In a previous blog, we introduced you to our wonderful optometrist, Tim. This time, we want to shine a spotlight on our dispensing extraordinaire, Chris, who joined the team in August 2021. Like Tim – whose blog you can read here – Chris is a valued and dedicated member of Respectacle Company.
100% Optical is the UK’s largest optical event, held annually in London. A melting pot of all things optical, the event attracts over 10,000 industry professionals keen to check out the latest innovations within the optical industry.
The event features eyewear brands showcasing their latest releases and demonstrations from leading lens manufacturers like Seiko. Optical professionals can also take part in workshops and seminars throughout the weekend. It’s a great opportunity for people in optics to learn more about eye health and gain valuable insights into business growth strategies.
The highlight for Respectacle Company was the Love Eyewear Awards, held on Saturday evening during the after-show party. These prestigious awards celebrate the dedication and creativity of the optical industry by recognising outstanding achievements in eyewear design and retail innovation.
We’re sure it comes as no surprise, but we are huge advocates for having more than one pair of glasses. It’s always quite a surprise to us when people say they only have one pair of specs when most of us rely on them to function on a day-to-day basis and carry out our daily tasks. Should your primary pair of spectacles go missing, get damaged or even break, not being able to wear your glasses will quickly become a big issue. After all, some of us need our specs to drive a car. Just think how lost you would be without your glasses?!
