Specsavers voucher

Options
I've applied for some vouchers from work for money towards some glasses, and I believe they are for specsavers,
Unfortunately I don't like any of the frames from Specsavers, I prefer vision express or optical express, except for selling them are there any way around it?

possibly a silly question but i thought I ask anyway

    Just buy your frames from where ever you want, get your test and you glasses maed up at Specsavers where you can use your vouchers.

    No problem for Specsavers.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    It seems a strange thing for a company to give as gifts, Ive come across M & S, Boots, Tesco etc but never Specsavers.

    What does the voucher actually say? If it's the voucher i'm thinking of (and for the life of me can't remember the name on them) for £55 then you can use it at most high street opticians.

    These are the ones i'm thinking of. There's a voucher for an eye test and then a different voucher for the glasses if you need them. Some companies give you a letter for the optician to declare that you need glasses to use a computer at work, some companies don't bother with that bit.
