The ad, by Specsavers Creative the brand's in-house team, features a space shuttle crew preparing to land.

The ad was directed by Another Film Company's Jeff Stark, who also directed April's tactical over-45s campaign, "long arms" and "lift".
The creative director and copywriter on the ad was Graham Daldry, and the deputy creative director and art director was Steve Loftus. MEC was the media agency.
Graham Daldry, Specsavers Creative's creative director, said: "This ad boldly goes where no eyesight joke has been before. It has visual scale, a strong mislead and has been superbly directed by Jeff Stark, with great production values."
