hi my son is dyspraxic we have been going to a private specialist optician to get his glasses for 17 years.
we buy frames and lens and the lens are tinted to help him concentrate when reading.
unfortunately he has lost his glasses and we need to buy new ones.
i’ve spoken to spec savers and they say they can tint them does any one know any thing about the tinting just in case there’s a bit more to it.
i just need to cut the cost down at this moment in time
any help would be great

Specsavers are a high street retailer and should have the people and equipment necessary to do this to a professional standard.
Tinted lens are more associated with Irlens Syndrome, which is more often lumped in with Dyslexia than Dyspraxia. That said, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia often occur together.

Hey, I totally get how stressful losing glasses can be, especially after so many years of working with a specialist. I’ve used Specsavers for my own glasses before, and their tinting options seem solid. They usually have a variety of tints that might help with concentration, so it could be worth asking if they can match what your son had before. Plus, since you’re looking to cut costs, it might save you some money.
