Opticians prescription

pks_2

On the subject of opticians prescriptions, I took my partner to Specsavers in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, today, got an eye test and ordered new glasses. When I asked for the 'PD' reading or 'P to P' reading, the assistant spoke to the manager who refused to give us the measurement, stated that this is company policy. I know that they have given me the measurement in the past. Are they right to refuse?

Where did you see the voucher on the D&A site? I can only see a half price test voucher.

I only looked at the site on Monday night. They've changed the offers since then.I got vouchers for a free eye test and for 20% off glasses and now you can only get ones for a half price eye test and 10% off glasses.Information was correct when I posted I promise you!

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

This is true, except your PD is usually only measured when you order glasses, and only comes under Data Protection Act if measured during the eye examination
