Good idea. The one I bookmarked, though, disappeared shortly after the thread! I'll see if I still have the bookmark somewhere.

I looked at the online suppliers when I had my last pair. ASDA were cheaper and they measure and fit them.

Which June 2012: Which? investigates the world of low-cost glasses and finds potentially dangerous specs for sale online

I didn't see the Which report, did it hint at where these dangerous specs were coming from?

Some online opticians are also B&M practices and some aren't and either may well buy their product finished from the same wholesalers who supply the industry, so no diff.

And it's really quite difficult to make a pair of glasses so badly that they would be deemed dangerous.

It's a bit overblown really - the problems are with varifocals and bifocals, not single vision lenses. Just skimmed it, but I think the problems were just getting the eyes in the wrong place.

[John Gifford]

Thanks again. John Gifford

You wouldn't say "just" if you wore varifocals with the lenses in the wrong place.
