Eye Test Prescriptions
39 Answers
If I need separate glasses for distance and near sight do I need two separate prescriptions? I am thinking of getting online specs but am not sure what would be required - also, any advice on who to get them from would be appreciated.

on-line glasses MAY be satisfactory , BUT the problem is that you can't try them on, so that you may be able to see in them, but they are not comfortable. So if you want to risk "cheapies" then on-line specs might be the answer. However it is always bst to go to the optician to be fitted. Yes, you will need two prescription s.

I take your point gingeb. Yes, had I known about Asda Opticians before I had my eye test then I would have used them as I agree it is best to use one optician for both test and specs. Yes sqad, they do eye tests as well. You need to check your local Asda does have an Opticians attached although at the price it's probably worth travelling to the next town if you have to. The lady who fitted my glasses was wonderful and took a lot of time and care ensuring my varifocals were spot on. I bought only the one pair as I have never used the second pair in my life when buying two for the price of one. And if I did lose my current ones I could go back to Asda and get another pair for £110 so quids in. The lady who fitted my glasses said they get their materials from exactly the same place as all the High Street opticians. I think we are truly being ripped off by our HSOs.
The one thing I should mention is that you probably don't get such a large range of frames from which to choose.

Been there done that mamya. D&A were brilliant but once Boots took over and the D&A staff disappeared I thought they went downhill. I remember the screens. Come to think of it I think the chap in Asda took photos for me of me wearing my favourites so I could make a final choice. Must check with my DD.
Many thanks for all answers and comments - I was surprised by the amount of interest. I have tried but cannot get on with varifocal or bifocal lenses - hence my reference to distance and near sight glasses. My query here on AB was to get some info on less expensive opticians than my local practice - I'll give it some more thought, but it will probably be Specsavers for the test and the glasses.
Thanks again.
