Looking at labs: TGF Optics transformed

A lot can change in two years. When Optician visited TGF Optics in Blaydon-on-Tyne at the end of 2013, the lab was run on traditional lines, providing good service to its mainly north-east client base through somewhat outdated machinery. Fast forward to the present and the differences are striking.

Although the lab is still in Blaydon, it is now located in more extensive premises in which a much larger team surfaces and glazes lenses on behalf of practices from all over the UK. Driving this huge increase in productivity is state-of-the-art equipment that has enabled the lab to provide a significantly improved service at no extra cost to its clients.
