We want to be completely open with you: the cost of living is leaving no one untouched. People are holding back on spending – we opticians feel it, and so do the manufacturers.
We see the consequence every day: many people put off the long-overdue purchase of varifocals out of financial worry. They struggle through everyday life with an old prescription – headaches when reading, burning eyes at the screen, uncertainty on the road. Poor vision becomes a way to save money. That shouldn't happen.
So we sat down with our lens manufacturer. The result is our private 'vision support programme': 10,000 complete pairs of varifocals for exactly £169. No ifs, no buts. So that good vision in the UK doesn't become a luxury.
