  • £22 for prescription specs AND sunglasses

    £22 for prescription specs AND sunglasses*

    Or £17 for two pairs of specs, or £27 for two sunglasses
    Code ends Mon 3 June

    You can get a pair of prescription glasses and a pair of prescription sunglasses for £22 delivered, when you use our MSE Blagged code MSE17SUN on top of two existing Glasses Direct* offers, by 11.59pm on Mon 3 June.

    The code works by giving you two pairs of glasses for £17, so if you just want basic lenses you can get that deal. But the code also gives an optional 50% off tinted lenses (£5 instead of £10) – meaning you could get a pair of specs and a pair of sunnies for £22 all-in, or go for tinted lenses on both and get two pairs of sunnies for £27.

    Here's what to do:

    1. 2for1 on prescription glasses £49 or over. Glasses Direct has a range of frames priced from £49, which are currently on a 2for1 offer*, so you get the cheapest free. Once you pick your frames (excluding Boutique), you'll be asked to choose your lens package.

    If you don't want any extras such as scratch-resistant coatings, and don't want sunglasses, you can avoid the extra costs by clicking on 'continue with basic lenses' – you'll see this underneath the 'Bronze' to 'Platinum' options.

    If you do want one or two pairs of sunglasses, when it comes to picking your lens type, you'll need to select 'sunglasses' and then 'dark tints'. It may say that it costs £10 extra for sunglasses lenses, but this will be reduced to £5 once you've entered the code at checkout.

    2. Code gets £32 off, 50% off tinted lenses & free delivery. After adding the second pair to your basket, you can either enter your prescription or opt to send it later. Use the code MSE17SUN at the checkout by 11.59pm on Mon 3 June to get an extra £32 off ANY glasses where individual frames cost £49 or more (before the 2for1 discount), 50% off sunglasses dark tints, and free delivery.

    Combining these offers could get you two pairs of glasses for just £17, or a pair of glasses and sunglasses for £22, or two pairs of sunglasses for £27, plus free delivery. What's more, the second pair doesn't have to be the same prescription as the first, so you could get one for yourself and one for someone else.

    This deal won't work on very strong prescriptions – see 'More info' below.

    Have a look at our cheap glasses page for other deals. It also might be worth checking if you qualify for free glasses using NHS vouchers.

    MSE Laura says:

    A particularly good feature of this deal is that if you're unsure about the style of glasses you'd like or if you're wondering if a certain pair would suit you, Glasses Direct have a 'Home Trial' service where they'll send you some frames to try out before you buy.  See 'More info' below for full details. 

    • More info

      Single vision lenses are free with all orders. Other lenses and lens packages can be added at an additional cost.

      It's not valid when you spend £49 or more on several cheaper frames. Delivery is free with the code (normally £3.95).

      If you copy and paste the code, make sure there are no spaces either side of it as this can prevent it from working. If you're still having difficulty, try clearing your cookies and starting again.

      If you need bifocal lenses you'll have to pay an extra £39, and it's an extra £49 for varifocals.

      This deal won't work on very strong prescriptions

      Orders for very strong prescriptions are excluded, such as when the combined SPH and CYL is greater than +/-8.00, when the CYL is over +/-4.00, if there is more than a 5.00D difference between each eye or if the prism correction is over 4.00 in any direction.

      Free 'Home Trial'

      Glasses Direct offers a free 'Home Trial' service, where you can choose some frames to be sent to you, so that you can try them on at home and see if you like them. It's told us that as long as you order a Home Trial from your account before the code expires, Glasses Direct will honour the code up to a week after it expires.

      You don't need to buy the same frames that you tried, but if the code's expired you'll need to call Glasses Direct on 01793 746601 to place the order.

    New glasses can be expensive, but there are ways to save money at online glasses retailer Glasses Direct*, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.

    Ways to save include:

    • Get two pairs for the price of one. Select the 2for1 from £49* option from the drop down boxes at the top of the home page, and you could get two pairs of glasses with basic lenses for £49. Delivery's £3.49.
       
    • Sign up for the newsletter. Sign up for the Glasses Direct newsletter to receive information about current promotions. Glasses Direct doesn't have any physical stores making its overheads far lower than its high street competitors, so it's worth keeping an eye out (sorry) for the newsletter and on its website to check for offers. 
       
    • Change browsers or use 'incognito' mode. Sometimes Glasses Direct might give you different offers based on what you've previously browsed - so if an offer you wanted has disappeared, try clearing your cookies, using another browser or enabling the do not track 'incognito' mode on your browser.

    • Check out similar retailers, eg, Specsavers, Optical Express and SpeckyFourEyes. If you're not committed to buying from Glasses Direct, check out our deals from Specsavers, Optical Express and SpeckyFourEyes, where there may be a better offer.

    You can get two pairs of glasses for £16 delivered if you use our MSE Blagged code MSE16MARCH on top of two existing Glasses Direct* offers, before 11.59pm on Mon 18 Mar.

    Here's what to do:

    1. 2for1 on prescription glasses £49 or over. Glasses Direct has a range of frames priced from £49, which are currently on a 2for1 offer*, so you get the cheapest free.

    MSE Laura says:

    While we previously ran a two for £15 offer, this is currently the strongest Glasses Direct deal available - beating it's 2 for £19 offer which you may have seen advertised. However I think that two pairs of prescriptions specs for £16 delivered is still a cracking deal. 

    A particularly good feature is that if you're unsure about the style of glasses you'd like or if you're wondering if a certain pair would suit you, Glasses Direct have a 'Home Trial' service where they'll send you some frames to try out before you buy.  See 'More info' below for full details.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? Ask:

  • Will I use it?
  • Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!


There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
