Free Eye Test

*JoJo*

I received a voucher at the weekend, from "Boots Advantage Card". It allows you to have a free eye test when you book your child for one at the same time. It might be worth looking out for. It is a shame because my children are too young for eye tests, so I can't use it.

Just to clarify - it's a £10 eye test voucher - better than paying full price but not free....

If you have had your eye-tests through D & A before, and you are due for one soon, you may get sent a letter with a voucher enclosed for free test - I have. It also includes one to give to a friend providing they buy a pair of glasses afterwards. So if you know anyone who has been recently or may be going soon, they might be able to help you out!
