Midwife receives free laser eye surgery

A midwife from Sutton Coldfield has received free laser eye surgery as part of Optical Express’ Thanks a Million campaign.

Dipika Jinger applied for the campaign due to worries about her expensive prescription and pain from wearing contact lenses. She will now be able to go on her dream holiday without any vision problems.

Head of people at Optical Express, Dawn Kondol, said: ‘We are delighted to hear the impact laser eye surgery has had on Dipika’s working and personal life.’

Optical Express launched its Thanks a Million campaign in July 2017, offering NHS workers free laser eye surgery due to a national survey that found people who dedicate their lives to public service are most deserving of thanks.
