This month our graphs are concentrating on the total volume of spectacles dispensed, lens types, new contact lens fits and contact lens solution sales over three calendar years from April to April. The linear trend lines show the current trend, taking into account the range of data included in the appropriate series line, rather than any historic values.
Total practice turnover increased fractionally to 175 Index points from last month, which is 2 per cent higher than last April and is the highest Index value since the pre-recession figure of November 2008. The figures reported in the Index are at current prices, not taking inflation into account; this is a monthly snapshot but still proves the resilience of the UK optical retail market. Turnover per eye examination is £2 lower this month at £180.
