What do you do at Opticare?

I started the company in 1991 with Shaishav Shah. I'm an Optometrist / occasional tea & coffee maker!

Do you wear glasses or contact lenses yourself?

I wear silhouette frames with OptiPersonalise Sensity lenses. I also have Persol prescription sunglasses. I love the fashion element of spectacle wear primarily. I wear 1 Day ACUVUE contact lenses for yoga, hiking and Rock concerts. I particularly like Silhouette frame -  classic Austrian designs and lightweight. Superb!

Tell us a little bit more about yourself

I love working with the team, this makes the business always exciting to work for. I have 3 daughters. And in my spare time I hike, exercise, Bikram Yoga, I go to as many Rock/ Heavy metal concerts as possible!
