Been told to day that I have to wear glasses for work because my eye muscles are too lazy to focus for long periods.
Fucking great. Where's the best place to get some frames etc?!
*awaits all the jokes....*

What's brown and sticky? A stick.
What's orange and sounds like a Parrot? A Carrot.

Opticians tend to be a good shout  I got mine from Haine and Smith. Looked in Specsavers and couldn't find a single pair of glasses that I liked! Although that's probably just because I'm incredibly fussy. Unless it's just a cheap pair of readers that you need? In which case you can get them from supermarkets, WHSmith etc... |

I'm pretty sure that if you need them only for work, your employer has to pay for most of it, along with an annual eye examination. You just need to make sure that the optician agrees that you only need them for work, and not for driving or reading etc
I use Dolland & Aitchison in the Brunel, they give you a decent eye exam and help you chose, but not in a pushy way. You can haggle with them as well :-)

I get my eyes tested in Asda, then get the glasses from where ever I find the pair I like the best. Bit different for me though as I have to wear them every minute of the day as I'm blind as fuck without them - I can focus on something about 8 inches from my eyes without them and past that its a blur.
If you want to spend as little as possible try Specsavers, Asda, Tesco and the like.

Specsavers aren't opticians, they're shopticians. They'll sell you glasses even if you don't need them. If you have your prescription, order from www.glassesdirect.co.uk. |

So either you've got glasses when you don't need them, or you're offering advice on something you know fuck all about... either way you're a mug! |
