SPECSAVERS Irvine has made a major investment to enhance its on-site laboratory facility.
The opticians have spent £25,000 on new equipment and expanding the lab space at the Rivergate Shopping Centre store.
This investment will allow the team to provide a same-day glasses service for customers.
The new state-of-the-art lens creation equipment will allow for quicker production of prescription lenses, meaning customers can get their new frames as soon as possible.
The investment has also created a new role within the lab technician team.
This expansion will allow staff to assist more customers looking to get new glasses with minimal turnaround, following their visit to the store for a routine eye test.
The new laboratory expansion follows a £350,000 store investment last year and continues the store’s commitment to providing the very best in vital eye health and audiology services for the local community.
Gordon Simpson, store director at Specsavers in Irvine, said: "We are always looking for any opportunities to expand our offering in store, to allow us to continue providing the best service we can for the eyesight of the people of Irvine.
"With this £25,000 investment in our lab, we’ve been able to increase our capacity for creating prescription lens for frames, tailor made for our customer’s needs.
"This new technology makes the process faster and simpler, meaning that we can prioritise getting frames to people as quickly as possible, helping them get on with their day without issues with their vision.
"It’s also fantastic to be able to grow our lab team at Specsavers Irvine who join lab manager Steven Brown, who will share his 18 years of technician experience in Irvine with his newly expanded team."
