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 most of the time it’s all about the lovely colourful ladies’ eyewear we stock. So, we thought showcasing some of our more masculine frames was long overdue.

These days, the distinction between men’s and women’s eyewear frames is less pronounced because many styles are interchangeable. However, there are still some independent eyewear brands that offer frames that are more traditionally masculine in terms of shape, size, and colour.

Here at our independent opticians in Market Harborough, we don’t tend to follow fashion trends –  they come and go quite quickly. One season, it’s all about heavy, square, black acetate frames, and a few months later, lightweight, thin, oversized metal frames are in style.
