An on-line spectacle supplier and laboratory has introduced a virtual modelling software system which enables customers to select frames by viewing themselves wearing them.

Ex-Dollond & Aitchison laboratory manager Jonathan Birch, who devised FocusFix, said that he is in negotiations to work alongside two local opticians to test his idea of using the software in-practice.
