Cheap Glasses Deals

If you go to online glasses retailer Low Cost Glasses*, you can get Calvin Klein specs for £35 delivered, when you enter the MSE Blagged code MSELCGCK35 at the checkout, until 4pm on Tue 31 Aug. Delivery's free on orders over £30, so there'll be no delivery charge to pay. 

We've checked a few online retailers and Calvin Klein glasses can range in price from £60, up to over £185 for newer styles, so this is a very good saving. Low Cost Glasses tells us the RRP is £160 – though we've not been able to find the exact frames sold elsewhere.

When you get to the checkout page, you can find the box to enter the code towards the top of the page under the heading, 'Have a coupon? Enter your code here'. 

The code only works on Calvin Klein glasses. 

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

• Choose the 'bronze' lens option to get the most basic, free lenses. 
• Select 'none' for the type of lens coatings to avoid additional costs.
• Thinner or UV protection lenses will cost £15-£64 extra. 

Important. Check you're using the cheapest code at the checkout

Low Cost Glasses often has other promotions running, which can be automatically applied at checkout. In case this happens, make sure you enter MSELCGCK35 at the checkout to override any other codes that could work out more expensive than ours.

If you go to online glasses retailer SpeckyFourEyes*, you can get a pair of Jai Kudo specs for £11 delivered (norm £69), when you enter the MSE Blagged code MSE11JK at the checkout, until 11.59pm on Sat 31 Jul. 

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

• To get them cheapest, pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage four of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £10-£126 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, click 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.
• You can either enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing.
• Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery for the cheapest delivery option (£4.99).

See 'More info' below for full T&Cs.

If you go online to glasses retailer Glasses Direct*, you can get a pair of varifocal lens glasses from £49. Simply enter the blagged code MSEVARIFOCAL at the checkout, until 11.59pm on Tue 31 Aug. Delivery's free.

The code gets you free 'Varifocal Advanced' lenses (norm £49) when you choose a pair of frames priced at £49 or above, plus free delivery. 

What's more, if you choose a pair of glasses in its 2for1 range, you'll get a second pair with basic lenses free (excluding Boutique). You'll only get the free varifocals on one pair. 

Here's what to do:

1. Find frames costing £49 or more. Glasses Direct has a range of frames priced from £49, and you can choose any (including Boutique frames) then click 'Select lenses'.

2. Choose 'Varifocal Advanced' lenses. You'll be given a list of five different lens options. Select 'Varifocal' and then 'Varifocal Advanced' (it says these cost £49, but once you've entered the code at checkout, this will be taken off). See 'more info' below for other lens options. 

Select 'clear' for transparent everyday glasses. If you don't want any extras, such as scratch-resistant coatings, you can avoid the extra costs by clicking on 'continue with basic lenses'.

2. Code gets £49 off, free second pair & free delivery. Once you've selected your lenses, you can either enter your prescription or opt to send it later. Then use the code MSEVARIFOCAL at the checkout by 11.59pm on Tue 31 Aug to get £49 off the varifocal lenses, a free second pair and free delivery. 

If you don't need varifocals, see our Cheap Glasses page for other glasses deals.

If you're a new customer to online glasses and contact lens retailer Vision Direct*, enter the MSE Blagged code MSE11 to get 11% off everything on site. Delivery's £2.98. It can't be used with other offers.

Vision Direct may not always be the cheapest retailer, even with the code, so make sure to always do your own price comparisons.

You can get a complete pair of varifocal glasses for £45 at Asda Opticians*. The price includes value frames, lenses, anti-reflective coating, tints and thinner lenses (if required).

We compared prices with a number of other opticians, and found that Asda Opticians was the cheapest for varifocal glasses. Always compare prices before you buy though, as you may find a good deal at your local opticians.

See below for the prices of a complete pair of varifocal glasses elsewhere:

• Vision Express from £50
• Glasses Direct from £68
• Specsavers from £69
