Cheap glasses for my daughter, size of a 2 year old, Stockport area?!
Question: My daughter needs glasses for astigmatism. She has special needs and although 5, is like a 2 year old in both development and size. In fact her head size is probably below that, she has a degree of microcephaly. We have a voucher towards it but I am on a tight budget at the moment and can't put much extra in! Plus as I don't know how long they will last, don't want to buy something expensive that may get broken in days!! Thanks. xx

I work for Vision Express (not your local branch though) and we have an excellent range of children's frames available and most are completely free to you, she will get scratch resistant lenses and full UV protection all for free. She can also choose 2 pairs for her so she has a spare pair. We have a paediatrics range that have curl tips (these curl behind the child's ears to hold them in place better and makes it more difficult for them to fall off. Also because we have labs in-store we can make any adjustments if it means the sides have to be cut down, we can make them in 1 hour and because we will make the lenses we can make them really thin!
I've put the address and telephone number of your local branch below so you can pop in or call them.
