A video, produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP), showing people working in an optician's. They use physics to provide the correct lenses and frames for customers.

Making up the spectacles: the technician brings everything together to make a perfect pair of spectacles (2:05)

Frames: you can choose from a range of frames made from special materials (1:21)
