Asda is the best kept secret in the optical world because of our unique pricing on glasses. We don’t charge any extra for thinner lenses or varifocals if a patient’s prescription requires this. Our patients love this and so do our professionals, as they can focus on delivering what their patients needs without worrying if it is affordable. Our patients also like the fact they can visit us, hand in their prescription to the pharmacy, have their eyes checked and do their shopping in one trip. All 157 of our stores fit that one-stop-shop concept, and we have big plans for future growth. Our teams build highly rewarding roles in the heart of their communities, along with enjoying a wide range of benefits including paid GOC fees, CPD programs and professional indemnity insurance.
