I just need glasses for reading and time spent at computer due to work. Just had a retest and eyes got worse so had new prescription. Like some above I keep losing glasses or they are never where i need them to be round the house. I asked about the cost of a spare pair and optician said don't bother buying from him - too expensive! He recommended I just need one ' proper pair' for majority of the time (although I never asked why!) and should get some 'off the peg' ones from Asda etc. In fact he opened his brief case and showed me his own Asda specials! Optician said nothing wrong with the quality, that they are cheap due to economies of scale and lack of frame personalisation, anti-reflective coatings etc. Anyway, took his advice bought a couple of pairs and they do the job for me just as good as the prescription ones. In fact I'll probably not bother with expensive ones next time and buy some bike bits with the money saved.
