A VISION EXPO IS a veritable smorgasbord of new products. Innovative technologies, state-of-the-art equipment, and advancements in lenses and contact lenses all with their own appeal to be sure … but few things elicit the same feelings of excitement as perusing the latest eyeglass and sunglass collections. Couple that with the unassailable fact that often when consumers think of going to the eye doctor it goes hand in hand with picking out a new pair of frames, and the optical is the bread and butter of many an eyecare business. A product mix that titillates the consumer and creates buzz among staff is a must, so in the next few pages, we’ve rounded up this season’s most temping frame introductions to enliven your dispensary or boutique.
