The clocks go back this Sunday, and suddenly we're driving home in the dark again. 🌧️🚗
Wet roads, oncoming headlights and darker evenings can make driving more challenging.
If night driving is becoming more difficult, it's worth mentioning.
An eye test is a good place to start.

📞 Call 01708 221086 to book your eye test.

£300 for a pair of glasses? 😳

It can sound like a lot at the till.

But think about how often you wear them. They're usually the first thing on in the morning and the last thing off at night.

Swipe through for the sums. 👉

However you look at it, we want you to leave with something you're happy with, at a price that feels right.

Pop into store and have a chat. Or give us a ring on 01708 221086.

When Lee met Shane...👓😎

It was great to have our TAG Heuer rep, Shane, in store for a personalised visit - and even better to have him meet one of our customers, Lee, who's an avid fan of TAG Heuer glasses.

Lee got the chance to see the new collection up close and personal, and let's just say there was plenty to talk about! 👌

It's always great to bring our customers closer to the brands they love and give them the opportunity to discover what's new.

If there's a brand you love, please do let us know.
