Hi,Sometime during 2005 and 2008 when I was living in the SW, I went to an Opticians, had an eye test and bought some specs', as you do. We left France but returned at the end of last year.Yesterday I decided to go to the local Opticians to organise an eye test and get some new specs', Ha!? What the Hell has happened here since I last went to an Opticians in France? I couldn't believe what I was told and I would be grateful if someone could confirm that wat I was told is true, and that I have not misunderstood ?I innocently walked in to request an eye test only to be told that it was not possible. What I must do is make an apppointment with a specialist Doctor/Opthalmologist from a list I was given covering the Department, they would then give me a eye test and a prescription, then I must find an Optician wno will make up the specs' !? I was also told that there is a SIX MONTH waiting list to see the specialist.
