Mission As part of the Essilor family, Vision Direct shares the group vision of improving lives by improving sight. We’re working together, towards a world where everyone can enjoy healthy, clear vision.
Description Healthy vision helps open the doors to education, work, sport and so much more. That’s why Vision Direct is committed to delivering great low prices, fast delivery and exceptional service for thousands of prescription eyewear customers across Europe every month.
Founded by passionate opticians in 1998, Vision Direct was the UK’s first online only contact lens supplier. Thanks to a winning strategy of acquisitions and organic growth, we are now Europe’s leading online contact lens retailer, employing more than 150 people across different countries. Vision Direct’s focus on quality products, speedy delivery and an award-winning customer service has made us the trusted choice of more than 1.5m customers in the UK, the US, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Belgium, who now enjoy top brands at prices up to 45% cheaper than high-street opticians. Vision Direct’s commitment to helping people save on their eye care every month and deliver exceptional service has rewarded the company with a 9.6 rating on TrustPilot.
We’re proud to support the communities we’re a part of, working together with charities, organisations and local leaders to make a difference wherever we can.
