Recently I got some funky new glasses from Osiris. They are very different from the glasses I usually wear. They are big for a start: a bold fashion statement. I am wearing them in the photo below so decide for yourself.

They are from Osiris, which are designed by fashion designer, Jorgen Simonsen, I saw him briefly at London Fashion Week. I was then invited by Specsavers to visit their Tottenham Court Road branch and pick a pair of his amazing glasses for myself. There was a lot of girly advice on hand and I got another eye test despite having one last year. Not much had changed thankfully.

It took me a while to choose which glasses I wanted, I had three in my hand at one point. I decided to go for the heavy black ones as I think they suited me the most and they were very different from the usual Missoni glasses I usually wear. I was also assured by the lovely ladies at Specsavers that they really suited me.

The service was excellent, as I expected: they knew I was a writer reviewing the glasses and experience. My one complaint is that I usually pay to get one lens thinned down, and this time I was charged for both lenses, which wasn’t needed and ended up costing me over £30 as it went over the price of the free glasses. I also think they charge too much to thin down lenses, a long running pet peeves with Specsavers, or that they should at least give a discount for two lenses.

My glasses weren’t ready immediately but when I went to get them they fitted them on me and away I went, happy with my new glasses.
