April produced positive results with increases in all key performance measures over last month and the same month last year. The last time we were able to report such positive news was over a year ago in February 2013. Annual growth though, which compares the past 12 months with the 12 months before that, is negative for all our key performance measures apart from sales volume of progressive lenses, total turnover and turnover per eye examination.
Total practice turnover increased by just over 2 per cent to 173 Index points from last month, which is 1 per cent higher than last April and is the highest Index value since May of last year. Turnover per eye examination is almost £5 higher this month at £179, which is just over £1 higher than April 2013.
