“Orange is my favourite colour,” says Ms Merita Hector, Secretary (Student Affairs) at The UWI School of Nursing. Ms Hector was modelling a pair of glasses at the official launch of The UWI Optical Store on February 27. Based in Preysal, Couva, the store is an initiative of the Optometry Unit within the Department of Clinical Surgical Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences. It offers a full range of eye-health services and products using the latest technologies at community-friendly prices. The store also serves as a centre for training and practical experience for students of The UWI’s Optometry programme—all that, plus an abundance of stylish frames. “I really like these glasses frames because of the vibrant shade of orange and the unique style that complements my face and my energy,” says Ms Hector. “I was extremely excited when they were shown to me. The mix of colours gives it a fun, standout look, and the frame shape is modern and bold.”
