Hi -- I'm an American ex-pat who moved to the UK in 2000 (British husband). I've been living and working here ever since.
I'm not usually an Asda person because I don't like Walmart, but one of my colleagues told me about this deal and it can't be beat. She got verifocals with a complex prescription for £40. By sheer coincidence, her favourite frame was one of the cheap ones. Therefore, this summer, when I needed an eye check, I went there. Just go to any Asda with an optical department; not every Asda has them. You probably will need to book the eye exam itself ahead of time.
The last time I had to get new glasses (verifocals and complex prescription), it cost me £350 and I didn't go for expensive frames. Eek! I jumped at Asda's deal.
If you do have bad eyes -- as in above -8 or -10 (I can't remember which) and/or have a lot of astigmatism, you may get a free eye exam on the NHS. My eye exams are free.
