Actress Kara Tointon celebrates glasses wearers with the launch of Specsavers Ireland's nationwide search for the Spectable Wearer of the Year 2011.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' winner and former 'Eastenders' star is helping Specsavers find ordinary people who look extraordinary in their glasses.
Tointon said: "I love wearing my glasses so I am very excited to be launching this year's competition. It's amazing how a pair of glasses can completely change your look. They can transform you from dowdy to fabulous in a flash!
"In my own case, glasses are my friend because not only have they helped me see, they have also helped me counter my dyslexia through the use of coloured lenses which aid me in learning my lines for acting out scenes."
As well as fronting the campaign, Kara is supporting anti-bullying charity Kidscape. Specsavers will donate €1 for every eligible competition entry to the charity, as well as all proceeds from an auction led by Specsavers ambassador Gok Wan, which will take place at the competition final in London in November.
To enter the competition visit your local Specsavers store, or log on to www.specsavers.ie/competition or www.facebook.com/Specsaversireland.
