Today we now have over 559 stores across the UK and Ireland. A lot of things have changed over the years, but our number one goal has stayed the same. To provide you with the very best service, tailor made to your needs within friendly and welcoming surroundings. We also sell glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses and eye care products and accessories in store and online with free home delivery. We welcome you to browse our large selection of designer and exclusive brands. At Vision Express we aim to offer you more, for less than you'd expect. Learn more about our brand ambition. The bigger picture Although we very much remain a distinct brand, in 1997 Vision Express became part of leading international optical retail group GrandVision NV. Operating over 7000 stores in 44 countries across the globe, GrandVision has more than 37,000 employees. GrandVision’s commitment to our long-term support allows us to invest not only in our business and our people, but the very latest optical testing technology. The latest example of this is the introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in an increasing number of our stores. Adding a whole new dimension to your eye test, OCT imaging can detect the very early signs of retinal eye conditions and diseases, as well as wider health issues. Our wider focus To raise awareness about caring for your eyes across the UK and Ireland, we are proud to support a range of charities which provide vital support to people affected by sight loss and other eye conditions.
