  Either from coastal.com or clearlycontacts.com.au depending on which is cheaper in the end.
  Always make sure to look for coupons before ordering and also make sure to use starthere.com.au if you're ordering from Clearly Contacts.

  Don't think health insurance will accept rebates from them by the way.

  Goggles4u are great, cheap as hell and the quality is always top-notch. Plenty of lense options and there are plenty of specials at certain times of the year which they advise you of and send to your email.

    Their re-lens service is only available for US and Canada though. A reshipper might still be a cost effective alternative to spec savers though?

    No, but I've used both of these in the past and rate them highly

    http://www.glassesdirect.co.uk/ (some good chunky acetates)
    http://www.irisoptical.co.uk/ (cheap designer)

    Not sure on shipping policies, I normally get a mate to send them over to me. Sure there's cheaper out there but I've used these for years and never had a problem with them.

    EDIT: Just realised your not after frames, just a reglaze - feel free to disregard my completely irrelevant info!!
    (or keep it until you want new frames…).

  I haven't actually bought anything yet but Frames Direct optican got back to me very quickly with a question I had. Haven't price checked them yet but a pair of Tom Fords with transion lenses priced out at around $500. Last time I bought glasses it cost me $800 so sounding good so far.

  If you can find frames the same shape and size amongst the reasonably priced ones at Specsavers, OP, it might be worth asking that if you pay for them, will they fit the lenses to your old frames. I know they're dearer to get just lenses than for the complete glasses.

  Found a place in Hornsby that's been in business since 1979 which claim to use Korean lenses and cut and produce on site for about $250 for prescription lenses and $200 for sunglasses. Not sure how their quality compares to Elissor Visionmax lenses at OPSM

  Having lost sunglasses in Europe, I am now in the market for sunglasses, and my wife likes how the Emporio Armani's suit my face, and I have tried to find the best price for them, which seems to be from Vision Direct, if anyone knows how to get the genuine article even cheaper I would be very appreciative.
