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?

Its a bit of lottery...

Some do their own, on crap equipment that should have gone down with the
ark.
Some are well skilled and use decent gear.
Some send to a lab who have crap equipment, and staff who couldn't give a
****.
Some send to a lab who have state of the art gear and discerning techs.
