Vision Plus Optical celebrates its 20th anniversary
HI-INDEX lenses, anti-reflective coatings and globally recognised brand-name frames are things that Jamaicans have now become accustomed to when seeking optical solutions for eye-care.
This was not always the case. However, with the emergence of Vision Plus Optical, world class lens and frames are now available to all Jamaicans.
The company, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary of being in the business of optical eye-care solutions, says it has the enviable record of being the first Jamaican company to offer quick turnaround for first world optical solutions.
These solutions include anti-reflective coatings which have become popular due to constant computer use (to lessen eye strain), a wide variety of frames and lenses, and top quality hi-index, transition and progressive lenses.
“It is harder to maintain the highest standards of customer service in Jamaica as opposed to more developed countries because of turnaround time,” Brandie Kirkland, managing director at the company, revealed. However, she cites 20 years of commitment to providing quality service to customers and meticulous planning as being keys to the company obtaining and maintaining high standards.
Locally, the optical eye-care market has witnessed significant development over the last 20 years. Kirkland recalls that when Vision Plus Optical opened its doors there were very few similar companies in Jamaica.
Today, there are over 30 retailers in the market, giving Jamaicans wide ranging alternatives.
Outlining other strategies that have served to make the Vision Plus Optical brand one of the best in its field, she emphasised the company’s goal as being able to provide its customers with perfect pairs of glasses that suit their needs and lifestyles, as well as, their sense of style.
“We strive daily to make sure our customers are able to focus on living their lives — not worrying about taking care of their eyes,” she says, adding that all major insurance cards are accepted.
For those customers who wear contact lenses or are interested in getting them, a wide range of brands for all types of prescriptions and ways of life is available.
