OT Buying specs

Tis a good time for buying specs, as there are sales on. Had my eyes
tested today too, no changes. So I decided to buy a new pair of
memoflex glasses with those fancy lenses that get darker in the sun.

I'm skint now though. Maybe I should have gone to Spec savers. :/

i went in but they confirmed it.

So, anybody here work in the industry or know someone who

If you steer way from "fashion" frames the glasses from opticans get a lot
cheaper.

You can reading classes for a tenner from most big stores. You just try them
on and find a pair that works. If you're really poor and not bothered about
wearing dead peoples glasses you could try a charity shop.

 

Wos he say?

Define "old".

One usually does, it's not difficult to determine when everything
[1] is out of fucking focus.

Asda pharmacy.. Hundreds to choose at < 5gbp.

[1] within a particlear range.

 

Costco have an in-warehouse opticians. They are both cheap
& good. 2 years ago I was quoted £350 in Boots but paid
£89 in Costco. www.costco.co.uk for locations. You have to
be a member but membership is pretty easy to get.

Don't bother with D&H or other opticians custom mades. I just buy my
readers from the likes of Superdrug - they have a stand with a self test
sheet and you buy the colour coded specs you need. Average £10 - they're
only reading glasses right?

 

Weird.

I've just had an eye test this morning. I thought I had perfect vision but
had a check up [cos I they haven't been checked for ten years] and found
that I was long sighted.

I'm off to pick up my new specs in a minute. I got two for the price of one
at Specsavers.

 

Just get the windscreen of your merc prescription ground.

 

My brother makes designer specs. I believe he currently lives somewhere in
Orange county, if that's any help.

 

Depends on who you are. If you are a Optician, Dentist, Pharmacist, Laywer
or EKS (VAT registered) you can join as presumably you earn loads of money.
Otherwise you have to work in one of the following: Local Government;
Medical/Health Service; Police Force; Post Office; Banking/Finance; Civil
Servant; Education or Fire/Rescue.

Needless to say I don't qualify for either criteria :-(
