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

in all the groups you posted to :-)

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?


I usually have a chat to mine I'm in, he's a good bloke, pretty small
shop, they send the lenses off to be cut, he says it really is a better
job done out-of-house, thought they sometimes chamfer and polish the
edges themselves.
