which special coatings would you like? Buying a "special coating to
protect against scratches?" Shouldn't that be part of the bloody lenses?

Well, I got two pairs of plain specs (but with astigmatism correction) for
£70 all in from Specsavers. Like anything else you can upgrade to what you
feel you can afford.

Huh!
Now try and persuade them to reglaze your current pair!
