Default Ordering prescription specs online

I have surveyed several on line suppliers of prescription spectacles and
found that most seem to use a similar web page arrangement and source the
ordered item from the US, although through a UK office. This web page
ordering system is very simple and is heavily biased to making a sale at
all costs. The short comings are that they only have a certain number of
frame fitting sizes and in order to get exactly what I want is impossible..

I ordered some £30 prescription rimless reading glasses which were quite
well made, but because I could not get a 16mm nose bridge my eye pupils
were not in the centre of the 50mm wide lenses.

The other problem is reviewing a chosen specification held in the 'Basket'
ready for purchase. I can't remember if I had decided on transition lenses
for the varifocals or not, but there no way to know. Opening the basket
just shows the PP logo.


I have bought several pairs - for self and mother - from https://www.onestopglasses.co.uk/

All round excellent.
