[Simon Berry Optometrist @SimonBerryOptom]

What a whirlwind week!

This is my favourite video from the launch of my VFS, a device used to make the eye test more pleasant.

The Optician can examine eyes while the patient watches their favourite video.

Now it’s out there in the world! If you like the idea please share!

[Shelley Black @shellbell316]

@SimonBerryOptom This is fantastic- great idea

[Shelley Black @shellbell316]

@Drannaoc @playmobil @CollegeOptomUK No I haven't but I'll definitely look it to that. Thank you

[Shelley Black @shellbell316]

My sister bought my 4 yr old son this from @playmobil Very impressed with all the detail. It's a great way of prepping little ones for their first eye test through play @CollegeOptomUK
