The Wee Business Podcast

This week welcomes a father and son combo.

Michael and Jack Gilsenan from Lee Opticians.

Qualifying as an optometrist in London, Michael returned home to Newry to work under the guidance of Michael Lee the owner of Lee Opticians.

After acquiring the company and opening a number of other successful stores in Camlough, Crossmaglen and Warrenpoint, Michael and Jack talk to us about their work and some of the new technological advancements around eyesight.

They also explain how they are coming across more young people than ever before with myopic issues that may be attributed to the amount of screen time the younger generation now experience in their day to day lives.

Also, have you ever heard of night vision lenses? Turns out you don't need to be a Navy Seal to wear them.

Michael and Jack explain how a groundbreaking advancement means that if you are shortsighted you can now wear contact lenses during your sleep that allow you to ditch your glasses during the day.

Michael also discusses his work around eye stress and in particular how many young people in schools are affected by eyesight deficiencies that may be going unnoticed or unseen if you pardon the pun.
