Cheap Glasses Deals

You can get two pairs of designer branded glasses from £25 if you use our MSE Blagged code MSEJUNE on top of an existing Glasses Direct* offer. The code also gets free delivery and 40% off silver, gold and platinum lens packages and is valid until 11.59pm on Thursday 30 June. Here's how to get the offer...

1. Select two pairs of designer glasses from the 2for1 on designer frames offer. Glasses Direct has a range of designer frames from brands such as Scout, Polaroid, Levi's and DKNY. They're priced from £69, and are currently on a 2for1 offer, meaning you get the cheapest free.

Once you pick your frames, you'll be asked to choose your lenses, some of which, such as bifocals and varifocals, will have an extra cost.

You can then choose 'extras' for your lenses, such as scratch-resistant coatings – the code also gets you 40% off the silver, gold and platinum packages. Though here you can avoid any extra costs by clicking on 'continue with basic lenses'. You'll then be asked if you want to enter your prescription (you can also opt to send it later if you prefer).

Once you've got the first pair of glasses in your basket, repeat the process again for the second pair. This doesn't have to be the same prescription as the first, so you could get one for yourself and one for someone else. Though this deal won't work on very strong prescriptions – see full details below.

2. Use the MSE Blagged code to get £44 off & free delivery. After adding the second pair to your basket, use the code MSEJUNE at checkout by 11.59pm on Thursday 30 June to get £44 off ANY glasses where the frames cost £69+ (before 2for1 discount), and free delivery. In many cases, the code will already be applied, and the discount taken off your final purchase price.

Different designers' frames are priced differently – when we looked on Monday 20 June you could get the following offers:

• Two pairs for £25 (£69 each before the code) – Scout, Aspire
• Two pairs for £45 (£89 each before the code) – London Retro, Harrington, Perri Kiely x LR
• Two pairs for £55 (£99 each before the code) – Polaroid, Joules, MCQ, Puma, Levi's, Ben Sherman, Waterhaul, Mini, DKNY, Pepe Jeans, Le Coq Sportif, Cat, Tommy Jeans, Lipsy London, Champion
• Two pairs for £75 (£119 each before the code) – Finelight

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 Sunday 31 July. 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 Sunday 31 July 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 contact lens retailer Vision Direct*, enter the MSE Blagged code MSE11 to get 11% off everything on site. Delivery's £3.98. 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
