As the owner and ultimately one of the staff here at ciliaryblue, I have been moved beyond measure by the coverage on TV tonight of all those who have sacrificed and or donated money, time and their efforts to raise money for those who need it more. In an effort to demonstrate this we will donated 50% of today’s takings via our website to the appeal.

The numbers of reglazed varifocals has increased dramatically. The public are now more aware that the price the High Street charge for varifocals is NOT the price you have to pay. We charge often as less than 1/2 that of the high Street, saving in many cases over £100! We can put varifocals into existing frames or new ones, just ring on 0845 6262008 and speak to our advisors, they will give you all the advice and help you need to make the process as easy as possible for you.

Varifocals with ciliaryblue….

Why not purchase Christmas Gift Vouchers from us, for any value/denomination for someone who might ust want to have their glasses reglazed. A thoughtful present that will save them money, hassle and time. Ring us for details on  0845 6262008 .

We have made some changes to the website, we now offer Special Delivery post, this provides next working day delivery and also has a higher insurance cover with the Royal Mail, upto £500. We have many customers sending expensive frames and they wanted the extra cover. This will cost £10 extra but is well worth it.

Varifocal orders are increasing massively, as people are realising that it is safe and much cheaper to have the lenses replaced with us. Often saving £100′s of pounds per transaction while getting the same quality product.

Thanks to cagedfish for their continued support and help with all of the changes.

We have been reglazing (putting new lenses in to your own frames) bifocals and varifocals now for some time, because of the complexity of these lenses they cannot be ordered on the website, only on the phone. So here is a more comprehensive list of some of the lenses and the prices, all the prices are for the pair. If you require any more information email us at info@ciliaryblue.com or ring on 0845 6262008. Remember theses prices are often less than ½ that of the high street.

£30    Standard bifocal uncoated (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

£35    Standard bifocal with anti-scratch and full UV protection (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

£45    Standard bifocal with anti-scratch/glare and UV protection (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

£80    Bifocal Reactions with anti-scratch (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

£95    Bifocal Reactions with anti-scratch/glare  (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

£105  Thin (1.60 index) bifocal with anti-scratch/glare (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

£120  Super Thin (1.67 index) bifocal with anti-scratch/glare (‘D’ shaped reading segment)

There are many other type available so please ring or email for more information.

For any of you interested, the rectangular rimless glasses worn by Sarah Palin, the running mate in the US presidential election of the Republican candidate John McCain, are made by the designer Kazuo Kawasaki and are distributed by Italee Optics and I think, Home Optics. They are expensive though, costing $375, but are made from Titanium. If you chose to buy them we will happily glaze them for you. The links are below,

Most of the Optical chains have offered a 241 deal over the last few years, in some form or other. Many of you who chose a second ‘free’ frame never use it at all and leave it tucked away in a draw somewhere. If you go back for another test you will be encouraged to purchase again and have another 241! Why not have one of those 241 frames reglazed at a fraction of the cost, with the lenses of your choice? A great way to save money, beat the system and stop wastage! Try it, try us and you will be shocked at just how easy it is!

A valued member of our team had a baby recently it all started while she was at work!!!  Everyone at ciliaryblue would like to send their wishes on her new arrival! Just hoping you can return soon to work?
