Dole bum detected. It's only free if you don't contribute to society, are over 60, under 16(?), or already have significant eye problems AFAIK
No, not on the dole. I've just checked and Specsavers - a typical bong highstreet opticians chain, do eye tests for £20. And free for some medical conditions, a child or over 60. Combined with the fact they'll do you quite normal looking glasses starting at around £40+ I think my point stands. Who the Hell is paying $800 for this stuff?

Americlaps apparently. I payed ~£130 for my test and glasses, £60 frames £40ish in lens options and the test.

But if the opticians weren't being visited by a tonne of OAPs, dole bums and kids payed for by the NHS I can see the price going up drastically. if it was cash only their customer base would drop off drastically and they'd have to charge more, NHS customers kind of subsidise us paying customers.

I see your point. But who pays for the NHS?
 
Because I didn't register £20 as "paying for something". Clearly to a dole bum like you, it's more memorable.

you're over 60 aren't you. OAP ALERT
 
that's a refence I do not get, probably because it's too old. I'll come visit you all the time when you're in the care home gramps.
TheLastStand is a user here on the forums with a, lets say, affection for those in an older age bracket.

Anyway, I'm neither confirming nor denying anything as any sensible Farmer should. Thou Shalt Not Power Level.

Have fun!

@The Last Stand I found some OAPussy/bussy for you
 
Jesus, you're fucking obsessed with me. It's just a thread about glasses and I was just making a point that it's crazy anybody is paying $800 for them. There are more posts about me by you now than anyone else in this thread. Move on.
You were wrong on the internet, do you think that can go without repercussions grandpa?

What did I do?

Anyway, glasses. Last checkup for my eyes was before COVID-19. I keep saying to get on it, but I keep putting it off.
