Lenses: The lens year that was

MH: What were the specific challenges to providing practices and patients with lenses in 2022?

MB: I would say there are two points. The first is that we have noticed quite a demand in speedy turnaround, especially where customers are supplying their own lenses and just send them over for glazing. We certainly do our best to accommodate where necessary and ensure that the service is especially quick with no compromise on quality. These are almost always completed within one working day. The second point is that I have noticed an increase in demand for in-line supra styles, especially Lindberg, Silhouette and Mykita models. They can be particularly demanding if there are no releasing screws and lenses are held in purely by tension. It can be a challenge to insert lenses to these frame types without chipping them and ensuring that lenses are secure and do not wobble.
