I've been short sighted all my live and have worn glasses for 60 years, regularly going for sight tests every 18 months or so. Six or seven years ago I realised night driving was becoming difficult because of flare from on-coming vehicle headlights, which led me to check all the local opticians' websites for advice. Advice was in short supply because with the single exception of Scrivens, none of them mentioned the most important aspect of glasses: the lens. Frames, yes, lenses no – except for Scrivens. So off I trotted to their Royston branch (being the nearest) and was impressed by the optician knowing her stuff (subsequently a him knowing his stuff) and being able to offer a range of coating for my glasses which minimise flare and also protect against scratching.
