I have a pair of varifocal spectacles which I have had for several years.
I very rarely use them unless I feel I have to.
After an eye test last week, I was informed that my prescription has changed for my right eye.
Now I am quite fond of my current spectacles and I do not mind paying to have the lens replaced but the optician informed me it will cost me just as much for a replacement lens than it will for me to purchase a brand new pair of spectacles.
I called into Asda yesterday and was told the same in there.
When I had a puncture in my tyre and I took it to the garage I wasn’t told it would be just as cheap to buy a new car rather than replace the tyre !!
Why is this in opticians?
Is it simply greed or is there a very good reason?
