Glasses

Does Royal Mail contribute to the cost of glasses? The optician told me to keep all receipts, as many companies now pay a percentage to the cost.

Half the people in my office need glasses
All the missorts I get
Letters and packets in the wrong streets
Walking back and forth - letters for 3 doors back you've just done

I think eye test vouchers are only covered if you work on a computer all day and glasses if they are actually needed to use that computer.

Agreed! I get this ALL the time. I just take them back to the office and deliver tomorrow. Not walking back 10 houses

If it's mech letters then it might be worth having a chat with whoever deals with A+ at your DO and going through the entries on the A+ for your walk to see if the A+ data is correct

10% off Specsavers vouchers is the closest you can get.

Why not go to a high street opticians for your eye test and prescription, and then buy your glasses online.

I got mine from Glasses Direct and they're excellent and a lot cheaper.

Was the optician trying to shift a more expensive pair of frames etc giving you the hope that you wouldn’t have to pay full price because of work by any chance haha

Im at 'that age' where the smaller the print its harder to read, but instead of spending loads you can buy cheapie reading glasses for around £2-99 at BHM/BOOTS/TESCOS etc, they are not prescription glasses and some are different magnifications up to x 4, i find the plain x 1 or 1.5 are perfectly adequate, perfect for small print envelopes in fading light, i have loads of old pairs laying around and they are so cheap it doesnt really matter if you break or loose a pair.
