Specsavers eye screen vans hit the road

Specsavers eye screen vans hit the roadOn the back of research showing that a quarter of children have never had an eye test, Specsavers launched an ‘Eye Screen’ van to raise awareness about the importance of regular examinations.

The research, conducted by Specsavers among 1,000 parents with children aged 4-16 years, also revealed that a further one in five hadn’t had an eye test in two years or longer.

Visiting London’s South Bank on July 26 and the Royal Botanical Garden in Edinburgh on July 28, the vans were equipped with visual screeners, and ice lollies, to alert parents to potential eyesight problems in their children.
