Fortunately I took my sunglasses and as clumsy as the combination may have looked the sunglasses when fitted over my glasses held the fort till I came home again. I was then told by the same optician that transitions wont work behind safety glass. The same applies for normal driving too, so unless I take my 'shades' with me the headaches continue. And the optician still doesn't as far as I am aware, carry the right size of clip ons. I remain very disappointed with them.

This has always made my glasses quite expensive. (Last year I started to develope a cataract in my strong eye and have been told to have a re-test evey year.) Would you be able to cope with my prescription or would it be too complicated, and almost as expensive as going to the normal opticians where I get 1 to 1 care?

I phoned and explained the problem and was told very politely to just email the correct prescription and send back the glasses. Less than a week later I received my new glasses which were perfect in every way and at no extra cost. Thank you specs4less, I am recommending you to everyone I know who has to wear specs. PS And the snooker glasses have definitely improved my playing. Thank you once again.

These are fitted to my present (Reactolite)frames to lessen the impact load on the nose bridge and distribute the load more widely.
