I got new varifocals last year but with my recent eye op the prescription in my right eye has dropped by 10 diopters so REALLY need new specs! Oddly the left eye has changed a bit for the better too, which surprised the optician as I am right eye dominant and the left one has always been poor.

Also charities that refurbish old glasses and send them to places where they are needed. Could free up some drawer-space I’m sending a pair off for reglazeing as soon as I can decide which pair to send first. Also which company to send them to - is that called choice paralysis?

Also, how the hell do you expect me to do an electronic signature using a mouse? And I don't have £500 to give you up-front.
