AN OPTICIANS based in Thornbury and Yate has introduced a cutting edge new way of selecting and fitting glasses – using imaging software on tablet devices.

Following an eye examination, the optical team assists customers in selecting their preferred glasses.

Imaging software on a tablet is then used to take an image of them wearing the glasses, which in turn captures a range of essential dispensing measurements. These are unique to the customer and their chosen glasses.

Khairul Rahman, director of Specsavers in Thornbury said: “This is very clever kit and has a real wow factor for customers. It’s a quick and easy process which ensures a perfect fit every time.

“The tablet can also be used to show you what you look like wearing a range of different glasses to help you make your choice.

“The intelligent software also helps you choose by any lens options you might want, by demonstrating what they do in real time.”
