| Bush Opticians was established by
Herman Bush (1830-1888) one of the first opticians in Hull. He made
his own frames from solid gold and is mentioned for his good works in the
most authoritative reference 'History of Hull' by McMahon and Gillett.
He was also an exceptionally
fine watchmaker, jeweller, translator and publisher with his own page in
the learned monthly journal of that period.
He was followed by Joseph
(1867 - 1933) who carried on the tradition and was one of the first to
qualify as a Fellow of the British Optical Association.
Herman (1905 - 1988) helped
to re-equip the ophthalmic profession after the war, exporting consulting
room equipment, microscopes, hydraulic columns and improved refractors
newly developed by us in Hull to 40 or more countries. Every other
practice in the UK bought the EYCO (East Yorkshire Optical Co.) lens power
analyser (focimeter).

Sydney started fitting
contact lenses in 1957. He established the Hull Contact Lens Clinic
in 1983 before advertising was allowed, and drew patients from as far as
the South Coast. His published research on Glaucoma in Hull was quoted
on the BBC news on 30th March 1979.
Sydney also uniquely,
is the sole specialist supplier to British & European Optometrists
of invisible prism bifocal spectacle lenses & heat disinfection contact
lens units (UK).
The tradition of 5 generations
of opticians, unique in the UK, continues with Vivian. |
