Swimming season doesn’t end when summer does. 🌊

Pools, swim lessons, aqua fitness, training, vacations and competitive swimming happen all year long. For patients who need vision correction, clear vision in the water can be relevant in every season.

That’s why RX swimming goggles can be a year-round conversation in your optical store, not just a summer product.

McCray offers Custom RX and Spherical RX options, giving optical professionals solutions for a wider range of prescription needs.

💬 Opticians: Do you currently ask your patients if they swim?

What tools do you actually need when starting optician school? 👓

While every program has different requirements, there are a few tools and instruments you’ll commonly encounter throughout your optical training.

In this video, Albert takes a closer look at some of them, from specialized lens-marking tools and pen lights to screwdrivers and measuring instruments, while explaining what they’re used for and why they matter.

At McCray, our toolkits aren’t one-size-fits-all. We adjust toolkit contents based on the student’s or optician’s needs and the requirements of their program, helping them start with the tools that make sense for their training.

Yes, you can do nose pad implants manually, but the right technique matters. 🛠️

The frame material can make a big difference. While acetate is generally easier to work with, injection-molded plastics can be more challenging, especially when laminated finishes are involved. Drilling incorrectly can damage the lamination and cause it to peel.

In this reel, Albert breaks down what optical professionals should consider when performing a nose pad implant manually.

When premium eyewear needs repair, the details matter.

This Cartier frame features bullhorn temple, a distinctive premium material that deserves specialized care. Rather than replacing the frame, our lab carefully restored the damaged temple tip while preserving the character and quality of the original eyewear.

High-end frames often require more than a standard repair. At McCray, our lab works with unique materials and challenging repairs to help optical professionals extend the life of their patients’ eyewear.

Your patients can see clearly every day. Why should swimming be any different? 🏊‍♀️

Many patients simply accept blurry vision in the water because they don't realize prescription swimming goggles are an option. One simple question, “Do you swim?” can uncover a need and introduce a solution for swimming, fitness, vacations, and everyday water activities.

With ready made spherical and custom RX swimming goggles, optical professionals can support different vision needs and provide more complete vision care, both in and out of the water. 🌊

📩 Ask your patients about their lifestyle. Contact us to explore McCray RX Swimming Goggles.
