In this issue of Eyes, our Business Matters feature focuses on a very important subject; how to make optical practices more inclusive. While the will is certainly there, and great strides have been made in terms of legislation, grey areas can be confusing. So we’ve put together a feature with plenty of small, cost aware but effective suggestions on how to make your practice user friendly for everyone.

Also in this issue we look at the way that sports sunglasses are bridging the divide and becoming the choice for fashion conscious consumers. This is a win-win for opticians, considerably broadening the appeal of this market sector. We also take a look at the everlasting appeal of gold, finding out why consumers are so attracted to this particular colour.

In a complementary feature to sports sunglasses we find out more about contact lenses that offer UV protection and find plenty of room for growth. Also well worth considering is the new generation of high tech digital centration devices. In a world where everyone is glued to their phone or tablet, dispensing with rulers just doesn’t cut it any more!
