How much for glasses?

I have recently had to buy an emergency pair of specs from the high street. Now I last got some about 3 years ago and I knew they were expensive. I went to get a fully specced pair today and they are now unbelievable money!

High street average 1.67 lenses + UV & antiglare + photo chromic with mid range glasses >£300

Same thing from this website I found, glasses direct..... £180.

So I settled for a bog standard cheapo pair until I get an updated prescription. Has anyone else got some good online glasses shops they've used? The glasses direct is UK based, I think I remember someone getting some sent from India or Pakistan?
