Specsavers’ flagship West End store has been relocated to a new “high-tech” location on Tottenham Court Road following a £1.2 million investment.

The optical retail chain said that the new store has the latest diagnostic testing equipment, as well as digital screens showcasing its offers.

Specsavers has been situated in the West End for more than 26 years, with the company previously situated at another location on Tottenham Court Road.

The new stie includes "state-of-the-art" equipment, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which enables optometrists to take a 3D image of the back of the eye to help spot serious eye conditions, including glaucoma, up to four years earlier than traditional methods.

There is also a dedicated audiology centre with a soundproof booth for customers to have their hearing checked, coupled with the latest micro-suction equipment for wax removal.

There are now five consulting rooms, one diagnostic testing area and a contact lens station offering enhanced facilities to customers.

The store holds four sight clinics a day plus daily hearing clinics.

"Specsavers has been proud to serve the West End for many years, and this new store is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to the local community," said Specsavers co-founder Dame Mary Perkins. "We’re delighted to continue building strong relationships here, offering trusted care and creating a welcoming space for everyone who walks through our doors."
