Next to offer sports range

High-street retailer Next is planning to launch a range of sports eyewear on its online eyewear site Next Vision (vision.next.co.uk),

The site already stocks a range of designer brands such as Ray-Ban, Police and Calvin Klein, as well as its own-label frames as prescription sunglasses or spectacles for men and women.

Despite a notice on the Next Vision website informing users that the sports segment of its website would be 'coming soon', the Next press office declined to say when this would happen at the time Optician went to press. Questions about whether the sports eyewear sold through the site would be available glazed with a prescription were also unanswered.
