This voucher specifies that it is not necessary to purchase glasses.

That link doesn't seem to work?

Here is a link that should - no need to pick up the Tesco mag, just click on the free eyetest area and print off the voucher from the next screen:

I went for an eyesight test over a year ago, I was diagnosed with 'Retinitis Pigmentosa' known as tunnel vision.

I have now had my licence revoked, (having driven over a MILLION miles during my lifetime)

My business is at an end, as is my social life.

I would not recommend anyone to take an eye test, just buy some cheap specs from Wilkinsons or somewhere, otherwise you might end up a total wreck like me.

Once the DVLA get you, you have no chance.

I really am sorry that this has happened to you, but think of an alternative scenario. An eye test can discover conditions that left untreated can easily cause blindness. If you don't get your eyes tested you might miss out on the chance to keep your eyesight.

Everyone - DO get your eyes tested regularly.

I've mentioned this sort of thing before in this thread [EDIT: no, I haven't, I just thought I had - sorry!], but for those of you who only believe what you read in the newspapers, here's a link to BBC News:

Thanks for tip about Tesco magazine voucher..just in time to get one...then when I looked up D & A in yellow pages the advert states;

"simply..call in..& menion that you found us in yellow pages & we'll give you a free eye test"

So if you miss the Tesco mag voucher..try it !!

Page 972 of 2005 / 06 Glasgow South yellow pages (bottom of page) I guess D & A may have placed similar ads in other areas

Well I missed out on the free eye test but fortunately didn't pay the Dolland & Aitchison prices for my new reading glasses. I was encouraged to buy the 'basic' reading glasses for around £150 despite the assurance of the optician that my eyesight is currently 'border-line' and I only need to use glasses if my eyes are tired, light is poor etc. Having shopped around I have now purchased prescription glasses from https://www.glassesdirect.co.uk which have cost me £17.50 including p&p and a hard case & cleaning cloth. I had loads of fun choosing lenses with the interactive 'try on line' service which allows you to try glasses on any photo you have saved on your computer - this worked much better than I thought it would. My husband has been totally converted and is just about to order glasses for himself. Now I realise what a rip off optician's prices are I'm telling as many people as possible to try this site.

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone know the answer to my contact lens question please? My daughter (age 15) wears contacts & we have been paying Specsavers a monthly fee for these. Read the MSE tips & tried to register her with Tesco opticians but no luck - they told me that under age 16 you HAVE to stay with the opticians who provide the prescription even though Specsavers says she doesn't need another eye test for a year. The way round it would be to go to Tesco opticians & have an eye test - sadly the nearest ones in the North are Cleethorpes & Middlesborough!! Does anyone know if it is the case that you have to stay with them if you are aged under 16?

TIA if anyone can help!

try AC LENS.COM told a friend who was paying £25 a month to specsavers now she pays £56 for 6 months supply
good luck

Am I missing something here, or am I just thick as well as peaspaw !
I was paying £25 a month for contacts and solutions from my optician, including free eye tests, six monthly. I now use specsavers, £7 a month, annual test £15 I think. How can I save on this. Discounters seem more expensive.
