Opticians who understand pilots needs

Folks,

My AME has indicated I will (almost certainly) need glasses for my next medical - old(ish) age comes to us all

I will certainly only NEED near sight correction to pass the medical - but there will probably be some improvement to far sight possible.

Bearing this in mind I'm thinking about vari-focals. I seem to recall that, ideally, these should have the near/mid/far areas in a different part of the lens from normal (looking through different parts of the lens compared to usual - in particular during the flare/hold-off phases).

Does anyone know of an aviation aware optician, in London / SE, who could help me?

Thanks
