I used to get paid-by-work eye tests at Specsavers, and they were fine. Now work have switched the contract to Tesco, who are also fine (and markedly cheaper if you're paying yourself).

For glasses, I've no experience of getting lenses replaced, I'm afraid.

My strategy is to buy very, very cheap glasses online. This enables me to be entirely relaxed about choosing them. I just buy the cheapest I can find that look remotely suitable. If they don't suit/fit me, I just buy another pair. Not that I've had to do that anything like as often as I expected. (Once in about six years, I think.) I used to to use GlassesDirect.co.uk (I think they were among the first, if not the first), and had no trouble. But they're not nearly as cheap as they used to be. These days I use Tesco, and paid something like a tenner for the pair I'm wearing at the moment.

Hooray for Luca! And hooray for helping out. Go you!
