    The really annoying thing is that these coatings used to be optional paid extras, and when I got some new lenses for the first time in almost a decade they quickly became blotchy and awful so I went back to get some more but this time with zero coatings.

    Specsavers told me that’s wasn’t possible, that ALL lenses have these coatings now, it’s not even optional.

    Glasses lenses used to last years and years, now they’re blotchy crap after only 3 or 4 years. Bloody ghets know what they’re doing. And ripping us off while they’re at it with their high prices £££

      I’ve had pretty decent luck ordering prescription glasses from the big online glasses retailer, you know the one, starts with a Z.

      I still gotta pay $100 for glasses but that’s way better than the $400 they cost retail.
