A family-run business has celebrated 75 years of success with a party.
Staff and customers toasted Scrivens Opticians and Hearing Care, in Manford Way in Chigwell, on Friday.
As well as treating people to tea and cakes, the shop collected money for charity.
Branch manager Nichola Ford said: “We are proud to be part of Scrivens Opticians which was founded 75 years ago and is still a family business to this day.”
On the day, 75p from all eye tests went to Optometry Giving Sight charity, which helps people in countries without easy access to opticians.
