§ Mr. HayhoeThere will be a small range of vouchers with values related to the powers of different groups of lenses. The amount of financial help will therefore depend on the severity of the patient's eyesight problem but is intended to provide for the purchase of a basic pair of spectacles related to the individual's needs.
