Eye Health and Innovation: The Body Doctor LifeMeter Screening at Respectacle

At Respectacle Company, we have built a reputation for doing things a little differently – and we couldn’t be prouder of it. As an independent, award-winning optician nestled in the heart of Market Harborough, we blend expert eyecare with unique, high-quality frame collections together with a welcoming atmosphere that puts our patients first.

Earlier this year, we organised a LifeMeter Screening Day in conjunction with The Body Doctor, and it was so well-received that we invited them back to host another day dedicated to proactive eye health, education, and community care. Held in early October, the event brought together innovation and expertise to empower our patients with a deeper understanding of ocular health. But also, how diet and lifestyle choices can influence overall wellbeing, particularly eye health.

But this time, I wanted to shine a light on Manor Walk. As well as being our home and a wonderful place to work, Manor Walk is also home to a diverse range of interesting, independent businesses, tucked away in a lovely little shopping precinct, just a short stroll from the centre of Market Harborough.

Why Continuity of Care Matters When It Comes to Your Eye Health

Eye Health

We all know regular eye care is important, but sometimes it takes a real-life example to drive the point home. I want to share a story about one of our customers that highlights just how essential continuity of care is when it comes to your eye health. It’s a great reminder of why cutting corners to try and save money can cost you more in the long run.

Our customer had previously purchased a lovely pair of FEB31st glasses. FEB31st is a handmade bespoke wooden eyewear brand, so this was reflected in the price of the frame. At the time of purchase, we took the time to ensure that the customer was happy with their new eyewear. Fast forward a couple of years, and the customer was due for an eye examination.
