Optician Prescription Duration - Am I being ripped off?

garynuman

Thanks for the replies.

I re-visited for an eye test last week. The manager was expecting me as the head office had forwarded my concerns to her.

She explained that this is the way the branch's optometrist always worked and tried to explain that it was because of a medical condition (but this is something I've had for 10+years so that can't really be a valid reason.)
However, they were happy to correct the prescription and I took it with me.

Satisfied with Boots' response but will look out for this moving forward.
