Glasses Insurance. Any Advice Please?

I'm sorry I have no idea. Mr T and I both wear glasses and they cost about the same as Mrs Chimp's but we never insure them.

Sorry I have no idea how to insure them as I never gotten them insured but my other half used to pay that amount for his glasses from our local optician, but we have since found that Asda do two pairs of glasses for about £160 and they have designer frames too. And prescription sunglasses so we now just purchase from them now

You can insure glasses !? The first I'm hearing but now am Curious too mine cost around £150 -£200 a pair it's alot of money for so.ething that's needed

Are they not included in house content insurance?

If you buy from an opticians like specsavers you usually get a at least a years warranty , two with them

I don't know if this includes damage such as standing or sitting on them though , i doubt it

They also normally do an extended warranty if you want pay for extra years , but if your prescription changes so might your glasses

Here's the conditions off their website

All our glasses and sunglasses come with free servicing for 2 years following purchase of your glasses. Including minor repairs at no extra cost whether purchased in store, online or during a home visit.

Minor repairs includes replacing nose pads, adjusting your frames, tightening loose screws, or simply giving your glasses a thorough clean. There’s no limit to the number of times this service can be used. Simply pop into your local store or call the number that has been given to you at your home visit and ask for free servicing for your glasses or sunglasses*.

I’ve stopped buying expensive glasses after misplacing a couple of pairs. I buy mine online now and have saved so much including transition lenses.

This is a total guess, but if you have house and contents insurance could you phone and see if they are covered? I am sure things like laptops are even when outside of home.

It seems everyone pays a lot for glasses but last month I got 2 for 1 at Specsavers and only paid £90.

Is it even possible, I've never heard or had insurance for my glasses , not something I've really thought about

You can get insurance for them from the optician that you bought them from. Or you can insure them under your home insurance but they need to be listed separately.

I’d maybe ask your optician for advice. It’s something I’ve never thought bout but think it’s worth thinking about especially with price of glasses these days. I’ve never heard of them being insured under contents insurance but think next time I change my glasses I’m going to ask my optician bout insurance cos glasses are so expensive and after having cataract surgery on both eyes (before I was 40) I wear varifocals and they’re pretty expensive never mind price of the frames

They should be covered under house insurance, but if you claim it'll put your fee up, so probably better just sucking up the cost.

Mine are usually 400+ but I’ve never insured them - didn’t think it was a thing but I guess it makes sense

Thank you all for your replies. I will look.imto.tbe different options available.
