How comes they be so cheep? Is they perscription type or oft the shelf.
Prescription goggles from Glasses Direct. Normally buy one get one free but todays deal is same with another 50% off. I've used them for the past 6 or 7 years. I get through a few pairs cos I keep dropping them and such. They are so cheap now compared to the high street I treat them as consumables.
 
OK a really good result on the revamp of the kitchen lighting today. I am very pleased (and so is the boss). ;)
The mysteries of the 28-year sealed ceiling/floor void were navigated without too much difficulty and 12 LED downlighters and a 4-pot pendant were installed.
A dimmer (less-clever?) switch was installed so we still have 2-way switching, but instead of switching 2 ceiling roses/lights, we now have independent 2-way switching of the downlighters and pendant lights with dimming function from one end only (it is non-standard to have 2 dimmers at either end of a circuit).
I have some ceiling repair/rework to do, but it is far less than I had imagined.

The expense comes when you have to wear them all waking hours as a better quality one is 1. stronger as well as fashionable, 2. better fitting, so more comfortable , 3. mostly more complex lens 4. properly fitted by the optician, 5. on-going help available from the optician if required.

Having said all this, I certainly think the 'direct' ones are great value if treated as 'consumables'.

I found that the online ones are just as good a fit and well made as high street fitted ones. One of my pairs is a varifocal, first pair of these - absolutely brilliant for driving (I was struggling to read the instruments) and can read the road signs well before getting close to them. I thought my long range vision was good but the optician who did my prescription said I was missing things and recommended varifocals. But he wanted about £900 for a pair - enough said.
 
Well I made the decision to sell my road going motorcycle today. I got offered what I wanted and he is coming over at the weekend to take it away. I haven't been able to ride for 3 years....
I always thought I may be able to again one day but realised it will not happen :( The trials bike went to the same chap.
Tis a sad day but inevitable c'est la vie

not been invited to the office party this year because i didn't attend the office at least 3 days a week during lockdown and instead worked from home :(
So no embarrassing snaps taken of your undercarriage on the office photocopier then.


Or on any other member of staff! :(:(:(

There will be others like you, maybe you can have your own party, just make sure the photocopier is there!;)

Nice one mate!

They do have to give you your prescription when you go for an eye test, the only thing they won't give you is the distance between the centres of your pupils and the centre of your nose, but it ain't difficult to measure this yourself or with a friend, then you can go online and order them a heck of a lot cheaper. :):):)
