I'm really due for an eyetest & probably new specs about now and would like to get the cost down if at all possible. I've done a quick online check with Glasses Direct and can get something similar for around £325 and i've also checked Specsavers online for a quote, and seem to be able to get a pair similar for round about £350. I'm a bit dubious with my prescription, ordering online, so was wondering if anyone else had done this, and also what your experience both pricewise and service wise was at our local opticians?

Varifocals are useless for men, but OK for women. Only tried them once for a short time, changed them for bifocals.
Males are geneticaly imprinted to stand still and move their eyes, from the old hunter gatherer days.
Whilst women point their noses at every thing and flit from thing to thing like butterflies.
Notice that women have to be looking at the person talking to them, and when they are in a group, they spin like tops. Put 3 women in a car and its dangerous, can't stop talking and turning their heads.
And before you feminists start braying just observe a group of women and look where your going when your driving.
Retlaw.
