Optician Index March 2015: First quarter in focus

At the end of the first quarter we are taking a look at how our key performance indicators compare with the same quarter of the previous two years, as well as how they have performed against last month and March 2014. After positive results in February, the data for March is not so encouraging with all key performance indicators, apart from turnover per eye examination, at lower levels than last month. Total turnover held up this month compared with March last year but with the exception of sales of progressive lenses and new contact lens fits our other indicators failed to meet the Index figures reported in March 2014.
