Problems solved by technology

Some display units have no storage for replacement eyeglasses.

The lower-placed drawer can be difficult to access, especially for the elderly and those with physical ailments such as back problems.

Further, eyeglasses stocked in the drawer tend to get damaged as a clerk searches for a particular pair to replace what was sold.

Moreover, time is wasted looking through the drawer for the correct pair of replacement eyeglasses.

It is backbreaking labor to restock an entire display in the morning after all of the stock has been piled into an almost floor-level drawer the night before.

Also, it is difficult to ascertain which glasses go where if there is a preferred location on the display for a particular style of frame or lens.
