TRUSTED OPTICIANS IN DURHAM

Costspex Opticians Durham are an independent, family-run business established for over 20 years. We glaze most of our glasses on-site, enabling us to keep our prices affordable, without making concessions to design. Our prices start from as little as £30 for a complete pair of spring loaded glasses with single vision, hard coated lenses. We also offer designer glasses with a broad range of brands to choose from.

  • OUR OFFERS

    Our current offers include the ever-popular Buy One Get One Free ranges and Second Pair Discount ranges, perfect for those who like to have a spare pair of glasses on hand, just in case. That means two pairs of single vision spectacles from £60, two pairs of bifocal spectacles from £130 and two pairs of varifocal spectacles from £160. Having a second pair is something many of our customers find genuinely invaluable, whether that is a spare kept at home, a dedicated pair left at work, or a separate set for reading and distance. It also means that if your main pair is ever lost, broken or in for a repair, you are never left without glasses when you need them most. 

    Because we glaze most of our glasses on-site and are not tied to a single supplier, we are able to offer these deals at prices that genuinely represent outstanding value, without cutting corners on quality or choice. Whether you are after a classic everyday pair, a designer frame or a dedicated pair of prescription sunglasses, our offers are designed to make quality eyewear accessible to as many people as possible. Get in touch or call in to find out what is currently available and our team will be happy to help you find the right pair at the right price.

    TINTED LENSES AND MORE

    We offer tinting on any pair of glasses purchased from us for just £10 extra, making them prescription sunglasses ideal for everything from a glaring winter morning to the height of summer sun. It is a simple, affordable way to get a dedicated pair of prescription sunglasses without the cost of buying a separate pair from scratch, and with such a broad range of frames to choose from, you can find a style that works just as well in the sunshine as it does every day. We supply all types of lenses, from standard single vision all the way up to the latest types of varifocal technology, so whatever your prescription requires we are able to find the right solution for you.

    As an independent practice not tied to a single lens supplier, our team can source from a wide range of manufacturers and labs, which means genuine flexibility on lens type, quality and price. Whether you need a straightforward single vision pair, bifocals, varifocals, or something with a little extra such as anti-reflection or photochromic lenses, we will take the time to understand your needs and find the best option for your lifestyle and your budget. Get in touch today or call in to find out more about our full range of lenses and tinting options.

    OUR OFFERS

    If your eye test is due, give us a call to arrange an appointment today. Alternatively, if your prescription is current and in date, you are welcome to bring a copy straight in and take advantage of our prices right away. We carry out NHS eye tests for those who qualify, and we also accept NHS optical vouchers, so accessing quality eye care at Costspex does not have to cost a thing. Our experienced and highly qualified team uses a range of advanced diagnostic equipment to carry out a comprehensive examination, so you can feel confident your eyes are being looked after properly from start to finish. 

    Even if you are not due a test, it is always worth keeping an eye on when your prescription was last updated, as an out-of-date prescription can cause unnecessary headaches, eye strain and fatigue. Regular eye tests also allow us to monitor the health of your eyes over time and pick up early signs of conditions that might otherwise go undetected. Whether you are coming in for a routine check or have a specific concern, our team will take the time to listen and give you clear, honest advice with no pressure and no hard sell. You can check the NHS criteria to find out whether you qualify for a free eye test or optical voucher before your appointment.
