my partner is a locum optometrist and he works at a wide variety of stores... Asda and specsavers seem to be the best value at the moment.
I think asda also do a thinner lenses on their standard prices, where as specsavers you pay extra for that.

all the staff in branch should be able to help you out with measurements to get the right fit. I'm surprised they didn't help you after your sons eye test.

If you have your sons prescription (which they have to give you if you request it) you can easily order online from a number of websites. However if they don't fit properly when they arrive, its not going to be so easy! In branch they can adjust them to fit your son perfectly.

I should point out that it is illegal for an online supplier to dispense a minor.

good point nedmundo. I hadnt realised that.

I would say persevere with the current optician you go to and see if they can help you out. Hope you get it sorted without too much cost or hassle.
