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 ?

These days they scan the frames and the lenses are cut off-site
to the scan. Works a treat. Means you don't have to send your
frames off for new lenses to be cut.

Mine must have a teleporter then

it took about 10 minutes to "lift" my varifocals 1/4"
