Vision Van heads to Tenerife

​Vision Express took its new Vision Van to GrandVision’s annual conference

Vision Express took its new Vision Van to GrandVision’s annual conference in Tenerife this month.

The Vision Van has journeyed around the UK offering free eye tests to the public, as well as helping to raise awareness of the importance of regular eye tests, particularly for drivers.

The vehicle appeared at the GrandVision conference to allow delegates from more than 40 different countries across the world to see the eye testing facilities on board the glow in the dark lorry.

Jonathan Lawson, CEO for Vision Express, said: ‘We are extremely proud to have developed the new concept Vision Van in the UK. We’ve had incredibly positive feedback from our corporate and charity partners, as well as at Government level, so we thought it only fitting to bring the Vision Van to Tenerife and introduce it to our global GrandVision colleagues.’

“As many as 90% of visitors are overdue an eye test, around two-thirds have out of date or incorrect prescriptions, and up to 1 in 10 have never had an eye test. This demonstrates the value of our investment, and is why, after this major conference, we have a packed schedule for the rest of 2018.’
