Cost, value, iPads, spectacles and all that jazz

I found myself having conversations about the cost of eyewear again yesterday. Firstly with Academy Eyewear  which is offering Sunwise frames and Shamir lenses as an affordable sports vision option.

Next it was up to town and a discussion with the FMO which endorsed the view that professional time has to be charged for properly and not be loaded onto optical products.

It just so happened that I had to get a cover for an iPad while up in London so headed for the Apple Store. The iPad is a wonder of modern technology. WiFi, crystal graphics, computing power and everything the web has to offer in a package the size of a book for £500.
