Do **** off. Granted you can buy glasses far more cheaply mail order,
but that's because nobody checks that they fit you or fits them to you.
You need to get the correct bridge width and arm length to have glasses
that fit you properly and work right.

My current pair was bought from a proper opti-whatsits. Eye test - fine.
Fitting of frame? None of that - the frame is one size only, so you've
got to choose whichever random frame happens to fit your head, and woe
betide you if you want something unfashionable (I like large lenses) -
there's bugger all choice. And the quality of the glasses was cack too -
the first set of posh lenses lost their scratch-resist coating in little
over a year, and the frame itself is not robust at all, despite being one
of those bendy ones - I thought they'd be better at handling knocks etc,
not worse.

Grrr.

Shouldn't have gone to insert express.

Didn't. Proper opti-whatsits.

They are not what I call opticians.. you can tell as they can't do
retinopathy for instance.

Did the looking at my retina and everything. On the testing/examination side
of things they seem pretty good.
