Any truly free (fine, reasonably priced) contact lens trials?
Never tried contact lens before and noticed Specsavers and Vision Express advertise free contact lens trial, so maybe it's time to try. Booked a slot with Specsavers only to be told over the phone that no matter what their web site says, it's not free (yes, just like that). Tried different Specsavers branch with the same…

Possible arm nerve damage due to leg elevation?
Hi all. Basically I've got some extra fluid in my ankles due to sitting down for the best part of a year due to work. I thought I'd elevate my legs to improve the situation. What happened was, I did it for about 30-40 mins but at the same time I was using my tablet to pass the time. It was a pretty awkward way of doing…

Specsavers pandemic precautions
Has anyone had an eye test at a Specsavers recently, and if so what safety precautions were in place? I know each shop is probably different but I'd like an idea of what I might reasonably be able to expect when I ask about precautions at the one I usually go to. Also there currently tends to be a difference between what a…

Understanding a nutrition label
I've taken more of an interest in my food ever I woke up one day, looked in the mirror and saw that I was unhappy with what I saw and wanted to be healthier - I would eat anything and everything without checking the level of sugar, fat, etc that foods contained and would eat until full. Although I've learnt to better…

Shower attachment for bath with square plugs
Have found the above posted here by google search in 2011 with no solutions. My heart sank. Wherever you look so many have complained on reviews that you can never solve this without leaks. Many products claim to do the job but fail. Some that look convincing and cost upwards of £30 are partial solutions but consensus…

Eye test Question
I recently had an eye test. Despite my right eye being stronger than the left, my prescription shows +2 for "near" for both eyes. As a result, when using my new prescription reading glasses (bought elsewhere) for reading a book, I have to choose between having the book a bit nearer for perfect viewing for my right eye, or…

CBD Oil
Has anyone else tried this? Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant, and is now legally available in drops or capsules. I've been using it for the past week, thought it was worth a try as I suffer from insomnia. For me it really works - been sleeping much better, with no hangover effects…

The consultant has confirmed this is what caused it and he as unfortunately seen quite a…

Vitality Health Caffe Nero reward
After much kerfuffle the Coffee at Home Nero reward was changed from Post to pick up at your nearest branch due to environmental concerns and extra cost to members. It seems they've reverted back to the old system again without a word of explanation. Putting a pack of Nespresso capsules or filter coffee in a big envelope…

it's the wisdom tooth) removed. However,
I'm not so sure and would rather have a 2nd/3rd opinion. Do you think I should register with another dentist in order
