- Free Sight Tests- Of course you can expect a free sight test if you need it at your local Optegra hospital!
- Refer a Friend Bonus- We know our staff love working here and hope they want to spread the word! Which is why, if they introduce a new employee to the business, they get a bonus of up to £2000 when they start with us.
- Celebrating Your Anniversaries- We value loyalty and commitment which is why we express our appreciation to longstanding employees by rewarding them with gift vouchers to mark every five years of service. The vouchers increase in value the longer they are with us – all they need to do is decide what to spend it on!
