View submission: Are opticians just glorified salesman's now?
For years I was getting glasses every eye test from a high street optician. One time I went to an independent one instead when I was due another eye test, and they told me after that my eyesight was borderline but I probably didn't really need glasses.
They did point out that eyesight can chsnge with age and occasionally it can change for the better, which might've happened since my last test. So I wasn't necessarily being sold glasses I didn't need (but I probably was).

But an actual optometrist doesn’t care to sell you glasses. They’re simply there to test your eye health and tell if you need them or not
