So it turns out I need a pair of jam jars (Glasses) for using a computer and reading.
This kind of explains why I keep getting headaches at work all the time :)

So who else has to ware them and where is the best place to get some from?

Prob going to be looking for a deal like buy one get one free.
Also anyone done this deal and are the lenses in the second pair free or is it just the frames?

I use vision express, generally get two pairs for about £120 one decent pair and a cheap pair as backup. I have to wear glasses all the time though.

I'm supposed to wear them for driving - apparently i'd pass the legal requirement without them, but it really makes a difference even so, especially at night..

I went to specsavers and they did buy one get on free on frames and lenses :)

You can't go wrong with Specsavers. I've got a nice little pair of Timberland frames I picked up for reading and on the interweb etc.

:cool:

Well I decided to go for the ones on page one and another pair with tinted lenses for driving when its sunny.

For two pair's and one with tinted lenses its costing me £137 which I thought was not that bad :D
