If you are an Optician Now I genuinely loved recording this episode.
When you get to sit down with someone operating at a true global level of insight — and connect the dots back to what happens inside an optical practice on a Monday morning — that’s the magic for me.
Natasha’s perspective on consumer behaviour, storytelling, and where eyewear is heading in 2026 really hit home.
We’re in such a unique profession — fashion and healthcare combined — and conversations like this remind me why I care so much about where optics is going.
If you’re in the industry, I’d love to know what trend resonated most with you.
