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?

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?

My optician finishes off the lenses

How else are they going to get a good fit in the frame ?

The lab supplies the frame and lens....

Not in my local opticians they don't

Finishing off lenses is hardly rocket science


Your optician will certainly not fabricate the frame or the lens.

As for finishing not being rocket science, please enlighten us.
