I work for a high street opticians, and if a customer asks us to adjust their glasses we have to make them aware that it is at their own risk.

Indeed. That doesn't negate doing the job though, and charging for it. If the frame does break, you could also offer to repair it for a fee.

The law? Specs can only be made up to a current & signed prescription - was that not provided at your last eye exam?

Out of interest nedmundo, would a scanned copy of my GOS2 (prescription satisfy this requirement?

I have used this company. They were excellent and I will certainly use them again when I need my next prescription.

I can't comment on their financial strength, however.

My prescription has changed and I have just picked up 2 new pairs of specs. I'm looking for a new pair of prescription sunglasses but my regular optician has a very small selection at the moment. Can anyone suggest an online site that has a nice selection with some decent prices?

I had a voucher out of the advantage card machine at boots that gave half price sunglasses. It included prescription ones. It may be just in store though.

Sorry PMDuk, just spotted this. I suspect that would be fine, as it would be no different to using a faxed prescription.

I've recently been trying to buy specs online but found it difficult for two reasons: firstly I can't use my NHS optical voucher against lenses online, and secondly, my high street optician's prescription doesn't contain my PD or Pupilary Distance. I have just signed an online petition but do you have any advice? I'm also a mature student but found no student deals in conjunction with other offers - is this allowed?

Hi,
Goggles4u have an ongoing offer on Varifocal /Progressive lens of aprox.£24.00 for the lenses and £2 or £3 for the frames.
I recently got 2 pairs delivered for £52.00

Problem with Goggles4u is their prices are a mess. I click on a £15.99 pair of glasses and up comes a £249 pair! Every cheap pair I have clicked on tonight was a completely different pair when it came to the checkout. None of the really nice and "apparently" cheap frames were in fact the same as the original picture.

Any deals on prescription sunglasses?
