Editor’s comment

AAs Vision Now went to press, the General Optical Council (GOC) announced a set of proposed reforms to its CPD scheme for registrants. These include replacing the minimum points-based system with one that’s more outcomes focused, and adjusting the allocation of points for different activities to reduce the volume of CPD activities needed to achieve the points.

nother notable proposal is to amend the GOC standards for optical businesses to enable them to provide CPD more easily. The regulator is also looking at more long-term modifications, subject to legislative change, including abolishing the points system entirely and its requirement to approve CPD providers.

Registrants would no doubt welcome a less prescriptive CPD scheme, but it will be important to ensure that the system isn’t ‘dumbed down’ – and standards of patient care are maintained. Whatever the outcome, registrants have until 19 April to respond to the proposals via the GOC’s online consultation hub.

Until then, NEG members will find multiple CPD opportunities at 100% Optical later this month, all relevant to eye health care. As for the exhibition, run don’t walk to NEG’s preferred supplier stands for the latest products and services aimed at enhancing independent practice. The teams from Optinet and NEG will be there on stand K10, where the latest eyewear from Charmant will also be displayed – available in the UK to NEG members only.

Finally, we are delighted to announce in this issue that NEG’s Building for Success Conference will be back in October with some truly exceptional guest speakers. For the first time, the conference will be held in partnership with the AIO, and it will be open to non-members too. Turn to this month’s Developing Thoughts to find out more…

Marchon

Fourteen years after their first collaboration, Adrien Brody is reuniting with Lacoste to become the face of its eyewear line – produced by Marchon. Since fronting the brand’s Unconventional Chic campaign in 2012, the two-time Oscar winner has regularly been associated with Lacoste. He said: “I’m honoured to join the Lacoste family as the global ambassador of their newest eyewear campaign. Lacoste has always represented style, authenticity and craftsmanship, and I’m excited to continue our friendship and collaboration with this new campaign.”

Brody is pictured wearing a modern and lightweight geometric sunglass that blends contemporary design with Lacoste heritage. It features a bio-injected front to keep the frame comfortable and easy to wear, along with acetate temples enhanced by a finely engraved metal core wire. Lacoste’s iconic metal crocodile trim provides a signature touch, while a premium seven-barrel hinge adds strength and precision to the style.

Rodenstock

BIG news from Rodenstock ahead of 100% Optical later this month is the extension of its BIG Exact Sensitive brand to include single vision and single vision plus lens options. They are also available as Ergo lenses, ideal for a second pair of spectacles for near and intermediate distance indoor tasks up to 2.5m.

NEG/Optinet

After 41 years of service to NEG and its IT division, Optinet, David Longley has announced his retirement. David was Optinet’s first employee, joining the Group in 1984. In the early days, he wrote code, installed software in practices and provided them with IT support. As the Optinet team grew, David took on the role of general manager, whilst continuing to write code and work tirelessly for its success. Over the past few years, David took more of a background role, developing NEG’s accounting software and enabling it to move to a fully electronic invoicing system.

Looking back at his past 40-plus years with the Group, David said: “I have had some wonderful experiences working with practitioners and suppliers alike, and have made some great friends.” Phil Mullins, NEG managing director, commented: “David has been a core member of the team, and without him Optinet would not be what it is today. We would like to sincerely thank him for his loyalty and service, and wish him all the happiness in the world for his welldeserved retirement.”

First offered as a progressive lens, BIG Exact Sensitive lenses integrate advanced algorithms based on the spectacle wearer’s exact biometric eye data and visual sensitivity to match their unique visual perception. Each lens is engineered from more than 7,000 biometric data points and over 80 parameters, captured with Rodenstock’s DNEye technology. The result is “an exact biometric model – the precise foundation for every BIG Exact Sensitive lens”, said the company. Each option is available in three premium lens designs. BIG Exact lens portfolio expanded

CooperVision

CooperVision has launched MyDay MiSight 1 day contact lenses – combining the advanced silicone hydrogel material of MyDay lenses with the proven ActivControl Technology found in the company’s original MiSight 1 day lenses. According to the company, its ActivControl Technology has been shown to cut the worsening of myopia by approximately 50 per cent – and is backed by the longest-running soft contact lens clinical trial among children. The lens design incorporates both vision correction zones and treatment zones, to provide clear vision whilst helping to control myopia progression.

Safilo

The Safilo Group and Pierre Cardin – the historic Parisian fashion house – have renewed their global licensing agreement for the design, manufacture and distribution of prescription frames and sunglasses under the Pierre Cardin brand. This renewal, which will now run until 2031, highlights the strong collaboration between the two groups, whose partnership began with the first Pierre Cardin eyewear collection in 1991.

Angelo Trocchia, CEO of the Safilo Group, commented: “We are delighted to renew this partnership, which has delivered pride and success for more than three decades. This agreement strengthens our shared commitment to advancing the Pierre Cardin brand in the eyewear industry, with a focus on optical frames. For Safilo, Pierre Cardin remains a key partner, recognised for its distinctive market position, innovative design and well-defined audience.”

EssilorLuxottica

EssilorLuxottica is planning a packed agenda of education and innovation at 100% Optical later this month – a highlight of which will be the launch of Essilor Stellest 2.0 lenses for myopia control. There will be a strong emphasis on wearable technology, including Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta and Nuance Audio, while a hand-picked collection of new frames will be displayed along with the latest lenses such as Varilux XR series, Transitions Gen S and Eyezen.

Online learning platform, Leonardo, is sponsoring the 100% Optical Academy

manager, UK&I at CooperVision, said: “This innovation delivers ‘always-on’ myopia control – children benefit from treatment throughout the day, simply by wearing their contact lenses. It’s also designed to help support a smooth

transition from myopia management to adult lens wear, thanks to its shared material and specifications with MyDay lenses.” The lenses are initially available in the power ranges of -0.25D to -6.00D in 0.25D steps, and -6.50D to -10.00D in 0.50D steps.

and delivering two CPD sessions: ‘Clear vision, clear choices: managing digital eye strain and presbyopia’, and ‘Dinner party dispensing’. Two non-CPD sessions will also be delivered on the Optical Suppliers Association stand: ‘Smart eyewear: where vision meets intelligence’ and ‘Better together: optics and acoustics’.

Tim Precious, general manager UKI, said: “At EssilorLuxottica, our daily commitment is to support eyecare professionals in bringing the most advanced innovative solutions to their patients. This drives everything we do, and we’re thrilled to be exhibiting at the event as gold sponsors this year, bringing together our portfolio of products and services under one roof.”

LAUNCH EVENT

Silhouette

Silhouette’s latest advertising campaign for its ultra-light titanium eyewear portfolio features the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum as a backdrop. Designed by visionary architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum opened in 1997, and features 33,000 titanium panels on the building’s exterior. Silhouette will be a sponsor of this iconic cultural space for the next three years.

“This long-term partnership marks a major step in our brand’s cultural engagement and reflects a shared vision rooted in innovation, artistic expression, and bold design,” stated the company.

“By supporting one of the world’s most iconic titanium architectural landmarks, we are reinforcing our commitment to creativity and shaping the future of design — both in the world of art and eyewear.”

College of Optometrists/Association of Optometrists

The College of Optometrists and the Association of Optometrists (AOP) have welcomed a government consultation on mandatory sight testing for drivers over the age of 70, as part of its new Road Safety Strategy published last month. Daniel Hardiman-McCartney, clinical adviser at the College of Optometrists, commented: “Introducing mandatory eye tests for the over 70s at their driving licence renewal, which is every three years, aligns with the increase in age-related eye conditions and deterioration in eyesight.

“This measure would require small changes to existing legislation and have a considerable impact on reducing avoidable collisions and making the roads safer for all,” added Daniel. Recent research among

2,000 UK adults from the College and the AOP found seven in 10 people supported calls for the introduction of mandatory eye tests for motorists at both driving licence application and renewals. The government

Eyespace returned to Mido in Milan from 31 January to 2nd February to present its latest award-winning sunwear and optical collections. Visitors previewed the company’s 2026 sunwear launches, featuring more than 85 high-fashion styles across Eyespace’s luxury designer and premium house brands. The B Corporation-certified company also presented a showcase of brand-new optical releases.

“Mido 2026 offered a first look at Eyespace’s latest design direction, with new releases, considered edits and updated brand presentations revealed for the season ahead – from the understated luxury of Range Rover and the purposeful, adventure-ready design language of Defender, to the refined British elegance of Aspinal of London and the fashion-led spirit of Cocoa,” said Nicky Clement, head of marketing.

is running five consultations until 31 March, as part of its new Road Safety Strategy, and optical sector bodies are seeking input from members to help formulate their official responses.

CooperVision

CooperVision plans to reorganise its soft contact lens portfolio in the UK and Ireland by transitioning, in the main, to silicone hydrogel production. The move is designed to focus the company’s efforts on offering its most innovative optical designs and advanced material technologies to eyecare professionals and wearers. It also paves the way for future innovation. The transition will occur over the next two years, and will involve phasing out some of the company’s Biomedics and Proclear hydrogel products from 31 October 2027.

Lara Drury, CooperVision director of portfolio brand marketing EMEA, said: “We’re committed to continuously refresh our portfolio and bring innovative optical designs and advanced material technologies to market. While we’re making changes to our current offering, we’ll continue to offer the widest range of silicone hydrogel contact lenses –with over 250,000 correction options –ensuring strong support for both eyecare practitioners and wearers.”

General Optical Council

The General Optical Council (GOC) will increase the main fee for optometrists and dispensing opticians for the 2026/27 registration period by £10 – taking the fee to £425. The fees for optical students and for those on low incomes will be frozen at last year’s rates: £30 and £290 respectively. In announcing the increase, the GOC said it was “committed to achieving greater operational efficiency and value for money, having downsized to a more cost-effective office and enhanced its in-house legal and advocacy expertise to reduce expenditure on external legal fees in the past year”.

100% Optical

100% Optical has partnered with global market research provider Euromonitor International, to provide a daily consumer trends programme at the London show (28 February to 2 March). The series is designed to equip eyewear professionals with insights on evolving consumer expectations, behaviours and values, and will be presented by Natasha Cazin, Euromonitor International’s global insights manager.

Taking place on the catwalk stage, each session will explore a macro trend set to shape the eyewear sector in 2026. Find out more at www.100percentoptical.com

Optical Suppliers Association

James Conway, CEO of the Millmead Group, has succeeded Roy Stoner as chair of the Optical Suppliers Association (OSA), with Jayne Abel, Eyespace CEO, stepping into the vice chair role. A longstanding OSA director, James took over the role at the Association’s AGM in December, as Roy completed his three-year tenure. Founded in 1917, the OSA supports members across the supply chain, providing regulatory guidance, networking opportunities and access to industry standards, as well as facilitating collaboration with key optical organisations.

James has been a longstanding and active contributor to the OSA, particularly supporting initiatives such as the OSA Green Charter and the Dicom digital interoperability programme. He said: “It is an honour to take on the role of chair of the OSA. The Association plays a vital role in supporting and representing our industry, from regulatory guidance to sustainability initiatives. I look forward to working with members and partner organisations to continue strengthening the voice of the optical supply sector.”

British Contact Lens Association

The 50th anniversary of the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) will be celebrated at the Association’s flagship clinical conference in 2027, marking a ‘golden era’ for contact lenses and the anterior eye. Taking place at the Birmingham International Convention Centre on 19 and 20 June, the weekend event will feature the latest innovations and clinical insights.

BCLA chief executive, Brad Parkes, said: “For five decades, the BCLA clinical conference and exhibition has been at the forefront of our profession, and our 50th anniversary edition is going to be a spectacular celebration of a golden era for contact lenses and the anterior eye. This

meeting will deliver expert-led education and patient-focused clinical training, with world-class speakers on all areas of contact lenses and ocular surface health.

“It promises to be a brilliant weekend packed with learning, networking and

AN INDEPENDENT VIEW

Plus ça change

Whilst 2025 promised a lot, with all the right noises coming out of the government about the importance of long-term eye health care and the role of community optometry, the outcome felt very much ‘plus ça change’. In other words, disappointing. As we enter 2026, it is unfortunate that there are few causes for optimism for those practising in England.

The signal failure of the Optometric Fees Negotiating Committee to obtain any meaningful increase in the GOS fee means more independents are likely to abandon the NHS contract. In addition, the announcement of eyecare services being delivered in England through a new online hospital could also be a cause for concern.

The intention is that, from 2027, patients will be able to access consultations for glaucoma, cataract and macular degeneration online – for onward referral to treatment providers across England. Those of a cynical disposition might think that this is part of a power play by the hospital eye service.

The position is, of course, very different in Scotland and Wales. Eye health

care is taken seriously by their respective governments, and Optometry Scotland and Optometry Wales deserve a lot of credit for the very effective work they do in promoting the role of the profession. Short of any derailment through Sened and Scottish government elections in May, 2026 will be a year of continuing progressive reform of eyecare services in both nations.

Last year also saw the continuing expansion of the Hakim Group and other acquisitive companies, with the identity of the independent sector being further eroded.

So, what are the positives for 2026? First, the government consultation on making sight tests mandatory for all drivers over the age of 70 is a positive step forward. It is important that all the optical representative bodies respond with a consistent message, and the signs are good that there is a willingness to do this. The acid test will be when any of the key players feel they must concede on any point of principle. For its part, the AIO is prepared to be flexible as long as the independent sector is in no way disadvantaged by the common response. Secondly, advances in technology and AI could deliver a new range of eyecare services and general health diagnostics through eye examinations. Typically, the independent sector is the first to embrace and offer new clinical services.

Next, the General Optical Council (GOC)

thematic review into patient care and commercial pressures will report in 2026, and the findings will be very interesting. The long-term aim of the GOC having regulatory powers over the whole sector through a change in the law remains a priority for the regulator, and the AIO (if not some others). If nothing else, the outcome of the review should have an impact on poor practises in the meanwhile. Perhaps as important as anything is a move by many suppliers that rely solely on the independent sector to work with the AIO – as the only body that exclusively represents independent optometrists and dispensing opticians – not just to expand the AIO’s remit, but ultimately to protect and even expand the independent sector itself.

There will be more on this in the coming weeks and months, but an early sign is that the AIO will be part of the NEG Building for Success Conference in 2026 rather than holding its own event. Watch this space.

The future’s brighter together Developing thoughts

By Phil Mullins

Over the last couple of years, I have had an increasing number of conversations about the pressures on truly independent practices. This is not just because groups are buying up more and more independent practices – but because, economically, many smaller practices are finding it harder to survive. This means that, unfortunately, we are seeing some practices close.

Despite some negativity around the future of the independent sector, this is certainly not the full story; in fact, many independent practices are thriving and growing. At NEG, practices are continuing to join us seeking additional support.

Although most practices join us looking for the improved purchasing terms we offer, and the simplified billing structure that goes alongside this, we also want to partner with our members and work with suppliers and other groups within the optical industry. We want to offer a wide range of business support and professional education, and a sense of community that will ensure that the independent sector not only survives, but thrives in the years ahead.

CONFERENCE IN PARTNERSHIP

As part of this community-building process, we are delighted to announce the return of the NEG Building for Success Conference, which will be held on Sunday 18 and Monday 19 October at the St George’s Hotel in Burtonon-Trent – the home of English football.

The conference theme is ‘The future’s brighter together’ and, for the first time, we will be partnering with the Association of Independent Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians (AIO). Together, we have organised our biggest and what we hope will be our best conference ever. And furthermore, the conference will be open to any independent practice in the UK, ensuring everyone is welcome to be part of our independent community.

With CPD workshops, lectures and business presentations, as well as an exhibition of leading suppliers that support independent practices, our aim is to ensure that delegates gain at least 13 CPD points – as

well as tangible take-home ideas to grow their practices and their teams.

We are also thrilled to announce some very exciting keynote speakers who will be sure to leave you feeling challenged and invigorated to achieve great things.

BRILLIANT KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

On Sunday 18 October, our keynote speaker will be Ella Al-Shamahi – explorer, paleoanthropologist and evolutionary biologist turned TV presenter. Renowned for hosting science and archaeology programmes on the BBC, Channel 4 and beyond, Ella takes a fearless, hands-on approach to all that she sets her mind to – such as leading expeditions in demanding locations like Iraq, Yemen and the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Alongside her scientific endeavours, Ella uses comedy to make complex ideas accessible, performing internationally at venues including the Bloomsbury Theatre, the National Geographic main stage, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

On Monday 19 October, our keynote speaker will be Sir Clive Woodward OBE, probably one of the world’s best and most innovative coaches. In his lecture, Sir Clive will show that simplicity, structure and staying focused under pressure brings success. He will explain how, in a world full of noise and complexity, true success often comes from mastering the fundamentals.

In his compelling keynote presentation, titled ‘Brilliant basics’, the Rugby World Cup-winning coach and respected business leader will share how doing the simple things

brilliantly can be the foundation of lasting performance – whether on the pitch, in the boardroom or, of course, in independent optical practice.

With humour and insight, Sir Clive will bring his experiences to life, offering a clear framework for cutting through distraction and delivering when it matters most.

Delegates will leave with a greater understanding of: why focusing on the basics delivers extraordinary results; how to stay calm and composed when the pressure is on; and the role of simplicity and structure in driving consistent high performance. We believe that ‘Brilliant basics’ will be an inspiring and practical session that will serve to remind us that when we get the fundamentals right, exceptional outcomes follow.

In addition to these fantastic keynote speakers, we will have lectures on mentoring your team, supporting your patients, and a choice of CPD workshops –all offering you the best NEG Building for Success Conference to date. We very much look forward to welcoming you to St George’s in October.

The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers Supporting better vision for all since 1629

The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers (WCSM), founded in 1629, is the oldest optical body in the world – and the only City of London livery company dedicated exclusively to vision and eye health.

While grounded in a long and distinguished history, the Company today is defined by its active commitment to contemporary eyecare and the future of vision. For independent opticians in particular, it offers a way to contribute to something enduring, collaborative and purpose-driven beyond day-to-day practice.

ORIGINS AND EARLY PURPOSE

The Company is one of the City of London’s livery companies – institutions that originated as trade guilds and which now focus on charity, education and public benefit.

Established by Royal Charter at a time when spectacles were an emerging and transformative technology, the Company’s original purpose was to regulate the manufacture and sale of optical appliances, ensuring quality and protecting the public from harm. In an era before formal healthcare systems, this work carried genuine social importance, extending working lives, literacy and independence. As optical science advanced, the Company

included among its members individuals involved in significant developments in lens design and optical instruments. Yet its most enduring significance lies in its early recognition that vision matters – and that professional standards and expertise are essential to its protection.

A MODERN EVOLUTION

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, responsibility for regulating optical practice had passed to specialist professional bodies better equipped to oversee education, examination and clinical governance.

This transition marked a decisive shift in emphasis, with the Company repositioning itself as a body able to bring together the many disciplines connected with vision, without acting as a regulator, trade association or commercial representative.

In the 21st century, the WCSM is best understood as a multi-disciplinary community. Its membership includes optometrists, dispensing opticians, ophthalmologists, orthoptists, ophthalmic nurses, researchers, educators and professionals working in industry, science and related fields.

This diversity is central to the Company’s ethos. Modern eyecare is inherently multidisciplinary, and the Company provides a

neutral, non-commercial space in which clinical practice, research, education, innovation and lived experience of sight loss can intersect.

Membership is open and actively encouraged across career stages and professional backgrounds. For independent opticians, becoming a member offers an opportunity to engage with peers from across the eye health sector, and contribute to our shared goal of Better Vision for All.

SPECTACLE MAKERS’ CHARITY

The Company’s values are most clearly expressed through the Spectacle Makers’ Charity (SMC), which focuses on improving access to eyecare, supporting education and enhancing the lives of people affected by visual impairment.

A key area of work is the support of students and early-career professionals entering optical and ophthalmic fields. Through bursaries, travel grants and educational awards, the SMC helps reduce financial barriers at critical points in training, recognising that the future of eyecare depends on a skilled, diverse and wellsupported workforce.

The SMC also funds organisations working directly with people living with sight loss, supporting projects that promote independence, inclusion and participation across education, employment and cultural life. In addition, it supports early-stage research and innovation, enabling exploratory work that can lead to wider impact.

EVENTS AND NETWORKING

The Spectacle Makers’ Society provides the social foundation of the Company. Through lectures, visits, cultural events and informal gatherings, it fosters connection and dialogue among members and their families. The Society hosts numerous events throughout the year, ranging from guided tours, golf days, wine, chocolate and gin tasting, and day trips along the Thames, to name a few. Local gatherings across the UK allow members to meet and enjoy experiences together – regardless of where they live.

Similarly, its monthly digital lecture series offers something of interest for everyone –from tours of the British Optical Association Museum, discussions on helmet mounted displays from RAF officers, glaucoma research or stories from international crickets – and these are online for greater accessibility.

The Company hosts lunches and dinners, where members can meet, talk

and network over good food in historic locations in London. It also organises the annual Spectacle Makers’ Lecture, which in previous years hosted, among others, Professor Mandeep Sagoo (2025, on ocular oncology and 3D-printed prosthetic eyes) and Professor James Fujimoto (2024, on the history, evolution and future prospects of optical coherence tomography).

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The challenges facing vision and eye health in the coming decades are significant. Ageing populations, increased screen use, inequalities in access to care, and the prevalence of preventable sight loss all demand thoughtful, collaborative responses.

The WCSM is not a regulator or campaigning body, nor does it seek to be. Its strength lies in its ability to connect, support and enable – bringing together professionals

25TH KNOWN CLERK APPOINTED

who care deeply about vision, and directing resources where they can make a meaningful difference.

Becoming a member is an opportunity for independent opticians to contribute to a shared mission, support charitable work that improves lives, and engage with a community that values openness, collaboration and innovation.

Nearly 400 years after its foundation, the WCSM remains a living institution, informed by its history, but shaped by those who choose to be part of it today. It is proud to count the National Eyecare Group among its corporate supporters. It also always welcomes enquiries and applications from those who wish to play a role in the Company’s continuing work.

To find out more about membership or involvement, please visit www.spectaclemakers.com or email administrator@spectaclemakers.com ■

Ollie Finn has become the 25th known clerk to the WCSM – taking over from Helen Perkins who has now retired after 10 years in the role.

Ollie previously worked for two years as clerk to the Worshipful Company of Gardeners; he has also had roles in charity governance.

Ollie said: “The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers is widely known for its friendly members and its strong sense of community and camaraderie. I can certainly vouch for the truth of this. It is my great honour to be admitted as the 25th known clerk to the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers.”

Helen Perkins previously held the position since June 2015. WCSM Master, Fiona Anderson, paid tribute to her contribution, noting that “the Company is regarded within the city as highly welcoming and inclusive, in no small part thanks to her dedication. Her work to strengthen our governance, broaden our connections and support the court and masters through their years of office has had a lasting effect”.

Why stock-turn analysis is the quiet superpower of successful optical practices

By Alex Davis

For many independent practices, frame buying remains one of the last great ‘instinct-led’ activities. Decisions are often influenced by what feels right: a colour that looks promising, a shape that seems fashionable, a rep’s enthusiasm, or a hunch that ‘someone will buy this’.

The intention is good; eyecare professionals genuinely want patients to enjoy their eyewear. But without quantitative structure behind those decisions, the outcomes can fall far short of what patients and practices deserve.

When instinct replaces analysis, stockrooms quietly fill with unbalanced ranges. Displays become cluttered; cash becomes trapped in slow-moving items; margins erode. And, crucially, the frames your patients truly need become harder to find among the noise.

If the aim is to delight patients, strengthen loyalty and reinforce the long-term sustainability of the business, then relying on gut-feeling alone is no longer good enough. This is where stock-turn analysis – a structured, repeatable model – becomes one of the most effective business tools an optical practice can adopt. And, importantly, this is not about becoming ‘more commercial’ at the expense of care. On the contrary: better curation leads to better clinical outcomes.

HIDDEN COST OF INSTINCT-LED BUYING

Eyecare professionals are highly trained clinicians, yet many feel surprisingly unsure about their retail assortment strategy. The challenge is not capability – it’s structure. When buying is based on instinct, several problems inevitably arise. Let’s look at each of these in turn…

1. Accidental over-stocking

It happens slowly; a few additional styles here, a few duplicated colours there, and suddenly the practice is holding several hundred frames – far more than your patient flow requires. The intention is generosity, but the effect is confusion. Patients don’t need

overwhelming choice. They need wellchosen, well-fitting options that work for their prescription and face shape.

2. Margin erosion and lower gross margin contribution

Few in the profession speak openly about this, yet every practice feels it. Slow-moving stock often leads to:

■ Quiet discounting

■ Bundled pricing

■ End-of-line reductions

■ Write-downs

All of the above reduce gross margin contribution – not because frames are unprofitable, but because poor stock structure forces profit out of the business. With strong stock-turn, frames leave the board while their clinical and commercial value is at its highest. When stock-turn is low, the opposite happens. In the long term, this steadily undermines the ability of a practice to reinvest in better equipment, staff development and patient services.

3. Sub-optimal outcomes for patients

Perhaps the most important consequence is also the least discussed. When displays are overloaded and slow movers are piling up, staff naturally feel pressure (even unintentionally) to ‘sell what needs to be sold’, which is rarely in the patient’s best interest. Comfort, fit, lens performance and long-term wearability must always come first. Patients deserve frames anatomically

designed to hold lenses perfectly before the eye using materials such as TX5 and titanium, which deliver stability, lightness and hypoallergenic comfort. Anything that distracts from this reduces the patient experience.

4. Lost learning opportunities

Instinct buys generate no structured feedback loop. You cannot refine what you cannot measure. Without stock-turn analysis, a practice cannot reliably determine:

■ Which materials perform best

■ Which bridge and fit profiles offer the greatest comfort

■ Which collections produce repeat buyers

■ Which categories are quietly underperforming

Good intentions are not enough; practices need clarity.

MOST VALUABLE PRACTICE METRIC

Stock-turn is beautifully simple:

■ Annualised sales ÷ average stock = stock-turn

It reveals, with absolute clarity, whether your frame board reflects what your patients actually want.

High stock-turn creates a virtuous cycle:

■ Greater cash flow

■ Lower discounting

■ Lower stockholding risk

■ Fresher ranges

■ Higher gross margin contribution

■ Stronger staff confidence

■ Better patient experiences

Low stock-turn creates the opposite cycle:

■ Capital locked in drawers

■ A cluttered display

■ A creeping reliance on discounts

■ Lower patient satisfaction

■ Lower gross margin contribution

Once viewed through this lens, the path forward is unmistakable.

STEPPER’S STOCK-TURN MODEL

For practices seeking professionalism with minimal complexity, the Stepper Eyewear stock-turn model provides a clear roadmap…

1. Start with the right mindset

Frames earn their place on your board not because you like them, but because your patients consistently choose and benefit from them. Anatomically designed frames, using TX5, titanium and beta-titanium, naturally deliver long-term comfort and fewer adjustments – making them reliable performers in stock-turn analysis.

2. Define your true stock capacity

If the board holds 420 frames, that number is fixed. A board cannot be overfilled without degrading clarity and patient experience.

3. Create sub-groups

Specificity creates insight. Instead of tracking ‘men’s eyewear’, track:

■ Men > Stepper > titanium > eight pcs

■ Women > Stepper > TX5 > seven pcs

This precision reveals which categories merit expansion, and which should quietly shrink.

4. Track sales daily

Nothing complicated: a simple spreadsheet works beautifully

5. Analyse quarterly

This is where the learning happens. Annualise your quarterly sales:

■ Quarterly sales × four = annualised sales

Then calculate stock-turn. Patterns emerge quickly – sometimes surprisingly quickly.

6. Benchmark sub-groups against each other. This reveals:

■ Where demand is strongest

■ Which materials drive repeat success

■ Which areas of the board are underperforming

7. Add a gross margin contribution perspective

This is not about price – it's about efficiency. Fast-moving, well-chosen frames contribute disproportionately to gross margin because they:

■ Require fewer adjustments

■ Spend less time tying up capital

■ Are less likely to be discounted

■ Attract returning patients

■ Generate referral value

A small group of high stock-turn frames can meaningfully elevate the overall gross margin contribution of the frame portfolio, strengthening the entire business. This is a critical insight: profitability improves not only through what you charge, but through how intelligently your stock works for you.

8. Avoid the common pitfalls

Promotions inflate data, and ‘switch sales’ (discounted alternative frames) distort reality. Stick to clean, honest numbers.

9. Repeat the cycle

Analysis becomes easier – and more accurate – each quarter.

10. Act with confidence

■ Expand what performs

■ Reduce what doesn’t

■ Maintain clarity on the displays

The data will tell you exactly where to invest. Profitability improves not just through price, but through smarter stock that works harder for you.

CHANGING CLINICAL OUTCOMES

Eyewear is a medical device with a clinical responsibility: to hold lenses in the correct anatomical position for stable, consistent

visual correction. When stock-turn prioritises the frames that patients repeatedly choose – lightweight, hypoallergenic and precisionengineered – the outcome is a board full of proven comfort-first designs. This leads to:

■ Fewer pressure points

■ Reduced slipping

■ More accurate lens positioning

■ Fewer returns

■ Better day-long wearing experience

In other words, better buying equals better clinical care.

BUILDING STAFF CONFIDENCE

A well-curated display is easier to dispense from. When staff know the range – and know it performs – they speak with confidence, clarity and clinical authority. Patient trust grows. Recommendations carry weight. Conversions improve naturally. Confidence is infectious. A wellmanaged display builds it daily.

THE LOYALTY EFFECT

Comfort changes everything. A comfortable frame:

■ Reinforces trust

■ Reduces friction

■ Drives repeat visits

■ Encourages second pairs

■ Fuels word-of-mouth referrals

Every returning patient strengthens the practice’s resilience – both clinically and commercially. And stock-turn ensures the frames that deliver this comfort are always present.

CONCLUSION

The optical profession is built on measurement, accuracy and care. Yet the frame board – one of the most visible parts of the practice – often receives the least structured approach.

Stock-turn analysis restores balance. It aligns frame buying with the same professional rigour seen in refraction, dispensing and clinical care. It builds a curated, patient-centred range that sells because it fits beautifully and feels effortless. Most importantly, it strengthens the practice’s clinical integrity, patient loyalty and long-term financial health –without ever compromising on care. Because when your stock works harder, your margins strengthen, your team grows more confident, and your patients enjoy genuinely better eyewear experiences.

MULTI AWARD WINNING* B.I.G. EXACT® SENSITIVE LENSES FROM RODENSTOCK ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR EVERY AGE, EVERY LIFESTAGE AND EVERY LIFESTYLE .

Did you know that two people with the exact same prescription can still experience vision differently?

Our visual system consists of both the eyes and the brain. Until now, spectacle lenses have been designed only for the eye, ignoring how each person´s brain actually processes visual information from the eyes. Rodenstock has set out to change that.

The breakthrough

In other words, these lenses are made not only for your eyes, but also for the way your brain perceives what your eyes see. This results in a completely new level of vision that feels like no other.

How it’s done

Behind this breakthrough is Rodenstock’s pioneering DNEye® technology which captures more than 7,000 biometric data points and over 80 parameters for each eye.

B.I.G. EXACT® SENSITIVE IS THE FIRST AND ONLY LENS THAT COMBINES YOUR EYES’ PRECISE BIOMETRIC EYE DATA WITH HOW YOUR BRAIN PERCEIVES WHAT YOUR EYES SEE.

Exact biometric eye mode: Engineered from over 7,000 biometric data points and over 80 parameters, captured with Rodenstock’s groundbreaking DNEye® technology.

This data enables Rodenstock to build lenses made exclusively for your unique visual system, with:

• Your exact biometric eye model – a highly precise map of your eyes’ anatomy.

• Your individual visual sensitivity profile –the way your brain processes what your eyes see.

Groundbreaking technology

B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive is the first and only lens to combine your eye’s exact biometry with your individual visual sensitivity.

The result is a new level of vision that feels effortless, natural, and unmistakably yours.

Individual visual sensitivity: The way your brain processes what your eyes see.

FEELS LIKE NO OTHER, MADE LIKE NO OTHER. EXCLUSIVELY

FOR YOU.

Visual sensitivity

What it feels like

Visual sensitivity describes “the way your brain processes what your eyes see.” Until now, spectacle lenses have never taken this unique personal difference into account. B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive changes that by combining the eyes’ exact biometry with the individual visual sensitivity profile, creating the first and only lenses designed not only for the eyes but also for the brain.

preferred the new design that considers their sensitivity 83%

These lenses are designed to feel instantly right. They adapt to you, not the other way around. Just effortless clarity everywhere you look.

Vision feels purely natural. Seamless, natural sight so clear and easy, you might even forget you’re wearing glasses. Every vibrant detail inspires confidence, thanks to sharp, contrast-rich, comfortable vision in every moment.

Wearers describe their experience as sharper, more vibrant, and far more comfortable than anything they have ever worn before. From reading a book to scrolling on a phone, from working at a screen to driving at night, every moment feels clearer and more natural.

Why it matters

For decades, lenses have been built on averages and assumptions. Even advanced progressive lenses were limited to prescription data and standardised assumptions. Now, with B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive, lenses no longer follow a one-size-fits-all approach. They are designed around your exact personal biometric data and your individual visual sensitivity. That makes them not only unique, but uniquely yours.

For every stage of life

The B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive full portfolio is available for everyone: this range has a solution for all changing vision challenges – for every age, every lifestyle and every visual need. From single vision through to progressive lenses, we have the right B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive lens for you.

Whether it’s time for your first pair of glasses, you want extra support for your digital lifestyle, or you need advanced progressives for all-distance clarity, B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive ensures effortless vision that always feels like the best version of your sight.

Eyewear giving it 100%

By Nicky Collinson

Arguably one of the most enjoyable aspects of trade shows such as 100% Optical is the chance to explore what’s up and coming in eyewear style, fashion and function. So let’s take a look at what some of NEG’s preferred eyewear suppliers have up their sleeves for this year’s show…

CELEBRATION OF NATURE

Wing your way to the Bird Eyewear stand (C32) to explore the company’s new Vibrant Nature collection, showcasing a bold evolution in colour, design and sustainability.

Developed in Bird Eyewear’s Nature Lab in Cornwall, Vibrant Nature explores rich, interesting colourways created using refined natural dye techniques. The collection features a confident mix of chunky acetates and sleek metals, with shapes ranging from classic silhouettes to angular, contemporary designs including modern hexagonal forms.

Ed Bird, company founder, told Vision Now: “The Vibrant Nature collection celebrates the most extreme colours found in nature. It reflects how customers are choosing eyewear with more intention than ever before – expressive, premium pieces that remain wearable and responsible.”

Alongside the new Vibrant Nature collection, Bird Eyewear will introduce premium polarised sun clips for its most popular frames.

Declaring itself “the highest-scoring B Corp in the eyewear industry”, Bird Eyewear continues to prioritise lowcarbon bio-acetates, recycled metals and repurposed materials across its portfolio.

HERITAGE MEETS MODERN AESTHETICS

You’ll be able to see the latest eyewear styles across Charmant’s premium collections on the Optinet stand (K10). Available exclusively through NEG, the portfolio includes Esprit, Head, Elle, Charmant Titanium Perfection and Ad Lib.

As always, the new presentations confidently blend heritage, innovation and contemporary design, with a strong focus on modern aesthetics, lightweight comfort and everyday wearability.

“Our focus is on offering eyewear that combines strong design identity with real-world comfort and performance,” explained Roxane Piblinger-Sorgiard, Charmant Europe product manager. “Each brand brings its own character, while sharing Charmant’s commitment to quality, innovation and everyday wearability.”

Building on the successful launch of its first eyewear collection in late 2025, Head has introduced three new models that bring the brand’s sporting DNA into everyday life. Timeless front colours are enhanced with dynamic accents, while lightweight, durable materials such as titanium, stainless steel and sustainable plastics deliver strength and comfort. Technical details include ventilated temples and cut-outs.

Another highlight will be the new Ad Lib’s men’s collection – featuring raw-

milled detailing on acetate temples and new colourways that mix transparency with matt and glossy finishes. A new hybrid construction, blending titanium with bio-based polyamide, debuts on the Antoni and Steve models.

STYLISH, QUALITY-LED DESIGN

Visitors making a beeline for Continental Eyewear’s stand E24 can expect to see a wide range of new season launches – from premium and craftsmanshipdriven collections through to accessible, everyday eyewear.

Two standout highlights for the season are Reykjavik Eyes and Puriti, showcasing distinctive styling and quality-led design.

Reykjavik Eyes introduces four new models – Una, Tiva, Bjorn and Joel –inspired by Iceland’s landscapes and design heritage. Meanwhile, the Puriti collection has five new styles – 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40 – with model 39 marking the first half-eye in the range.

Joshua Marsh, head of brands at the Millmead Optical Group, said: “We’re

excited for visitors to see these latest additions at 100% Optical. Both Reykjavik Eyes and Puriti showcase what we do best – combining thoughtful design, quality materials and distinctive styling across our collections.”

AMPLIFIED PERFORMANCE EYEWEAR

There’ll be a lot going on as usual at the EssilorLuxottica stand – so don’t miss the company’s hand-picked collection of new frames from its expansive portfolio.

A key development to look out for is the extension of Oakley’s Hstn family, including Oakley Meta Hstn with Oakley prescription and Transitions lenses, and Oakley Hstn Sq Rx.

Engineered for clarity and comfort, Oakley Meta Hstn frames are equipped with immersive audio, an action-ready camera, AI technology and Amethyst Transitions lenses. Oakley Hstn analogue prescription frames are also available with Prizm sun lenses.

New Oakley Hstn Sq Rx is a performance-driven update featuring a lightweight, flexible O-Matter frame with an updated square shape, trigger stem and Unobtainium nose pads for maximum comfort and a no-slip grip.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN

Bringing the sunshine to the show floor will be the Eyespace Cocoa Mint Studio spring/ summer 2026 sunwear collection.

Radiating Cocoa Mint’s signature spirit of relaxed glamour, the new edit celebrates confident femininity through bold silhouettes, sculptural shaping and expressive colour.

“Designed for sun-soaked moments and statement styling, the collection blends high-fashion attitude with effortless wearability, bringing a vibrant, destinationready energy to the season ahead,” said Nicky Clement, Eyespace’s head of marketing.

Hero style Cocoa Mint Studio CMS2168 is a bold, colourful and sculptural design featuring premium crystal acetate and meticulous detailing. A rich translucent green eye front is elevated with a vibrant pink topline that fades into zesty orange at the outer edges. Bold colour-block laminations through the temples, finished with sculpted contrast tips, complete the high-fashion sun style.

“The Cocoa Mint Studio sun edit for spring/summer 26 is joyful and undeniably chic – a confident, expressive celebration of colour,” Nicky added.

WEAR IT LIKE BECKHAM

The first-ever Victoria Beckham eyewear collection produced in partnership with Safilo will grace stand E20 – alongside new styles from signature Safilo brands such as Boss, Missoni, Caroline Herrera and, of course, David Beckham.

Embodying Victoria Beckham’s signature brand of effortless sophistication, the curated range of sunglasses and ophthalmic frames features sleek,

feminine silhouettes, defined by meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive detailing. The colour palette includes timeless shades of black and grey, warm Havana tones and polished metal finishes, complemented by lenses in classic brown and grey, as well as soft, modern hues of burgundy, green and blue.

The designer’s ‘V-cut’ signature appears on lugs, recalling the Victoria Beckham logo’s graphic lines. The subtle logo is also delicately engraved on the lens and on the tips.
