[BNM] [OT] A good opticians

[Rob Wilson]

Specsavers in Churchil Square has a 2 million quid lab that they use to
grind their own lenses on site, I believe its the only lab of its kind in
Brighton. From what I remember being told all other opticians send off to
the same suppliers for their lenses - and don't let the smaller vendors rip
you off by giving you anti-glare coatings etc, its all a waste of money. All
this information is according to an optician I met in a pub once so please
don't email me if your eyes fall out.
