Default Do old -style opticians cut lenses on premises [OT]

Regarding the UK ...

Do the old style optician shops (one-man-&-receptionist who test eyes
and dispense specs) usually cut the lens to fit the frame actually ON
THE PREMISES?

No



Or, in the case of these small opticians, is cutting the lenses to shape
something which would usually be done by some external company that
probably supplied the lenses?

Lenses are made by specialists. Look under Optical Goods Manufacturers and
Wholesalers in yell.com

face down in the dust?"
"It's a very effective way of being wretched," said Marvin.
