Have found a Dolland and Aitcheson near me (Mags recommended). They are not so commercialised as Specsavers etc but are still a chain.... Tis so confusing!! |

It only took me about a week to get used to varifocals and I never had headaches or problems with the stairs. I admit they seem strange to begin with but once you have adapted to them you don't realise you are wearing them. Bifocals are the worse ones for causing mishaps on stairs as there is a definite separation line between the two strengths of lens used.. |

Mags, a friend of mine also had cataract surgery in both eyes; he had one adapted for distance and the other for near vision! It sounds really weird to me, but apparently many people do this...he says he's never had any problems whatsoever! It seems the vision center in the brain adapts quickly to something like this.... |

When you think of it like that, the brain is such a wonderful thing isn't it?  |

It really is! We are strangely and wonderfully made, as the saying goes....look how people who've lost their sight as adults have their senses of hearing, smell and touch greatly intensified in compensation..... |

Spoke to another optician who can use my presciption from Specsavers, but if I have any vision problems then I need to go to them rather than the second optician for a complaint.... I dont want to pay for lots of eye tests so looks like I am either stuck with Specsavers or use Specsavers presciption and go elsewhere but deal with the two opticians separately if i have a problem with the lenses or frames!!! |

I thought all opticians charged the same for eye examinations Donna, I may be wrong  Do Specsavers offer you free eye examinations?Just found this link to half price eye tests, plus an extra 10% off glasses at D & A, Donna.............. http://www.danda.co.uk/4295/ |

I get free eye tests through the tax credits schemes, but only allowed maximum of one a year. Cant go elsewhere and get a free eye test elsewhere, and cant afford to pay for another eye test if I have to find £200/300 for glasses on top of that!!!! |

Well I have done the deed. Went back to Specsavers and took a colleague with me and ordered my glasses. I have ordered a pair for normal daywear and a pair of sunglasses.... and just looking at the frames managed to find some cheaper ones so the bill was a bit less than I originally thought as well. Just got to wait a week (Thurs 19th) and they ready for collection. And then have to pluck up the courage to actually wear them .... |
