27 July 2011 - Getting New Spectacles Dispensed The Frith Way.

It is easy to think that the eye examintaion is the only important bit of eyecare but actually, should you need them, the dispensing of your new spectacles is of equal importance. How you are guided in choice of frame and lenses, and how they are measured and fitted is massively important. After all these are going to be on your nose day after day, month after month, for a very long time.

We always try to put something back into all parts of the community and so when Yeovil College media department asked if they could create a film for part of the student's degree project I was happy to oblige. The result is a video showing how dispensing a new pair of spectacles is carried out in Robert Frith Optometrists in Blandford. Click here to see the result.
