correcting your vision? A survey published this week suggests that the average specs-wearer spends more than £200 a year on frames, lenses and care, rising to more than £600 for those who wear contact lenses.
But, while buying glasses or lenses from upmarket high-street boutiques or even run-of-the-mill opticians could land you with a bill running into hundreds of pounds, there are ways to cut the cost of eyecare sharply. Even if you're not entitled to free eye-tests or money off equipment, there are more than 20 websites that sell glasses and lenses, including leading designer names, at a fraction of the cost on the high street.
"Head to a high-street optician to buy your specs and you'll pay about £99 for a basic lens and frame," says Martin Lewis, the founder of the consumer website Moneysavingexpert.com. "Buy them online, and you could pay as little as £10.50 for the frames and lenses - plus they will be delivered straight to your door at no extra cost."
In order to place an order for glasses with any supplier - online or not - you will need the details of your prescription. This means going along for an eye test, which will cost about £25 unless you are entitled to a free check. All reputable eyewear retailers will not accept you as a customer unless you have had an eye test within the previous two years.
Once you've had the test, the optician is under a legal duty to provide you with your prescription, irrespective of whether or not you buy anything from him.
Make sure that you understand what the prescription means. While online retailers' sites include guides to prescription terms, your optician's code should not be difficult to decipher. The three most basic terms are sphere, specifying the strength of the lens; cylinder, the correction for astigmatism (if you have this condition); and axis, which also refers to astigmatism.
Your prescription may also contain other information, all of which must be passed on when you buy your glasses or lenses. If you don't understand what the optician is saying, ask for clarification.
In addition, if you are buying glasses online, you won't have the opportunity to try them on, but you will need to specify sizes so that you get a pair that fits your head properly.
The easiest way to do that is to identify the size of an existing pair of glasses that fit you comfortably. This is most typically displayed on one of the arms, and there are three numbers to look for. The first is the lens diameter; the second is the bridge width; and the third is the length of the arm. The first two measurements are often separated by a small rectangle.
Alternatively, the numbers may be shown on the bridge, on the nose-rest of your glasses. There may be only two numbers, in which case the arm length will be shown separately on the arm. Note that while the diameter of your lenses is a matter of personal choice, the bridge width and the arm length are more important - they will determine whether or not your glasses fit properly.
Inevitably, however, some people will discover that the glasses they have ordered are not comfortable. Some of the cheap sites offer guaranteed refunds or exchanges, and it may be worth sticking to these, at least on the first occasion that you buy.
Armed with all the information about the glasses you require, you're ready to start shopping around. The table (below left) shows the price of the cheapest glasses at 10 leading online discounters, but it's worth consulting a range of sites once you have identified the specific pair you want.
Some sites are better value than others on designer brands, for example, while others may work out cheaper if you have additional requirements - you may want tinted lenses, for example, or bifocals. Also, many of the sites run special offers from time to time, so the cheapest retailer will vary day to day.
A different set of websites offers cut-price contact lenses. Here, the trick to exploit is that while many companies - from specialist opticians to supermarkets - sell lenses, there are only a small number of manufacturers. Buy Boots' daily disposable lenses, for example, and you're actually buying lenses made by Bausch & Lomb.
In many cases, identical lenses are available at widely differing prices, depending on the brand you buy. Find the cheapest brand and you can save a fortune, without compromising in any way on the quality of your eyewear.
"The longer the supply you buy, the cheaper it works out - three, six or preferably 12 months' worth is usual, although don't buy more than a year's supply in case your prescription changes," Lewis adds.
There is, however, a catch compared to the market for glasses. "When buying lenses from a discounter, it is still important to get regular aftercare," Lewis says. "Unlike those who buy lenses from an optician, you'll have to pay for this, but the saving from the lenses still substantially outweighs the extra costs."
In a few cases, it may be possible to get some limited help with the cost of aftercare. Sainsbury's Online, for example, offers a 20 per cent aftercare discount that can be redeemed at branches of the opticians Dollond & Aitchison.
One money-saving suggestion that appears on internet-based bulletin boards is that, while monthly lenses are significantly more expensive than daily disposables, they're actually made from the same material. In which case, why pay extra for monthly lenses when you could simply reuse your dailies?
A spokesman for the British Contact Lens Association is adamant that this is not a good idea. "Daily disposables tend to be thinner, as breaking them on removal is not a problem," he says. "To re-wear contacts, it is essential to clean and disinfect them - dailies are not designed for this, which could lead to possibly serious eye infections."
An expert consulted earlier this year by Which?, the consumer group, said that in most cases, he could find no difference between daily and monthly lenses. Even so - and despite the savings that are on offer if you reuse dailies - Which? stops short of advising people to do so.
However, even leaving aside this tactic, it is still possible to make big savings on contact lenses. In its most recent survey, Moneysavingexpert.com identified Directsight, OKVision and Asda Online as the cheapest suppliers of standard daily disposable lenses - all of them charge less than £200 for a year's supply, compared to about £500 from the typical optician in your local high street.
Other sites worth checking include Getlenses, Contactforlenses, Sainsbury's Online, Postoptics, Secondsight and Vision Direct.
Finally, you should also check prices on Lensplanet and Tesco Online if you want monthly disposable lenses, as these sites scored highly in this category of the survey.
Is surgery an option?
Laser eye surgery is one way permanently to solve the problem of ongoing opticians' bills. Roughly speaking, the cheapest daily disposable contact lenses will cost you about £200 a year. The cheapest laser eye surgery, assuming that you need your vision corrected in both eyes, will cost from about £800, so the procedure is likely to pay for itself within four or five years.
However, while it pays to shop around for surgery, do your research carefully. The Eyecare Trust, a charity set up to promote better eyecare, has a good section on its website ( www.eye-care.org.uk; 0845 129 5001) that provides you with a round-up of all the techniques on offer, as well as their pros and cons. While the vast majority of laser eye surgery is successful, there are risks to the procedure, which should be properly explained.
Once you feel equipped to make some decisions about surgery, look for a decent deal. The Eyecare Trust includes a list of providers on its site, many of which run special offers from time to time, so it is worth registering your details with several of them so that you receive details of all their prices.
Most people have one eye corrected at a time. But you should get a discount if you sign up to have both eyes treated, even if you end up having two separate operations.
It's worth talking to your GP before coming to a final decision about whether and how to proceed - he may be able to point out any additional medical issues that you have not considered.
In the absence of specific regulation of laser eye surgery (several consumer groups are now campaigning for this) tread carefully. Before committing to a deal, check the qualifications of the surgeon who will perform the procedure.
"There are no specific qualifications in refractive surgery, and the only legal requirement for doctors performing laser eye surgery is that they are registered with the General Medical Council," explains a spokesman for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. As a guide to patients looking for a doctor, he adds: "We recommend that refractive surgeons should be fully trained ophthalmologists and should have undergone additional specialist training in refractive surgery."
Who gets free eyecare?
Not everyone has to meet the full cost of eye tests, glasses or contact lenses; certain groups are entitled to claim NHS vouchers, which entitle you to money off tests and equipment.
Everyone below the age of 16 or over the age of 60 is entitled to free eye tests, as are diabetics and those suffering from glaucoma. Most benefits claimants are entitled to free tests.
Many of these people will also be entitled to help with the cost of glasses or contact lenses. Broadly speaking, you may claim NHS optical vouchers if you're under the age of 16 (or 19 if still in full-time education) or if you're claiming benefits such as income support, jobseeker's allowance or the pension credit. Those with particularly serious eye problems are also able to claim the vouchers, as is anyone with a valid "HC2" certificate - this category includes pregnant women, for example.
Your GP or optician should be able to provide you with the forms needed to claim the vouchers, or call the Department of Health on 08700 102 870.
Many of the discount websites accept NHS vouchers, so paying this way does not mean you have to use a more expensive high-street optician.
Finally, one other way to get free eyecare - or at least heavily discounted prices - is to subscribe to a health cash plan. For a small monthly payment, these insurance contracts allow you to reclaim much of the cost of regular health treatment such as opticians' and dentists' fees.
The best known healthcare cash plan providers include HSA, Forester, Medicash and Healthsure.

We enjoyed the low key and friendly vibe and the close proximity to marine life. We were able to observe seals, large sea lions, a sea otter, a magnificent orca and many species of water fowl up close and personal from the shores of Cape Mudge.
As our stay coincided with the closing up of the lodge for the winter, we understood but were still disappointed that many of the seafood specialities were not available as the operation was winding down. However the seafood that was available was marvellous and as excellent as you can find in any urban white tablecloth restaurant.

I wish they had some herbal tea in the rooms and a better quality of black tea than "Red Rose". A small teapot would have been nice too.
|Oct 12, 2014 Elizabeth British Columbia, Canada
The location had beautiful views, and the heritage hike path was nice.
Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing but very expensive.We only ate there the first night because the chowder and salmon were tasteless.The restaurant either needs a new chef or they need to cut the prices in half. We appreciated getting the room with the attached sitting room, but the screens in the room were torn and there were pretzels on the carpet under the edge of the couch,easily seen from across the room.Overall, the place is tired and in need of an overhaul,though the grand hall is nice and getting free internet there was a plus.The staff were friendly except for Helen who never seemed to smile or be at all welcoming.We tried to look for the petroglyphs but after looking at virtually every large rock at low tide gave up.Very tough walking from rock to rock looking.Perhaps they could indicate in their literature where exactly to look,if they are even still visible,which I suspect they are not.I only indicated good value for the money because of the TravelZoo price.

I always wanted to stay in a room with a Jacuzzi, and my husband made it come true. Staying at the Hideaway Inn was more than just a room with a Jacuzzi. The beautiful decorated room with a peaceful outlook, plus friendly service of Hideaway staff made our honeymoon very memorable. We never thought there could be a gorgeous cottage like this in the middle of all the corn fields, but now we know. We will recommend Hideaway Inn to all our friends. Thank you so much for everything!!! Alyona - Columbus,Ohio " "

Native ready to lead home defence
Thursday 21 October 2010
The final opportunity this season in this country for a two-year-old to present his claims as a wonder horse comes at Doncaster on Saturday. Or, if not wonder horse – for the Dewhurst Stakes winner Frankel already seems to have annexed that popular title – then maybe, with less fanfare, a champion. The Racing Post Trophy has as good a record in unearthing elite performers as the Newmarket race, and a better recent hand of Derby winners in recent years, trumping the Dewhurst's New Approach and Sir Percy with Authorized, Motivator and High Chaparral.
Irish stables are perceived as most likely to take the Group One prize this time, with Casamento from Michael Halford's, Dunboyne Express from Kevin Prendergast's and Seville from Aidan O'Brien's the first three in the betting. The home defence is led by the Ed Dunlop-trained Native Khan, who sidestepped the showdown with Frankel at his local track five days ago in favour of the test over the demanding straight mile on Town Moor.
Yesterday, on a bright, chilly Newmarket morning, the striking grey son of Azamour warmed up for his most challenging assignment yet with a getting-to-know-you session under his new big-race rider Paul Hanagan. And the jockeys' title leader liked what he felt as his mount strode five lengths clear of his lead horse in a six-and-a-half furlong spin. "He's going to have to be good to win on Saturday," Hanagan said, "because it looks a tough race. But he's already shown in public he's got ability, and this morning went very well indeed. He's a very nice horse."
The latest of Native Khan's two wins came in the seven-furlong Solario Stakes at Sandown, when he was ridden by the currently injured Eddie Ahern. "Native Khan can be lazy and takes some knowing, but he and Paul seemed to hit it off straight away," said Dunlop. We may or may not have made the right decision in swerving the Newmarket race," said Dunlop, "particularly after two of the so-called big three [Dream Ahead and Saamidd] failed to fire. But in the end we look like getting better ground at Doncaster. Native Khan is a good-actioned individual and will appreciate it if the going continues to dry out. The race might not look so tough as the Dewhurst, but it is still competitive and those Irish horses have solid credentials. As does Titus Mills."
The last-named may well strike a note of caution with Dunlop, for Kieren Fallon, who rode Native Khan on his debut, has opted instead for Brian Meehan's charge, likewise unbeaten in two.
Casamento, one of the first batch of juveniles sent to Halford by Sheikh Mohammed, won the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh last time out, as did last year's Racing Post Trophy winner St Nicholas Abbey. The Shamardal colt, on whom Frankie Dettori will sport the sheikh's original maroon-and-white silks, will fly in from Co Kildare this evening. "He'll have a canter in the morning," said Halford yesterday. "All is well and the straight course at Doncaster is very like the Curragh."
Casamento and Seville, a Galileo colt who won at Tipperary this month, are prominent in the early Derby betting. At Navan yesterday O'Brien introduced another of his Epsom likely lads as the Montjeu colt Recital powered past the race-fit Giants Serapis to make it seven in a row for a Ballydoyle inmate in the contest taken two years ago by Fame And Glory. "It rode a good race," said rider Johnny Murtagh. "He's a big, green horse but he has plenty of class and you could well see him show it in the first week of June next year."
Turf account
Sue Montgomery's Nap
Modun (8.10 Kempton) Any concerns about his handicap entry mark after a narrow defeat of very moderate opposition on his debut are offset by likely improvement to come. He won despite greenness and, as a half-brother to Patkai, is a stayer in the making and will relish the step up to 12 furlongs.
Next best
Catbells (4.40 Brighton) Came well clear of the third when just pipped over course and distance a week ago and, racing off the same mark, can score at her 16th attempt.
One to watch
Ottoman Empire (D R Lanigan) Lost little in defeat against a handicap snip last week at Newmarket, where the undulations did not seem to suit, and can progress back on all-weather tracks.
Where the money's going
Americain has been slashed from 25-1 to 10-1 for the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday week after yesterday's victory in his warm-up, the Geelong Cup, under the highest weight for 44 years.

Former Taranaki real estate agent Mark Charles Ferguson has been found guilty on several charges by the industry's independent watchdog.
The Real Estate Agents Authority's boss said yesterday the tribunal's decision demonstrated that the authority was doing what it was set up to do.
"This is another decision that shows that the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 is achieving its objective of protecting consumers," chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith said. "Real estate agents who fall short of the standards required by the act and the Code of Conduct are being held to account."
Two years ago Ferguson worked for Ray White Real Estate in Inglewood, but later moved to Palmerston North to work for JVL Prestige.
Before then several people, mostly from Taranaki, complained about his dealings with them.
Ferguson was adjudged bankrupt last year in an action taken by a Lepperton couple after he did not pay them money owed to them in one of the tribunal's decisions.
The total charges found proven by the authority include:
Misconduct for "badmouthing" a property that had previously been listed with him to potential purchasers.
Not providing a written appraisal.
Failing to honour a promise made to a vendor in return for her listing with him.
Removing pages from a LIM report before providing it to a potential purchaser.
Publishing a purported client testimonial on the internet and in marketing material without the client's knowledge or consent.
Inviting parties to sign documents authorising the early release of funds without advising them of the consequences of doing this.
A tribunal spokeswoman said yesterday a penalty for the seven charges was yet to be decided.
"However, the tribunal has indicated that cancelling his licence would have been an appropriate penalty if Ferguson had not already surrendered it."
There were no further charges pending against Ferguson, she said.
Last year the High Court at Palmerston North granted the bankruptcy application brought by Lepperton couple Vince and Roslynn Goodall against Ferguson over a $12,600 debt outstanding for two years. Ferguson was ordered by the Real Estate Agents Authority to pay the couple the money after he was found guilty of requesting the early release of deposits in relation to property deals in October 2010.
After publicity surrounding the unpaid debt, Ferguson's employment at JVL ended.
Ferguson did not appear at the tribunal's hearing and the Taranaki Daily News could not contact him for comment yesterday.

Williams apologised to drivers
Sutton Images Enlarge Williams has apologised to its drivers for the misunderstanding regarding team orders at the Malaysian Grand Prix and insists there are no hard feelings in the team. Felipe Massa was asked to move aside for Valtteri Bottas last weekend, but refused to follow the orders from the pit wall, saying they were "not correct". On Thursday in Bahrain he stood by his position and deputy team principal Claire Williams said her team had apologised to both drivers. "We didn't handle the situation for either of our drivers particularly well, so of course we've apologised to our drivers," she said. It was only the right thing to do at the end of the day....

Man steals $19K worth of Girl Scout cookies
Updated On: Mar 08 2013 11:07:29 AM EST
A South Carolina man has been charged with taking about $19,000 in Girl Scout cookies from a warehouse.
37-year-old Christopher Maurice Morton from Spartanburg is accused of swiping the cookies, reports The Associated Press. He was a truck driver for the business but has since been fired.
The owner of Carey Moving and Storage reported more than 450 cases of Girl Scout cookies were taken from its facilities Feb. 26.
Brian Carey said cookies began arriving at the warehouse Feb. 15, and employees doing an inventory last week realized that cases of Thin Mints and Shortbreads were missing.
Morton is charged with breach of trust more than $10,000.

Catching a performance of the stand-out theatre production The Lion King is just one of a number of great things to do in Sydney this winter.
Whether you're a tourist to the city or a local, here are a few ways to enjoy the cold months.
Face your fear of sharks by snorkelling with them at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour.
It's a great opportunity for tweens to learn more about sharks in a safe, controlled environment.
Groups of four snorkellers are protected in a see-through tank situated at the surface of a pool as reef sharks and tropical fish swim past.
The snorkel lasts for 20 minutes and children can be as young as five.
If you still haven't seen The Lion King at the theatre, then put it at the top of your winter to-do list. This musical is as brilliant as the critics say, from the booming voices of the actors to the stunning costumes and the flawless music.
The standout performance is by South African actress Buyi Zama, who plays Rafiki and has a voice to silence the audience.
The Lion King is on at Capitol Theatre in Haymarket, and is into its last shows, closing on August 31.
If you like to embrace the cold, make sure you head along to The Winter Festival at Darling Harbour.
This is a great event for families, with one of the highlights being the open-air ice-skating rink.
There is also an apres skate lounge and beer garden, where you can warm up with a hot choccy or mug of gluhwein (mulled wine), and you can feast on traditional winter cuisine at the festival village.
Kids will love the Thredbo Snow Slide (an 80-foot inflatable slide) and the giant Lindt Lindor Zorb Balls.
The festival starts on June 13 and runs until July 13.
Fans of the musical Strictly Ballroom will love the exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo.
The Strictly Ballroom Story celebrates both the stage and screen musical, and features plenty of bling.
Visitors will be able to get up close to the sequins, feathers and beads of the colourful costumes created by Catherine Martin, as well as design sketches and set photos.
The exhibition is on until November 9.
For accommodation close to the attractions, consider Quay West Suites Sydney. Although it can be noisy due to its location on Gloucester Street, it has fantastic views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. For more, go to accorhotels.com.

Theatrical costumes give Comrags duo a fresh challenge
Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish tackled clothing the actors for Chekhov's The Seagull.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
It's late on a Friday when I swing by the Comrags studio to find the two women behind the much-loved fashion label, Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish, still hard at work.
Not only is the clock ticking on the pair's fall collection, which they will show on the heels of Toronto fashion week in an atelier-style presentation, Gunhouse and Cornish have upped the ante this season by taking on something that they have never done before in three decades of collaboration: designing the costumes for a theatrical production.
Comrags' theatrical debut is nothing less than Chekhov's The Seagull, and of course it has to open this week just as every designer in town is putting their final touches on their fall lines.
"We hadn't really figured that part out when we signed on to do it," says Cornish. "I just happened to bump into Rena (Polley, the play's producer and wife of Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy) and when she mentioned the play, I asked her whether she would be interested in us doing the costumes, and of course she was into it."
"The funny thing was that it never really occurred to either of us that this was something we had never done before," says Gunhouse. "And back at Ryerson, where we met," adds Cornish, jumping in to finish Gunhouse's thought, "both of us had first assumed going into fashion that we would end up in wardrobe or costume design."
With Comrags, Gunhouse and Cornish have created, and dressed, essentially a character of their own making: a woman with a modern attitude toward style who's confident and self-aware enough to eschew the merely pretty or fashionable. Over the years, this character has honed her taste, and added to her wardrobe according to the seasons, but she's always been the same cool downtown gal — a gal quite a bit like Cornish and Gunhouse themselves. It's proved to be a winning formula that resonates with a diehard clientele: the designers now own the three-storey building on Dundas St. W. that houses both their studio and the newly relocated Comrags store (officially taking some of the coolness cred from Queen West along with them). This time around, however, the story isn't entirely theirs to write, as Chekhov already wrote it.
"Reading through the play, we had to develop our own sense of the characters," says Gunhouse, who quickly rejected the idea of approaching the play as a straight period piece. "We liked Masha," says Gunhouse, "We decided she would smoke and stay up late, even though it isn't in the play. She's sort of the coolest."
The designers sought to express young Nina's fall from a state of hopeful innocence into sad experience in a more conceptual way, through a gradual darkening of hues and stripping of adornment, starting with a sheer ribboned gown that, like its wearer, loses its gaiety and transparency. The housewifely disposition of the estate manager's wife is cleverly translated through the use of crochet doilies as applique. And as for the young, sad Konstantin, an unlined jacket was custom boiled and distressed, its threads pulled till it looked like an ancient heirloom. "We just know all the boyfriends who have been bugging us for years are going to want that jacket," laughs Gunhouse.
Sitting at each end of the same cutting table amid a pile of cardboard shapes (the duo still works the old-school way, from hard patterns, and manufacture right here in Canada), the designers pull out a carefully handwritten plot summary by character.
"Another thing we never usually have to consider is what people do in our clothes. We went to a few read-throughs and we were struck by how physical the actors are, and what a sense they already had about what their characters would wear," says Cornish, who carefully plotted each character's entrances and exits to determine whether the play could even accommodate an actor's change of dress.
Budgets were so tight the designers had to get inventive, trolling vintage shops, particularly for some of the men's tailored garments, which they then re-worked. An old cardigan of stylist Jimmy Morehouse's that was lying around the store ("it was the store sweater", says Gunhouse) ended up being re-cut into a knitted vest.
"Really, it's the opposite of how we usually work. But it is kind of nice just to buy two metres of fabric," says Gunhouse, adding, "OK, it's stressful but it's great." "Sure, we are a little bit behind," agrees Cornish. "But after 30 years we can do what we want. And sometimes you have to try something new to remind you why you ever started doing this in the first place."
The Seagull is at the Berkeley Street Theatre Upstairs from March 7 to 23, with performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets start at $36 and are available at
