Episode

Feast your eyes on the frames to grab a bargain

25% OFF!!!

Just a little post it note to let you know there is a sale starting in Holley Optometrists on Tuesday 3rd January!

Remember all the lovely frames you’ve been looking at on my blog?!….

…well there is 25% off them all and that includes the designer Sunnies as well!

You won’t have to choose from a ‘selected range’ because the sale applies to every single frame in the practice!

What a good way to start the new year! N’est pas?!

Did you happen to notice her sunglasses?!

Because I did!

An exact replica had just arrived in the practice, for the new Dior collection and I’d been trying them on.

Then lo and behold, Michelle Williams is on my screen, rocking them as part of her Marylin look!

So this is the black version from Dior…

But they also come in lush turquoise…

Or what about an everyday opthalmic look?!

I even spotted this one in the Rayban collection!

or in brown…

So now you have no excuses for not channelling your inner starlet!

Awww I’m just kidding….but you are the beneficiary of her hard work!

A whole stack of new frames has arrived and she has been a busy bee getting them priced and onto the shelves.

New Gucci, Dior and Carrera…..such treats!

Come and see…….

They are on the shelves and awaiting your approval!

Today I have been doing a little bit of research for my boss. We’re looking for some kiddies books to update our collection and I have come across some delights!

For the most part we find that children love getting glasses, particularly if family members already wear them but if you’re looking for some literature to help them come to terms with spectacle wear or other eye conditions, then take at look at the books below.

Look out for the one that focuses on having to wear a patch and there is a really beautiful one about having a lazy eye.

‘Glasses, who needs em’ by Lane Smith

‘Princess Peepers’ by Pam Calvert

‘I really absolutely must have glasses (Charlie and Lola)’ by Lauren Child

‘The Patch’ by Justina Chen Headley

‘My Travelin’ Eye’ by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw

‘The Eye Book’ by Dr Seuss

‘Who wears glasses’ by Ana Galan

All of these books are available at Amazon, if you want to read the book reviews or even purchase a copy for yourself! I’ve linked all the titles for you to make it easier to navigate there!

Soooo, as promised, check out some of the trendiest frames for your mini-me’s!

A little bit of Gucci.

Or Junior Rayban.

Or the kiddies William Morris range – Young Wills.

As you can see they are small but perfectly formed – just like your little ones!

A new day has dawned in Holley Optometrists – eye tests will never be the same again!

We have been consistently ahead of the game, when it comes to offering you the latest optical developments and this month is no different as we launch our new eye examination.

Up to now, we have only been able to see the tip of the iceberg, with regard to your eyes.

But from 12th August 2011, our new OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) scanner will show us what’s beneath!

This 3D scan will show every layer of the eye, flagging up problems like diabetes, glaucoma, vitreous detachments & macular degeneration…..

…..early detection and prompt treatment can often prevent avoidable long term damage.

Previously only available with eye specialists in hospitals, the OCT scanner has hit the high street and we are leading the way in offering this valuable technology to you.

The introductory price for this service, if you’re one of our patients, will be £10.00 – such a bargain as you can pay up to £50.00 at private eye specialist clinics.

The scan is completely safe and only takes a few moments.

Don’t worry if you’re not one of our patients! We are more than happy to offer this service to everyone.

Did you know that spectacles are a desirable fashion commodity in primary aged kids?

We often have kids trying to fake their eye test so that they can have spectacles!!

It’s a positive sign – the ‘specky four eyes’ stigma is gone….

…and we carry some gorgeous, stylish ones in our range, whatever your budget. No more pink and brown NHS range!!!

These are all part of our NHS range which means they are free – you dont pay a penny…even for repairs or replacements (up to age 16)!

It’s just a little taster of our stock; the visual equivalent of an ‘amuse bouche’(….yes, I have been watching too many episodes of Come Dine With Me!)

There’s plenty more to come…I’ll show you some fab kids brands next time!

Tootle pip!

Love Little Miss Holley xx

The word is on your lips…the word is on everyone’s lips…and that word is retro! There is no escaping it – retro is just the word of the moment – everything has a retro edge to it…..

It’s beginning to feel like nothing is new under the sun and the fashion eye seems firmly fixed on it’s rear view mirror, as it moves everything forward…

Every brand in our practice, has produced styles for their collections that are retro inspired…some not even inspired but just directly copied!

I love it!

There are so many aspects of days long since gone, that I am more than happy to revisit.

So men, this one is for you. Come with me and let me show you some of our retro delights…you too can be a devastating man!
