Member Spotlight - Carla and Imogen

What do you love most about being a National Pharmacies member?
The in-store service and knowledge of the staff, you can’t forget the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant, an amazing event!

Imogen, when did you first notice you needed glasses?
I was only 3 years old when Mum and Dad saw that I had a lazy eye and that is what got me into wearing glasses.

How do you find adjusting between contact lenses and glasses?
I started wearing contact lenses when I was 9 years old. At first they felt a little bit uncomfortable but over time I got used to wearing them. I find it easy to adjust between glasses and contact lenses because it is something that you eventually get used to. Contact lenses have been great for the days I play sport or surf; I don’t have the fear of breaking my glasses.

How did you select you frames?
The way that I select my frames is by trying on different types of frames and seeing how they look on me and I have to try a few on to decide the frames that I like the most.

What’s your favourite thing about wearing glasses?
I think that the best part of wearing glasses is that I get to choose the type of frame that I like the most, and the ones that I think suit me the best.

What advice would you give to other kids your age who might need an eye test?
The advice that I would give to other kids would have to be to not hesitate and get your eyes tested, it’s for the better in the long run.
