The good news is that despite Covid, most markets have opened. The optical community is leading by example, ensuring that the safety of the consumer is paramount. And with the next year not so far away, there’s a certain amount of optimism that can be felt everywhere.
We have a special interview this time with the Director of Design at Silhouette International, Roland Keplinger. He shares insights into the creative processes that go behind the making of these fascinating eyewear designs.
In this issue, we also have a discussion on Kids and Vision Care and an opinion feature that throws light on whether lenses and the online space can ever meet. In Trends, we feature Round frames and Brand Profile features the ultimate classic, Ray-Ban. Then there are features on Glaucoma and Keratoconus that would help you be more aware about these conditions.
The Off The Shelf and Blogspot would keep you updated about the latest and for more updates please do log in regularly to our social media channels.
Stay tuned!
