Interview with Our Opticians: Reconditioned Second-Hand Glasses

Meet Stefania, Optician and Workshop Manager at Seecly

Hello Stefania, can you tell us about your background and what led you to Seecly?

Hello! I started my career as an optician about 20 years ago after obtaining my degree in Optics and Eyewear. I have always been passionate about vision and visual well-being. After working in several optical stores, I discovered Seecly and its innovative concept of reconditioned second-hand glasses. I was drawn to the idea of giving glasses a second life while providing an eco-friendly and economical solution to customers.

What makes Seecly different from other eyewear companies?

What makes Seecly unique is our commitment to sustainability and quality. Each pair of glasses we receive is carefully inspected and reconditioned in our workshop in Aix-en-Provence. We use various techniques to ensure that each frame is like new before being offered to our customers. Additionally, we can customize the lenses to the customer's vision, adding extra value to our services. By choosing reconditioned second-hand glasses from Seecly, our customers make an environmentally friendly choice while benefiting from quality products at reduced prices.

A look at the glasses reconditioning process

Can you explain the glasses reconditioning process at Seecly?

Of course! When a pair of glasses arrives at our workshop, it goes through several steps:

1. Initial inspection: We check the overall condition of the frame and lenses to identify any damage or wear. This step is crucial to determine the necessary interventions to recondition the glasses.
2. Deep cleaning: Each frame is carefully cleaned with special solutions to remove all traces of dirt and bacteria. A thorough cleaning ensures that the glasses are hygienic and ready to be worn again.
3. Repair: If necessary, we repair certain damaged parts. This can include replacing screws, straightening the temples, or repairing nose pads. Our opticians use precision tools to ensure high-quality repairs.
4. Lens customization: If the customer needs corrective lenses, we order new lenses from KrysGroup and adjust the lenses to the frame. We use high-quality lenses to ensure clear and comfortable vision.
5. Quality control: Before being shipped, each pair undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure it meets our high standards. We check that the glasses are perfectly adjusted and ready to be worn.

The importance of sustainability and the circular economy

Why is sustainability so important to Seecly?

Sustainability is at the heart of our mission. By reconditioning second-hand glasses, we reduce waste and the carbon footprint associated with producing new frames. We firmly believe in the circular economy, where products are reused and recycled instead of being discarded. This not only helps us protect the environment but also allows us to offer high-quality glasses at affordable prices. Additionally, by choosing second-hand glasses, our customers help reduce the demand for new raw materials, which has a positive impact on the planet.

Expert tips for maintaining your glasses

What tips would you give Seecly customers for maintaining their glasses?

Properly maintaining your glasses is essential to extend their lifespan. Here are some simple tips:

• Clean your lenses regularly: Use a microfiber cloth and a special cleaning solution for glasses. Avoid using paper tissues or clothing, as they can scratch the lenses.
• Store your glasses in a case: When you're not wearing them, store your glasses in a hard case to protect them from shocks and scratches.
• Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not leave your glasses in very hot or very cold places, as this can damage the frames and lenses. For example, avoid leaving your glasses on the dashboard of your car in the summer.
• Handle them with care: Use both hands to put on and take off your glasses to avoid bending the temples. This helps maintain the fit and comfort of the glasses.
