One pair of glasses is never enough.

James has been wearing his glasses for just over five months now and the difference they have made to his life is remarkable – in fact we cannot count the benefits he has gained from them. The greatest change we have seen has been to his school work and his reading ability; of course if you cannot see the words on the page you cannot learn to read them! he gets one pair of free glasses on the NHS and is already on to his second pair as he needed a slightly stronger prescription and the frames on the first pair got bent during some physical sibling-rivalry…

So we are looking for a pair of discount prescription glasses as a backup set seeing as he really needs them to play in his football coaching sessions each week – taking them off leaves him unable to see the ball to kick it. The pair he is using right now have also gone a bit askew in the frames – well they are free so we don’t expect brilliant quality – but we have found that one pair is not enough when they have to survive the school playground.
