            Tesco Opticians do free eye tests (or it's a claimable expense if you pay somewhere).

            I get my eyes done there, then go to Ciliary Blue and have an old frame reglazed with the new prescription if necessary. Saves a fortune over buying in store.

              Yes, I've been finding that occasionally Prittlewell in Essex isn't as near as it might be, and on a bad day it can be far

              what else where you saying ?

                Just the kind of thing I was trying to avoid

                Mind you, the free eye test at Tesco opticians sounds good, as long as they provide the quantitative results.

                  They tell you what's up with your eyes, if that's what you mean

                  Had no pressure, but they wouldn't give me my PD (which you need to be able to order glasses online). Not a problem, as I knew what it was, but annoying that she wouldn't measure it unless I was ordering glasses from them.

                    You're better off going to a proper ophthalmic optician who will do a zillion groovy tests on your eyes for little money. Lights shone and jets of air squirted, retinas scrutinised etc. And an eye test or 10 thrown in too. A veritable fun packed 30 minutes. They will try to sell you specs at the end but you don't have to buy any and they will also try not to give you your prescription in a written form (as you could go elsewhere then) and I've yet to manage to prise this document out of them successfully. They say 'come back when X is here' or 'we will post it', etc, but nothing ever happens even though they are legally obliged to hand it over. I imagine the test is a bit of a loss leader if you get one of the highly qualified bods, which you would ideally as they are pretty clued up.
