Eye Test

jaysay · 17-12-2009, 09:51

Just in case there are other people who are in the same boat as myself I have found an optician that comes to your own home to do sight tests, its very hand if you can't get out. I have to have a eye test every year because there is glaucoma in my family. If any one would like the phone number PM me

Once you have your prescription you can buy on line MUCH cheaper.
I have done this for the past 5 years (twice)
You might think, like shoes, that you need to try them on for comfort, but contrarily, I have found that by specifying precicely the dimensions of each part of the frame, I get a better fit than trying on in an optician's shop.

Most shops shops need to bend and adapt their stock frames to fit - never needs to be done if they are the right size to begin with.
