I have just been to the opticians. Not only did they charge me hundreds of pounds for glasses they also gave me a trick pair that make me look like a 64 year old woman. If I go to a different opticians do you think they can prescribe a pair that knocks 20 years off?  |

Don't buy them. Get the prescription and then order them online.
Loads of places doing spectacles online now. |

I hate having to chose new ones...without my glasses I can't see, so have no idea untill I pick them up, what I look like.. and I never trust the assistants as let's face it, has anyone or know anyone, who when trying glasses on, when asked for their opinion the assistant said " oh no they make you look like Deirdre Barlow |

"Bin the glasses and you'll look all soft focus youthful. 
It only works if the person looking at you bins theirs "
But I look great in my mirror.....
Oh crap!  |

Too late I was taken in by the charming young man with the diamond ear stud who assured me the Kylie Minogue frames didn't make me look like ridiculous and the other customers were laughing at an hilarious joke. |

Doesn't always work. I have a complicated prescription so my lenses are always quite expensive. I even looked at Specsavers and they were cheaper if you didn't want varifocals. |

I went a few months ago and ended up paying £600+ pounds but the majority of that is for the lenses. I've been wearing glasses since I was 11 so I'm used to choosing frames which suit me while not being able to focus properly. |

We still need to post the pictures."

"My hubby wears glasses, always says he looks younger when he’s not wearing them...not surprised as he can hardly find the mirror let alone see his reflection!"
I had lasik eye surgery last week. Everyone is telling me I look younger now I don’t wear glasses. Been searching for new frames on and off for a few months and also sick of the steaming up issue so thought why not just take the plunge. Best thing I ever did, wish I had done it years again! |

I know how you feel. The minute I put on my specs I change into my mum who is 81. |

Thankfully my prescription hasn't altered in three years
That is a good thing because
a) the glasses I have now suit me, and
b) the next strength up is jam jar bottoms |

My wife isn't good at behaving in public, not that I discourage her. 
We've just posted the pictures on our profile rather than at the opticians. Can you imagine that eye test? "Forget the bottom line, can you see the pussy?!" |
