HC Deb 25 July 1944 vol 402 c601W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements exist for replacing the spectacles of soldiers which may be broken in the course of military operations.

Sir J. Grigg

Prescriptions for spectacles are received at base depots of medical stores in Base Areas and on the Lines of Communication, and at special ophthalmic sections in general hospitals in the Corps or Army Areas. The spectacles are prepared by opticians and issued from these medical units.
