Transforming your vision

Words Kathy Hunter | Images Tony Brownjohn

The good news? A spectacle prescription belongs to the patient, allowing them the freedom to purchase glasses from any source. It’s a big decision and often requires advice, so where should you start?

Unlike optical shop assistants, a Registered Dispensing Optician has extensive training not only to interpret prescriptions accurately but also to help individuals feel confident and comfortable with their eyewear choices. The title ‘Dispensing Optician’ is protected, and only registered practitioners can use it; they must also stay updated with advancements in lens technology and design.

Pene Fox of Bespectacled in Ti Point is a Registered Dispensing Optician who is highly qualified, with decades of experience and a deep understanding of lenses and frames. Her passion is to make choosing eyewear an empowering experience by taking the time to understand the client's style, needs, and preferences, and support them throughout the process.

Pene’s clients love her remarkable knack for finding frames that accentuate their best facial features and fit perfectly; the constant compliments from friends and family are nice too! For Pene it’s about restoring a sense of identity and ensuring her clients feel seen and valued. It helps that Bespectacled stocks a fabulous range of the latest frames sourced both locally and from around the globe.

“Getting new glasses should be exciting!” Pene says. “It can’t be rushed and you need to feel you’ve explored all the options; and when we find the right pair, it can be truly transformational.” Clients have told her they felt like they were becoming invisible as they aged, but with their new glasses, they feel they’ve regained their personality – and even a renewed zest for life.

Choosing new glasses is an important, long- term investment in both vision and personal style. As a Dispensing Optician, Pene provides the very best advice, transforming not only how clients see the world but also how they see themselves.
