Just thought I would update this in case it may help others.
I had to go to Poitiers last week and whilst there we decided to go into Leclerc supermarket. They now have their own optician shop, so we went in and asked if they just sold glasses or done eye tests too.
A very nice man said yes we do eye tests would you like one now? Mrs Fred was gob-smacked and couldn't believe it. Anyway's he tested her eyes and started turning some dials and just as she was getting there and could see a lot better, he stopped and said "I'm sorry but I can't get it 100% for you and suggest you ask your doctor to refer you to an opthomologist as you have double vision on one eye"
So he could have given her glasses but it looks like she has a bit more of a problem than she thought, so it could be worth others giving it a try when you next need your eyes tested.
Oh and the cost for Mrs Fred's eye test? Nothing! he couldn't help her so he didn't charge her for the half hour of his time.
