Specsavers staff go back to school

Children at Sacred Heart Primary School in Luton were recently given a lesson in the history of glasses and the importance of regular eye tests by two members of staff from the town’s branch of Specsavers. DO Usman Uppal and optical assistant Ellis Bunyan also gave the children the opportunity to design and make their own glasses.

Store director David Brett-Williams said: ‘As the Specsavers initiative “eight is too late” suggests, it is vital that children understand the benefits of regular eye checks and appreciate the importance of glasses. To be able to go into schools such as Sacred Heart Primary and educate the kids while doing something a little different with them is great.’
