Purchasing specs WITHOUT prescription…
|
|
Feeling a bit jittery so this is obviously the place to come to. Long story short; I haven’t got a prescription from the last ten years but my eyes are DOUBLE HARD bastards. Everyone I’ve tried online won’t sell me any bins without a newer one.
Do any of you wankers know a site where they will flog me a pair without needing all that shit?
Cheers.

For reading or for distance? If for reading you can buy those without a prescription.

Careful.
The wrong glasses can crush your head like a serrated gin trap

Why don't you just go and get your eyes tested?

As someone said, if they are just for reading, just walk into a shop and buy a cheap pair. Otherwise, get an eye test. Or is that all part of the anxiety thing?
Anyway, look at Dave’s profile and re-read the Anyone Date a French Bird? Thread. A bit of nostalgia from when the site used to be good.

Haven’t had your eyes tested for 10 years?
LOL.
Are your current frames from the Deirdre Barlow collection?

No need to be ANXIOUS about an eye test. They've come a long way in the last ten years. Look:

If you haven't had your eyes tested for 10 years, how do you know what strength of glasses to purchase?
You can but glasses (and contact lenses) from most websites without a prescription, as long as you know the right prescription strength to buy. Glasses Direct for example. You have to know your prescription (to order) but don't have to supply a copy.
But as others have said, go get your eyes tested.

Specsavers visit those unable to attend the opticans according to an advert on TV
so that could be an option if you're overtly anxious

If its the bit where they blow the air into your eyes just ask them not to do that bit.
Apart from that it's just reading the charts and looking at the dots for brightness and comparisons in each eye.
Using the wrong strength glasses can do more damage in the long run.
An eye test can also pick up other health issues related to Glaucoma and high blood pressure so worth having one for that reason too.

Try prescription swim goggles sites.
Obviously, they'll look a bit odd unless you're wearing swimming trunks

I'm alright for distance but have used reading glasses of ever-increasing strength for the last 20 or so years. I'm on #3s now, but I only recently discovered that #1s are ideal for watching TV. Means I can get away with cheap ones and don't need a test.

10 quid for an eye-test, is it not, free for the over sixties, I believe.
Boots remind me every year to go get it done;10-15 minutes at most and a lot of the testing is done by machine these days.
You don't have to buy your specs there (although they hope you do), you can just take the prescription away.
You could probably get it made up in Cambodia by a one-legged optician for less than the price of a night with a ladyboy.
Plus, as has been said, an eye test can pick up other underlying problems about which it is far better to be aware than ignorant of.

Don’t make me relive all of that again. Is that the hairy armpits woman?? Haunting.
