Can't think of a better way to kick off the month than by introducing Cora. This fabulous young lady collected her first pair of spectacles today and I think you'll all agree, she's nailed the look! Cora went for this rich purple/ wine colour tone frame and wisely chose to pair it with hi inex (slimmed down lenses). When selecting the frame and lenses for our most important patients, we have a few extra factors to consider. We will often advise to slim down the lenses. This isn't just for cosmetic reasons. Thinning the lenses leaves spectacles lighter and as children's noses and bridges are still just developing, we don't want anything to hinder that process. We also like to see the eyes as central in the frame as possible . A child's visual system needs to " learn" how to use the help spectacles provide in order that vision may develop to it's full potential. In the early days of adaption, those mischievous little eyes can sometimes try and sneak a little look over the top of the frame. Selecting a frame like the one Cora chose, virtually eliminate the change to " look over the top". The cherry on the cake was Cora's decision to add an anti reflective finish to her lenses. This allows about 10% more light to enter her eye versus uncoated lenses. It also practically eliminates reflections from the surface of the lenses ensuring we have an uninterrupted view of her mesmerising eyes, in person and in photographs 😍. Cora, enjoy the rock star attention you're going to get with this fab look and thank you for trusting us with your eyecare. You're welcome back for little adjustments or to have them tightened any times
