Optician Index July 2015: Exams and fees

Last month the Index reported solid first half-year results for the financial indicators and an increase in the number of eye examinations. Over the past five years, July has seen a monthly decrease from June in the key performance measures, and though we have seen a fall in most of our indicators the financial benchmarks are stronger and show a significant improvement on the same month last year. This month our analysis focuses on eye examinations and dispensing over the past year and looks at the fees charged for private eye examinations and the amount of time allocated.
