Specsavers has been around for more than 30 years now, having started back in 1984. The founders, Doug and Mary Perkins, opened their first Specsavers stores in the UK. The goal was to provide an array of stylish glasses at prices that anyone could afford. By July 1988, they had hit the milestone of opening up 100 stores. They now have stores in Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and of course, Australia. Plus, you can find their shops in many other countries as well.
With 153 stores across Australia, you’re spoilt for choice in which location you want to visit. Customers can now find a Specsavers in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Brisbane. For those who love shopping online to see what’s on offer, they have the full range online at specsavers.com.au. See what style of glasses you’re interested in before you head instore to try them on. You can even try them on virtually to see what they would look like on your face to make purchasing glasses online more straightforward than ever before.
Not quite fitting neatly into a shopping category, Specsavers come under the ‘Other’ category of stores. If you want to see which other shops are in this range, take a look at Autobarn, Baby Bunting, Big W, Cheap as Chips, Harris Scarfe, Innovations, Kmart, Myer, Petbarn and Repco.
Specsavers has specialised opticians onsite to make sure that your eyes are in the best health possible. They can prescribe lens prescriptions to help you see as you should. Eye tests are often the first place that medical conditions relating to the eyes are picked up. That’s why it is so essential that you have your eyes regularly tested even if you feel that your vision has not changed.
