Needing new glasses

[GeorgeStorm]

Hi all,
Due to unfortunately kind of sitting on my glasses I'm after a new pair (they didn't break but they're not quite right, and I got an eye test to check my prescription and it has actually changed a touch so maybe not a bad thing) and I'm wondering on where to get them from.
Current pair were from glasses direct which I've been happy with, and looks like I could get a couple of pairs for pretty cheap (£40-70) as I'm not really fussed by designer brands and so were a much better option than specsavers/boots etc, however I was recommended to check out iolla this time as something a bit different/possibly higher quality, which seems to be a single pair for £85 which is obviously more, but wondered if it's worth it?
Have people had experience going for a more independent/nicer brand vs cheaper online?
My vision isn't crazy (-2.50/-2.75) without any other issues so not needing anything specialist.

Cheers

My current pair is from my local independent opticians and a backup pair from Specsavers. Both have been fine, but my current pair from my local independent opticians feels higher quality than the Specsavers one.

I've never bought glasses from Iolla, but I've heard good things about them. If you've got an Iolla branch near you, I'd say pop down and try out some frames.

Just get some that are comfortable to wear and fit your face. If that's Glasses Direct, then fine. Generally speaking I would not pay for premium brands for glasses as really they are overpriced and essentially the same as the cheap ones.
