more than four years, 87 Main
Street South has, become the new
offices of J. E. Longstaff,
optometrist and the optician's
office and lab of, his son, David.
The reason David Longstaff
was attracted by the building was
because it allowed the
optometrist's. ' and optician's
office to be completely separate
flom one another, while still
sharing the same building.
Under the Health Disciplines
Act it's considered a conflict of
interest for an optometrist to have
an optician operating in the same
cffice.
David Longstaff didn't
originally intend to follow a career
quite so closely related to his
father's profession of optometry.
After graduating from Seaforth
District High Shool, David
Longstaff was "gung ho on
getting out" of his hometown.
He enrolled in the marketing.
management course at Ryerson
College and fully intended to
work in Toronto after he
graduated.
But after two years of life in the
city, and on the advice of his
father, he decided small towns
have more to offer.
It's a decision he hasn't
regretted since he finds Seaforth
is friendlier than the city and
"you know people as individuals
and they know you which makes
for a more trusting relationship."
After deciding to return to
Seaforth, David Longstaff began
taking an optician's course at
Ryerson in the evening.
fhe optician is the person who is
involved in completing and
dispensing prescriptions from an
optometrist or ophthamologist.
In 1975, after finishing his
business degree, David Longstaff
moved back to Seaforth and
finished his optician's course by
correspondence, while appren-
ticing in his father's office.
He received his optician's
licence in 1976.
When David Longstaff decided
to renovate the former Phillips
increased floor space means there
will be two display rooms one for
women's and children's glasses
and one for men's frames,
Mr. Longstaff plans to have
between 700 and 1,000 frames in
stock.
When a lab technician is added
to the staff, Mr. Longstaff said it
will take less than a weelt,to fill
prescriptions,.. ,
In the meantime, David
Longstaff has expanded the two
offices from the 600 feet they
shared in the old banding on
Gbuinlock Street to 1800 feet in
the new building.
The new lab is fully air
conditioned and. Mr. Longstaff
can offer more repay services
than in the past.
