Hi, my name is Roger Sercombe. I qualified as a dispensing optician in 1991. One of my passions in optics is helping customers look and feel great in their spectacles. Anyone wishing to discuss his or her vision or spectacle difficulties can email me confidentially for qualified professional advice about their situation at rogerwork@opticians.co.nz

Apart from frame selection, one very important factor is the lens selected. The lens chosen dramatically affects the versatility of the spectacles, and how appropriate they are to your lifestyle and your visual situation. I'll endeavour, using my experience and enthusiasm to give useful answers to any questions that you may have. All correspondence comes directly to me so I will do my best to respond as quickly as I can. In all cases I hope that my advice is taken with you, on your next visit to your local optician, optometrist or doctor.

Naturally I would like to see you here in the store, to go into the options available and show you frames, lenses or contacts from our extensive range, but with the World Wide Web this is often going to be geographically impractical. While every effort is made to give you accurate information, myself Roger Sercombe, and Sercombe and Matheson Opticians Ltd cannot be held liable for any advice given over the Internet.

Below are 3 examples of in store situations often presented to me. My aim here is to show you the importance of experienced advice, most important when you need to make that all-important decision on a new pair of spectacles or eye health-vision query. In certain situations it is best understood that no lens does every thing 100%, but instead is a compromise. For this reason it is often necessary to have more than one pair of spectacles to fulfil the many differing tasks we are subjected to today.

I trust the examples below help you to get a better understanding of the options available to you:

Thanks again,
Roger Sercombe
