“Health is becoming increasingly important to our customers and they look to Tesco to provide a range of convenient and affordable products and services that suit their different lifestyles.
“We are already helping with healthier food ranges, better information and services such as tescodiets on-line and now contact lenses. Our pharmacies are key to meeting our customers healthcare needs and will be at the heart of our drive to offer high quality, low cost and convenient health services in the future.”
Lenses will only be issued where customers provide a current in-date specification from an Optician.
