Half an hour with somebody who explains what they are looking at, frames you can take your time over, and lenses chosen for what you actually do all day. Bring your old glasses.
Worth knowing
- Time to test properlyHalf an hour, with the health of the eye checked as well as the prescription.

- Frames at every priceFrom plain and sturdy to the ones you will be pleased with for years.
- Fitted, not just soldPupil distance and heights measured for your frame, so varifocals land where they should.
