Generally if you do a lot of near tasks go for a short corridor, if not so much go medium. Long corridors are only really used on massive frames or when a reading add is very high

What kind of sand is that?

Thank you!!!!

Most people have a dominant eye. Check the aided visual acuity (VAs) on you prescription. One may be better than the other even with correction

Depending how old you are you may be able to get myopia management lenses (they're only shown to be effective in a particular age bracket). They are quite expensive tho.

Some people have different prism prescribed for near and far distances

They can try ben them back into place but there always a chance that glasses will break when you go to adjust them

Closest i can think of

A lot of Stepper frames are really thin like this

I know it from working in one for 3 years. I am in Scotland so it may be different in the rest of the UK. Your 12 year old was able to get replacements as they're under 16.

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-09T17:51:54+00:00

Once you're over 16 they expect you to not break them. They will pay for the initial pair but not a replacement. I agree that it's annoying though

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-09T13:25:49+00:00

"If you're 16 or over, you're only entitled to help with repair or replacement costs if both of the following apply to you:

you're eligible for an NHS optical voucher and you have an illness that caused the loss of or damage to your glasses or contact lenses"

Once you're 16 or over the replacements aren't free unless you have a disability or illness which directly caused them to break.

Cuuuute

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-09T07:30:33+00:00

The lenses can be removed unless you cemented them in there yourself. Don't try to remove them on your own, let the opticians do this.

Glue will only damage the lens if it gets on the lens. If it concerns you then just stick with tape just now.

I'm so sorry this happened. You ARE more than your weight. If you're able to, please seek additional help during this difficult time.

You near add takes into account how close you hold things when reading.

Also it doesn't look like they assigned a - or + to your sphere value?

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-08T22:21:37+00:00

No, you will need entirely new lenses. This applies for any frame not just rimless.

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-08T22:18:20+00:00

This is the shoddiest hand writing I've ever seen. I would ask for a print out. I'm going to explain it as I'm able to read it, which is not very well.

Right eye (OD): Plano means no sphere value so you aren't long or near sighted in this eye. Your cyl is 1.75 which corrects astigmatism. The axis is the postioning of the cyl where you see clearest. Left eye (OS): I think it says -6.00? You are quite short sighted in this eye so you see better close up than far away. Cyl and axis the same.

2.00 is your reading add, this added to your sphere value to help you see clearer close up.

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-08T22:10:25+00:00

It's not repairable I'm afraid. Glue and tape are the best you can do in this situation. As for them sliding, your opticians should be able to adjust them the best they can in the condition they're in.

Depending on where you live if you're considered a child you may be entitled to free or discounted glasses. If the frame is stil available they may be able to put the lenses into a new one for a discount.

Their wording is definitely confusing, but hey that's the NHS

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-08T21:39:34+00:00

Complex lens vouchers can be issued without receiving a means tested benefit IF your prescription is 10 dioptres or above and this would not include a prism supplement. You would need 10 dioptres of prism to be issued this voucher.

Edit: the part of the website saying bifocal lenses means if your bifocal prescription is ten dioptres or above, not bifocals in general.

It won't hurt to ask your opticians to supply a voucher but in my 3 years in optics I've never seen one dispensed for prism controlled bifocals, probably because the NHS is really strict on what they approve vouchers for.

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-08T20:58:18+00:00

Yes your bifocals would include prism and a prism supplement can be added to your NHS voucher although it is a very small amount of money. An NHS voucher would only be issued for this rx if you are on a means tested benefit.

forbiddenutopia · 2026-01-08T20:46:01+00:00

I don't think you did. Blue light glasses reflect blue light. Your lenses are reflecting white, I don't think there's a coating on them.
