👓 Spot a familiar face? 👨🏻‍🦳😁

If you think you recognise this gentleman… you probably do! This is Robyn’s dad, he popped into the practice today to collect his new specs 🤓

Working at an independent opticians means we get to look after our local community every day - but it is extra special when we get to take care of our own families, too! 💕

Robyn gave her dad the full VIP treatment, and helped him to find the perfect frames, we think he looks ace 😁

This silhouette frame gives him that maximum comfort he was looking for with its super light weight frame but adds splash of colour to keep in the fun 🤩 Good pick Rob👍🏼😁

When your glasses match your personality, magic happens!🪄✨👓

Ciara just picked up her fabulous new LINDBERG frames today, She’s chosen an absolute showstopper: bright red, ultra-thin acetate front paired with electric fuschia pink titanium sides. This frame just screams style 😍💖

LINDBERG is famous for being incredibly light weight, but Ciara proves that “light as air” doesn’t mean compromising on colour! This striking red - and- pink combination is bold, fearless and full of personality and we think you rock it Ciara 😍

Arlen collecting his new Dutz eyewear frames 🧡 Skipping the standard, boring neutrals and going straight for this super funky pair in khaki green and we think they look great! 🌱

Dutz is famous for its contemporary Dutch design, and Arlen’s new look perfectly blends edgy style with everyday comfort. It is proof that prescription eyewear can - and should - be a statement piece that shows off your true personality. 👓

Welcome to the Steel & Varley family Arlen we had so much fun dispensing these with you, so nice to do something a bit out of the ordinary ☺️

Sometimes sunnies can be too dark in the shade or too light in bright sun, What if they were smart enough to change with the light around you? 😎

We have the perfect solution!

Robyn collected her new sunnies with our new ZEISS AdaptiveSun lenses.

ZEISS AdaptiveSun lenses use photochromic technology to adapt to different light intensities - fast. They change from dark to very dark again in as little as 18 to 35 seconds.

Get clever protection and vision correction in a range of solid and gradient colours- and add polarisation to see the world without harsh glare 😎☀️ Giving you the best of both worlds 🌎

Frame Two: A dedicated single vision pair by Paul Costello tailored specifically for near vision and reading that smaller print.

Looking sharp Tom! Thank you for choosing independent 👓
