    Hi,

    I had a lense fitting and follow up appointment with D&A however, I was meant to go back in to arrange a direct debit but they were so expensive.
    So I looked around and asked them for a contact lense prescription but they have refused saying I have to have some from them initially to check if they go okay...
    So if I go to say specsavers above and give them my details will they get the lense details on my behalf or not?

    Thanks
    Mitch

    Mitch - you don't need to ask for a contact lens specific prescription from D&A - just ask them to give you a print of your prescription, they should be able to do that OK. Another optician will then take the details from that for your lens trial.

    I've already got my appointment booked with vision express but they didn't mention the free trial at all, just free fitting consultation.... I'll mention it and see what they say...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
