Cheers, went into the wee place I get my eyes tested and yeah, they’re happy to get the frames glazed if I provide them.
It’s just a wee family business place so no on site lab but they seem to have a good rapport with the lab that they use and I’ve always been happy with the glasses I’ve had from them so I’m confident I’ll get a good result.
Now to find the frames at the best price possible!

As with everything, you pays your money and you takes your chances. As a general rule, I would try and find a bricks and mortar store with an on-sight lab. If you can, find an SMC qualified technician.
An increasing number of multiple Opticians use giant off-premises labs, that process enormous volumes, and are really set up for glazing in house products. The prescriptions are extremely, extremely rarely incorrect but to a trained eye the lens fitment can suffer, especially if the frame is unfamiliar.
