With Silmo Paris, Europe’s largest eyewear exhibition fast approaching, we thought now would be a good time to explain how we choose what eyewear brands to stock here at Respectacle Company in Market Harborough. Read more
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?!
The last week of May has seen us enjoy some lovely sunny spring days in the UK. The warmer weather is an indicator that summer is on its way. Spring is also a good time to do some cleaning, remove unnecessary clutter and take inventory of our stock.
As many of you know, we have recently undertaken a mini makeover in the shop. To minimise the impact of disruption on customers, we have carried out these improvements in stages. It has been challenging to source some of the units and display items we wanted. But things are now almost complete, and we’ll soon be able to display all our lovely frames as we envisioned.
During the first part of the year, we visit trade fairs to view the latest eyewear and equipment available on the market. But we also engage in workshops, lectures and discussion groups at these events. It is vital to keep up-to-date with new developments within the optical industry, new legislation or clinical procedures, how to treat certain eye conditions or new guidance for referring patients to the health system.
