Let me introduce you to the "A Team". Standing in front of the new shop fittings are Felicity, Monique, Steve, Louise, Welna and Hanneke.

It has been an interesting time for me and the team at the practice. In May a bakkie crashed though our front window. When I say through, I mean right through, it just kept coming until it hit a wall inside the building. The whole vehicle ended up inside the practice. We were very fortunate that no one was hurt or killed but it was a very close shave: two patients had occupied the same spot literally two seconds earlier. If you want to see what happened, type "optometrists window crash" into Google and then go to the "You Tube" link. I promise you it is dramatic enough to be worth the trouble.

Anyway, we always like to turn a negative into a positive. We took the opportunity to remodel that part of the practice and have put in new shopfittings with a stunning granite background. We have intoduced some more top designer brands and now stock Prada, D & G and Bvlgari in addition to Gucci, Tag Heuer, Tom Ford, Roberto Cavalli and Silhouette.

Hi Folks

We at Steve Trimby Optometrist are new to blogging but, after attending a seminar on 10th March 2008, we decided it would be a good idea to have some presence on The Web. Please revisit us from time to time and you should find our latest news here. Better still, pop in to our practice at 5 Bright Street, Somerset West (in sunny South Africa) and chat to us about your eyecare needs.

Best regards

All of us at Steve Trimby Optometrist
