Have you thought about working in the optical industry because it offers so many opportunities? However, if you want to work closely with clients and provide them with eye care solutions, many factors are at play.

These days you can buy pretty much everything online, right? But for some things, it’s best not to go that way. Glasses, for instance. There are many reasons why you should select your prescription eyewear in a brick-and-mortar shop, where real, qualified humans can assist you not only with your choice of frames but, most importantly, advise you on the crucial selection of the lenses that will improve your vision.

Eyewear is a broad category that includes everything from spectacles to performance eye protectors. Different quality standards may apply to different eyewear depending on the type and intended purpose. However, durability and product safety remain important considerations across the board. As experts in the field, we at The Spectacle Shoppe conduct a wide range of performance tests and lab tests for all types of eyewear. We can help you ensure that your product meets the quality and safety requirements of your destination market, as well as all applicable international standards.

Sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory, and they come in various looks and styles. But, aside from being an essential style accessory, sunglasses offer countless benefits to your eyes, vision, and the skin around your eyes.

But there is the sunglasses conundrum. Switching from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses can be a pain. You always have to remember to bring your sunnies with you and it’s easy to lose them (or your glasses) when it’s time…

You go online or walk into an eyewear store and the choices for glasses can seem endless. Is there a trick for how to choose glasses? Should you just grab the first pair that appeals to you or is it better to spend hours trying all of the frames on? As experts in helping customers choose the best eyeglass frames, we can tell you that, no, you don’t need to try on hundreds of frames or settle for the first ones to catch your eye. By keeping some key things in mind, you can narrow down your options and find…

A number of sports require protective gear, ranging from full-on pads and helmets to just a mouthguard or shin guards. However, many times, the eyes are left exposed, as it’s not all that common for protective sports eyewear to be mandated. Often, only people who normally wear prescription eyeglasses will turn to sports glasses. Yet, anyone can benefit from them. Today, we’re discussing eye safety for athletes and sharing tips to protect your vision. THE PREVALENCE OF SPORTS-RELATED EYE INJURIES It’s estimated that around 30,000 sports-related eye injuries are seen at the emergency room in the United States every year. It also…

While face shape and lifestyle will play a big part in deciding on the perfect eyeglass frames for you, your personality and personal style are also important factors to consider. One of the things we pride ourselves on at our Kerrisdale eyewear store is helping our customers pick out the most flattering and functional frames. While nothing beats getting help from an eyewear pro at the Spectacle Shoppe, we thought we’d have a little fun by putting together a quiz to determine which eyeglass frames match your personality. Write down your answers and then tally them at the end for…

More and more people are working from home in an effort to practice social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic. For many, having all meetings and communications via computer, tablet or phone is a huge change.
