Best4Glasses has welcomed the findings of the BBC1 programme: ‘Rip off Britain. The programme exposed the ‘rip-off’ prices on prescription glasses in high street opticians and highlighted the savings to be made by purchasing glasses online.
In particular the programme, hosted by Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Jennie Bond exposed the myth that customers have to buy glasses from the opticians that carried out their eye test.
Best4Glasses MD Trevor Homer commented: “Two thirds of people in the UK, according to the programme, either genuinely don’t know their consumer rights or feel embarrassed to take the prescription elsewhere or buy online.
“It is a very British thing to do, akin to staying with the same bank that gives you poor service or tipping in a restaurant where the food was cold and the staff were rude,” he concluded.
