I could not believe that a semi-medical service would use such cheap tactics. This was not one of those chain opticians either. It took me a while to catch on, and then I joined in the game. I eventually got more than a £100 off, with thinner lenses too. They've lost some of my trust though, and I've been going to them for about 20 years.
Why have they lost your trust Dandelionpoppy? Is it because the service has dropped or the fact they entered into 'game' and the price reduced?..I find this really interesting.

Apologies to used car salesmen, but I wouldn't have expected this. I felt that the person advising me was steering me to the pair which would get her the most commission.
I have very poor eyesight, and usually wear contacts. In glasses I have to have thinner lenses, or as the optician who tested my eyes said (They'll be like bottle bottoms and you won't want to be seen in them." I took out my current pair, which are Chanel, and have a much smaller surface area than her target pair. (This helps as the lenses go thicker as they go larger.) I kept asking her to show me some of a similar size, but she tried to put me off. I stuck to my guns, and after a bit of a stand-off, which involved reductions in prices, I settled on a pair I actually liked much better. She tried to put me off by pulling her face a bit, and saying that they were OK, but her choice was much better. At this point I turned to her colleague and she agreed that my choice was great.
Phew....I got up and a bloke who was waiting, and had heard the whole thing, gave me a wink and a thumbs up.
