Hi, my name is Roger Sercombe. I qualified as a dispensing optician in 1991.  I'm passionate about helping customers look great in their glasses. Anyone wishing to discuss their glasses  can  come and see me for advice at  the practice or email me confidentially  at rogerwork@opticians.co.nz. I'll endeavour to give useful answers to your questions and will do my best to answer emails promptly.

When you're choosing glasses the frame is important but the lenses are even more  important  Your choice will have a dramatic impact on  the usefulness of your glasses in your day-to-day life and on how well you see. I've written three case studies to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages associated with different kinds of lenses and the importance of professional advice. They should also give you a better understanding of the available options. As you'll see, it may be necessary to have more than one pair of glasses to meet all your visual requirements
