Our new website has been live for almost 2 months now and we are pleased to say it’s working well with many of the teething issues now resolved, so thank you for your patience and help during this period of transition.
With many of the problems now resolved, we’re beginning to look at ways to improve the usability of the website to ensure our products are easier to find. One of the biggest changes just implemented is a new drop down list on the search results pages, this drop down list will allow our customers to refine searches by a particular designer brand (see below).
A similar drop down list has been implemented on the individual designer pages, this will allow our customers to refine the products displayed by a particular category (see below).
So that Polarised pair of Sunglasses from Ray-Ban or that Semi-Rimless frame by D&G should now be much easier to find!
Our Prescription Glasses, Designer Sunglasses, and Prescription Sunglasses pages are also receiving an early refresh, these pages will contain much more information about the products we sell and services we offer. These changes should be completed by early December.

Back in September we wrote a Blog post about D&A offering Free Eye Tests, unfortunately, that offer expired at the end of October. Fortunately, the offer is back on again!
We at SelectSpecs feel very strongly that people should get their eyes tested on a regular bases (at least every 2 years). An eye test is more than just finding out that you need to wear glasses or that your eyes have gotten worse since your last checkup. An eye test can also be a very important health check for many people.
There are a number of high profile cases in which a simple eye test has resulted in the patient’s discovery of an unknown problem with their health or even a cancer, effectively saving their life thanks to the early warnings spotted by the opticians who examined them.
£10 or £20 isn’t a lot to spend once every two years if it could save your life, but thanks to a special offer by Dollond & Aitchison Opticians, you won’t even need to spend that, as for a limited time, they are offering FREE Eye Tests when you book an appointment online. What is more, we are informed that there is no obligation to purchase glasses from them in order to receive the free eye test, allowing you to make even greater savings by purchasing your glasses online at www.selectspecs.com just remember to get a copy of your prescription.

Doom and gloom is the order of the day if what we read in the media is anything to go by with thousands of employees being made redundant week in week out, however, we at SelectSpecs.com are feeling upbeat at the moment after reading articles with great interest that report Opticians as being one of the least likely out of eight retail categories that will suffer a decline in sales caused by the current economic downturn! This is hardly surprising really when you consider many of our customers that wear glasses wear them out of necessity rather than fashion.
Findings of The Wanted Ads Retail study of over 1,000 respondents commissioned by the Newspaper Society revealed that less than a quarter (24 percent) of consumers are tightening their belts on spending on opticians. 29 percent are cutting back on toys, 39 percent are slashing their DIY or gardening budgets, and 41 percent are reining in their spending on furniture. The survey also revealed that Clothing and Fashion is set to experience the most severe slowdown with 61 percent of respondents stating that they were cutting spending in this category.
