Studio Optical

This is why we do what we do.

You're probably coming to the Tweedmill tomorrow anyway.

We're on the first floor, and we don't always open on a Sunday. Tomorrow we are.

If you've been meaning to sort your glasses out for a couple of years and keep not getting round to it, this is the easiest version of that.

Come up, have a look, no appointment needed for the styling.
Half an hour, free, nothing to buy. Bring the glasses you're wearing now and we'll tell you honestly what's working and what isn't, then put you in six things you'd never have picked up yourself. Most people are surprised by at least one.
If you'd rather have a proper eye examination, we have a few appointments tomorrow as well — 90 minutes, one person at a time, no queue and no clock.
10am to 4pm. First floor, at the Mill Clinic
Call 01745 619343 or just come up.

Mo and Aisha, Studio Optical.

Why are some glasses more expensive than others?

It's a fair question and the honest answer is more interesting than most people expect.

Most glasses sold in Britain come from a handful of very large factories. They're made competently, in enormous numbers, often by injection-moulding plastic into a shape. The name on the arm is usually a fashion house licensing its logo rather than anyone who designs or makes eyewear. There's nothing wrong with any of this if this is what you like.

The frames we stock are made differently. Acetate is a cotton-based material that comes in solid blocks, and the better makers cut each frame from the block and then tumble-polish it for days. That's why the colour has depth and movement in it rather than sitting flat on the surface. Titanium frames are cut and formed rather than cast, which is why they weigh almost nothing and still hold their shape.

Three things follow from that, and you notice all of them around hour twelve of wearing them rather than in the first five minutes.

1-They're lighter.
2-They're better balanced, so they stop sliding down.
3-And they hold an adjustment, which means the fit you walk out with is the fit you still have next spring.

The last part is the bit nobody mentions. A frame that holds its adjustment is a frame you forget you're wearing. That's what you're actually buying.

Come and pick one up. It's the kind of thing you can feel before you can see it.

"I wasn't a fan of going to the opticians until now. I was made to feel relaxed and treated like a VIP. Mo opened my eyes to glasses that actually suit me through a styling consultation I had never experienced before. I absolutely love my new glasses and actually wear them."

That last part is the bit that matters. Actually wear them.
Not left in a drawer. Not only for reading. Worn, and enjoyed.

That's what we're for.

3 👓 frame 👓 mistakes that add ten years. We see all three every week.

1. Frames that are too small. Faces get fuller with age. Small frames make them look fuller still.

2. Rimless because it's "discreet." Rimless doesn't hide glasses. It removes the one thing that was framing and lifting your eyes.

3. The same shape you've worn since 1998. Your face has changed. The frame hasn't.
The fix isn't spending more. It's being shown the right six frames instead of the wrong three hundred.

That's what a styling session is. 01745 619343.
