Specsavers began 40 years ago with the vision of two optometrists, Doug and Mary Perkins, who set out to provide best-value eyecare to everybody.Their passion for optometry has led Specsavers to become the largest privately-owned optical group in the world, delivering high-quality, affordable optical and hearing care in 11 countries. And it continues to shape the lives and experience of around 41,000 colleagues who are developing their careers with us across the globe.
