After the test, you get to do the fun part: trying on glasses. And Vision Express on Fargate has a lot of frames. I’m talking rails and rails of them. It’s like a library for your face, except instead of books, it’s metal and plastic.

You’ll see everything: chunky tortoiseshell, slick wire rims, and those bold, “I’m an art director” black squares. I tried on a pair that made me look like a confused librarian. Then another that screamed “tech startup CEO.” My ego couldn’t handle it.
The staff don’t judge. They just nod and say, “That suits your face shape,” even when you look like a startled owl. Bless them.
Budget Talk: It’s Not All Monocles and Sapphire
Let’s be real—glasses can cost more than a weekend in London. But Vision Express is surprisingly transparent. They’ll show you the price tags, no hidden “anti-glare surcharge” drama. You can grab a pair for under £50 if you’re frugal, or drop serious cash on designer frames if you’re feeling fancy.
They also do this thing where they’ll tell you, “Actually, you can get the same lenses for less with this brand.” Yes, an optician saving you money. I nearly hugged the guy. My wallet hugged him instead, metaphorically.
