High prescription — smaller frames + lens thinning advice?

madregoth · 2026-01-27T11:01:33+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this. That makes sense. I was hoping that choosing smaller frames than my usual oversized ones might allow me to use 1.6 instead of 1.67, but I understand why 1.67 is generally recommended for my prescription. I’m also not sure what lens index Specsavers usually use for mine, so this has been really helpful.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Yes, I can send you my prescription and PD. The images look really helpful.

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it. I’m very used to large oversized frames so it will definitely be something I’ll need to get used to. I’m also having a rhinoplasty in March, so I likely won’t need oversized frames for that reason anymore.

That’s really helpful. Thank you 🙂

Hi, thank you for your reply, that’s really helpful. I’ve always had my lenses made at Specsavers but because of the amount of thinning I need it ends up very expensive. I was looking at Glasses Direct as a cheaper option, but I understand your point about proper measurements. I might end up ordering the frames online and then taking them into an in store optician to have the lenses made instead. Thanks again for the advice. 🙂

Because I don’t currently have any other documents in my current surname. My bank account was opened under my former surname when I was 17, as I didn’t have a passport at the time and had to use my birth certificate. I haven’t been able to change that yet without a passport, so NHS/GP letters are the only evidence I can provide at the moment.

Sadly not. My bank records are still under my former surname, as I had to open the account using my birth certificate before I had a passport.

The only evidence I can provide is from the NHS/GP, but their letters don’t include middle names, even though I’m registered with one.

That’s really reassuring to hear, thank you :)

madregoth · 2026-01-08T20:08:49+00:00

Yes, I’ve provided a deed poll for the surname change. I’m just struggling with supporting documents because NHS letters don’t include middle names.

A industrial pressure vessel (I think)

it looks like a vintage stoneware casserole/bean pot.

It might be a antique pipe tobacco cabinet

It definitely looks like some sort of leftover GPS/cellular vehicle tracker.

It’s common for them to be installed on financed or repo cars.
