Greensleeves is the only ice cream van song I've heard in Australia.

Yeah, we deal with some practices that don't easily share prescriptions. There's always bad eggs! If a customer asked for their PD I'd give it to them, but conversely if a customer came to me wanting lenses and told me their PD I'd measure it anyways. It's really only important for you to know if you're ordering lenses online.

Your PD is here so that's fine. If however you require a multifocal/progressive or computer/office lens you will need heights. The heights in this picture are only applicable to the frame you are wearing. However if you're going to another dispenser to buy frames and lenses from them they will measure you up.

For the record, in Australia your lens prescription is your property, but as was stated by someone else usually the optical dispensers will take your PD, and they often aren't recorded on your script. Also, as a dispenser if I call your optom to request a copy of your script, they will give me the prescription but not the PD. It's something usually taken w, at point of sale.

Yes to Hercules Returns. I let people know that if they're going to watch it to stick through the first 20 minutes. It's pretty terrible at the start.
