High street optician giant Specsavers has sent shockwaves through the retail sector by launching an unprecedented clearance sale, with glasses now available from just £70.
The eyewear specialist, known for its "Should've gone to Specsavers" advertising campaign, is offering these rock-bottom prices as part of a major stock clearance. The deal includes both prescription glasses and sunglasses, making it perfect for those needing vision correction or simply wanting to update their summer style.
What's Included in the Sale?
The £70 package includes:
- Single vision lenses
- Standard scratch-resistant coating
- Choice from selected frames
For those needing more complex prescriptions, varifocal and bifocal options are available at slightly higher prices, though still significantly discounted from normal rates.
Why Now?
Industry insiders suggest this aggressive pricing strategy comes as Specsavers prepares to launch new autumn ranges. The company is known for running periodic sales, but discounts of this magnitude are rare.
"This is one of their best offers in years," commented retail analyst Emma Clarkson. "With back-to-school season approaching and many people putting off eye tests during the pandemic, the timing is perfect."
How Long Will It Last?
While Specsavers hasn't specified an end date for the promotion, past sales suggest it will likely run for 2-3 weeks or until stock runs out. Early birds are already reporting queues at some branches.
The deal is available both in-store and online, though some customers report finding better frame selections by visiting physical locations.
