I think my opticians got my prescription wrong

I recently had my eyes tested at the local opticians in town. They said there had been a slight change in my prescription (about 1 dioptre) and changed it. I took my prescription to Boots and picked out some new frames to have made up.


I've just been to collect them, tried them on and could immediately tell that the right lens was fuzzy. The lad at Boots took the glasses away and checked and double checked and is certain that they have been made to the prescription I got from my optician.

What are my options regarding getting a re-test and getting my new glasses corrected if my prescription is wrong?

Just go back, any optition worth their salt will take you away for a mini-test to see if the prescription works out (just a matter of reading the board) it could be a simple decimal point or something and would be then their job to fix it for you, no charge.

Well the good news is I went back to the opticians yesterday and had a re-test. They agreed that the original prescription was wrong and are in the process of having the lenses corrected
