Yeah, they looked lovely. I guess some people might possibly have a skull the right shape to magically hold them in place but in my case sadly not.

I tried on a pair of this style, and they felt "odd". But the assistant said that they are heated and the arms moulded to fit the head. But she said that for them to sit properly, I would have to opt for "thinner and lighter" lenses. Not an option for the varifocals that I require.
Incidentally, for the past few years our family have been getting our specs from the local ASDA.

Re: Eye Test, Contact Lenses & Glasses
The mould adjustment is done when collecting the glasses. When ordered online the only person I'm in contact with is the courier

How on earth is the fit checked. Every pair I have ever had ,and have been wearing them all life. Have needed adjusting to fit . Never mind correctly positioning the lenses. Different even when getting two pairs at the same time .

Re: Eye Test, Contact Lenses & Glasses
I just called vision express that booked me in for a eye test, my last had expired some months ago and legally I'm not allowed to give my expired eye test results. Not sure how true that is because these online retailers have the option to input your test results without providing evidence. Anywho vision express offer free moulding. It doesn't matter if the glasses are purchased elsewhere.
I kind of like these

Does the strap not sit behind your neck?
