I've worn prescription glasses for a number of years purely for reading purposes ( weak right eye) and it's about time I bought some prescription sunglasses so that I can read in bright light overseas
I last had an eye test 12 months ago with Specsavers, and there was little change, and as I normally buy two pairs with the cheapest frames, I didn't bother.
Are the large chain opticians much of a muchness, or does anyone have any recommendations please?
Thanks in advance

I have been well served over the last 20 years by Boots. Full digital retina scan last couple of times out.

Ah, that would explain the, y'know, "bus" thing...
:-))

I have an annual digital retinopathy hospital check as part of my diabetes monitoring, Specsavers have done a couple as well. With the price of their frames I don't know that the savers bit is accurate. I have not had any problems with buses. :-)

How are you with steps O.N.
Just out of curiosity

I have spent a bit of time at sea in bad weather, it would take more than a few steps to knock me over, drunk or sober, but I am not motorway womble shaped.. :-)

Hey dont knock it. The bus thing is very handy.
I used to get cold calls along the lines of "We understand you have been in an accident..." I reply "Oh yes, the one where I hit a bus with 46 schoolchildren on board?"
The cold calls seem to be suddenly reducing in number.

I didn't know that. Good to hear.
Doesn't help to explain their propensity to buy beige clothes and Korean hatchbacks then does it?

Likewise.
I have found Specsavers offer a good service and good prices.

I've tried the large chains and found there's a much better service at local, independent opticians. Mine also happens to be an eye surgeon at my local hospital and Moorfields.
