With the development of a usable good, autorefractor made by Essilor, as per my other thread, for the run of the mill regular glasses no more specialised eye tests will be needed, with the exception of medial attention.
If optical retailers would charge cost plus service, they could even compete with one liners at the original selling price, and the service charge according to their own professional capability and experience.
In a system as such, the good and experienced optical retailer would be a clear winner, and in my opinion not earn any less income.
