You know you’re free to do this, right? It’s no big hush hush secret. If you feel pressured by the FoH staff you need to muster a little confidence to say ‘no thanks’ or ‘I need some time to think’. They can’t/won’t hold your prescription hostage.
If my prescription was small enough to buy online I’d be doing exactly the same. It’s great that these services for cheap lenses/frames exist, the greater the customer choice the better!
