Protect Your Spectacles



I went into the Hatch End opticians to fix my glasses. While there I bought a red spectaclses glasses cover, brand icons the case. I paid ten pounds.

Afterwards I looked on line. The manufacturer will send it at six pounds 35 and free postage if I want another. but I am also interested in a case with a carry strap.

Come back for more information, analysis, opinions and recommendations later.
