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.


The ark never went down.
