To celebrate 40 years of Christopher Young Opticians in Shepton Mallet, we’re sharing a special anniversary offer with all our customers.
Buy two complete pairs of glasses and we’ll give you the lenses in your second pair free. That means you could save between £150 and £800, depending on the lenses you choose.
Offer available from 8th September to 31st October 2026.
Choose two complete pairs of glasses, including frames and lenses, and we’ll give you the lenses in your second pair completely free.
There’s no compromise on quality. Your free lenses can be the same value and quality as the lenses in your first pair.
You can also choose different lenses for each pair. If one set of lenses is more expensive than the other, we’ll give you the lowest-priced lenses free.
A second pair gives you the freedom to choose glasses for a different purpose or to switch up your style.
If you usually go for a classic everyday look, why not choose a bolder, more stylish pair for special occasions? With the low autumn and winter sun, it’s also a great time to invest in prescription sunglasses for driving. Or you might choose a dedicated pair for computer work or hobbies, helping you stay comfortable for longer.
Our team will be happy to talk through the options and help you find two pairs that work for you.
The amount you save will depend on the type of lenses you wear.
Single vision lenses: save between £150 and £475
Varifocal lenses: save between £245 and £800
The offer is available on Essilor single vision, occupational and varifocal lenses.
Our 40th anniversary offer is available to all our customers whether long-standing or brand new.
Simply book an appointment in September or October and let our team know you’d like to take advantage of the special offer.

Optometrist
Chris qualified as an optometrist virtually before time began. He has worked in the practice since it opened in 1986 and now specialises in Vision Therapy. In his spare time he is a member of the local Masonic Lodge and enjoys sailing, watching rugby and cricket as well as sampling Single Malts and red wine.

Optometrist and Dry Eye Specialist
After finishing a degree in Biology at Southampton University Rebecca went on to study Optometry at Cardiff University and completed her pre-registration at Williams & Parry Opticians in heart of the Welsh valleys.
Rebecca still keeps a strong affiliation with Cardiff University and has returned as a part-time clinical supervisor and also as an organiser/participant in the ‘Returning Vision Moldova Project’. This non-profit University associated project involves visiting remote and impoverished communities in Moldova and providing eye exams and glasses to those in need.
Always keen to expand her knowledge Rebecca has consistently completed extra accreditation in optometry since graduating; most recently the post-graduate certificate in Independent Prescribing for Optometrists.
After meeting a particularly charming West-Country man 6 years ago Rebecca migrated across the Severn bridge and has resided very happily in the Mendip area ever since. Of course being Welsh she is an avid Rugby fan and during any international match she is easily recognisable at her local pub for sporting the only red shirt in the house!

Manager & Eyewear Advisor
Tracy worked for Tesco on the customer service desk for many years before joining us in 2014. In her spare time she enjoys walking and travel, particularly to the USA.

Audiologist and Hearing Aid Consultant
Nikisha has been a fully qualified audiologist for more than seven years, having graduated from the University of Bristol in Summer 2012. After gaining her degree, she worked as part of a fantastic NHS team in Bath for two years, which greatly developed her clinical expertise.
Following her time in the NHS, Nikisha wanted to broaden her knowledge further, and so five years ago moved into the private sector, where she has been able to continue to build her extensive skillset.
“I decided to venture out and join the team at The Hearing Care Partnership because they are renowned for delivering great customer service and great technology to their clients, which is something I wanted to be part of. In addition, working alongside optical practice teams was an intriguing proposition, and a whole new experience for me.
“When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my daughter. I also really enjoy a good mystery or crime book – Harlan Coben is one of my favourite authors!”

Optical Assistant
Kay has had many years of customer service, both in retail and Doctor’s surgeries. She is happiest when walking in the Somerset countryside with her dog.

Eyewear Stylist and Dry Eye Technician
