A few weeks after we moved into our West Hartford Center studio, Dr. Melissa Lambright–who owns SIGHT, a boutique eye care and eye wear studio in West Hartford–walked in to introduce herself and talk photography.

We’ve since developed a really nice friendship–and we’ve photographed her staff and store for her updated website.  We recently interviewed Dr. Lambright on her practice…if you’re in need of eye care in the Hartford area check out SIGHT on 17 South Main Street right in West Hartford Center.  Here’s our Q&A..and you can read more here.

Your business, SIGHT, is all about eye care and eyewear.  This combination of the medical and fashion fields suit you particularly well, would you agree?

I agree that SIGHT is the perfect marriage of the latest advances in eye care, with the most fashion forward, designer eye wear collections that are available exclusively in our boutique.  We make it a priority to find cutting edge techniques and therapies to perform eye examinations and offer specialized treatments, as well as eyewear that sets new trends in design and leads the way in innovative ideas.  We are on a continuous quest to provide our patients with unique access to the best of everything.

You live and work in the West Hartford Center.  What do you like most about the Center?

I love being part of this community both professionally and personally.  It affords me the opportunity to serve the community where I live. I relish riding my bike to work, and having access to the best restaurants, shops, services and entertainment.  What I value most are the friendly waves, the familiar faces and ringing my bell to say hello as I head to work to see my first patient of the day.

What’s the secret to getting eyeglasses that look good on a person’s face?

Our mantra is: “the details make the difference”.  Once we know your eyes, we ensure they’re framed perfectly with our exclusive selection of distinctive eyewear from around the world.  Our consultations are truly personalized, and our staff really dedicates a great deal of time to help patients choose from the highest quality collections.  We look at eyewear from every angle- the bridge fit, the proportion, the color, and the anti-glare coating.

I would also say that our offerings are predicated on quality, not labels. We have collections made by independent designers such as Mykita, SALT, Bevel, Hoffman Horn and Orgreen that are designed for the individual, not the mass market.  The level of craftsmanship in these brands makes a tremendous difference in the look, feel and fit. And the incredible materials guarantee that the frames have longevity- maintaining their color, finish and fit.  These are the independent brands that give you access to style-setting designs before they are imitated for the mass market.
