    Maybe I'm missing something - but I found a webpage with an illustration of the Ruler on - but couldnt find anything that stated "Fill in the form below with your details and we will send you a pupillary distance ruler to keep" (ie a physical item that can be put in a drawer).

    Am I missing something? Can someone give me a direct link to where I can ask to receive this physical item please?

    I got mine, too - well chuffed! Last time I bought glasses they were £280! I hope they'll be much less now. I've been a bit wary of buying off the internet because I've had glasses before when the PD hasnt been right and they take an AGE to get used to!

    Cos how can you be gloomy, when the sun shines out your bum? :D

    Great find, I tried to DIY it when I bought online and was rang back to check I wasn't a 12 year old!!

    Went to Specsavers where I'd had my eyes tested and they relunctantly gave it to me with a disclaimer saying that buying online is a risky business blahblah.

    I bought from glasses direct, great service even better price.

    Great find! High Street opticians are often a rip off.
    To see a world in a grain of sand,
    And a Heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
    And Eternity in an hour.
