Optrafair London in pictures

Olympia National opened its doors to optics last week for the inaugural Optrafair London show.

Inside the exhibition hall there was the opportunity to browse the latest products from the frame, lens and instrument sectors.

One such example was a demonstration of prescription frames and lenses for users of Google Glass by Waterside Laboratories, now UK reseller for New York-based Rochester Optical’s Smart Gold range.

Waterside Laboratories managing director Bob Forgan said: ‘By the end of 2018 it is estimated that Google will have sold 21 million units of their Glass and with over 50 per cent of the adult population needing some type of visual correction this has to be an area of the business that will offer phenomenal opportunities in the very near future.’
