INDEPENDENT opticians chain Patrick and Menzies has taken on new staff as it develops its sports vision and vision in learning services.

Aaron Titmus from Great Dunmow joins the East Anglia-based company from Vision Express where he will be practising as an optometrist, with specialisms in colorimetry and sports vision.

His skills will help adults and children with dyslexia, and support amateur and professional sportsmen and women reach their goals.

Gavin Rebello, Director of Patrick and Menzies, said: “We're investing in the future to support our customer-base. We work in partnership with a number of local schools, helping children overcome reading difficulties, and our sports vision division has just received an additional boost when we gained British Olympic Association status.”
