(dpa) - An employee at the local branch of Fielmann AG, the optician and eyeglasses corporation, serves a customer across his desk in Schwerin, Germany, 27 March 2003. Last year, around 55 percent of glasses were ordered directly from the optician. This highlights the continuous trend of customers to purchase their glasses without prescription directly from the optician, but with the services of the health insurance companies. Easy accessability, customer friendly opening times, no prior arrangements of appointments and short waiting times are the crucial reasons for customers to visit the optician. The range of services extends from the manufacturing and selling of glasses to councelling, maintenance and fine adjustment and tuning of glasses.
