What is an optician barge?

An optician barge is a mobile optical shop set up on board a barge or river boat. Unlike traditional optical stores located in fixed premises, barge opticians travel along rivers, canals and waterways to offer their services to customers. These barges are often equipped to provide eye exams, frame fittings, and sales of glasses, contact lenses, and other optical products. Optician barges offer a unique experience by combining traditional optometric services with a nautical and traveling atmosphere.
