Excellent friendly service

Excellent friendly service. Collected 4 pairs of glasses two weeks later, all do exactly what they said they would. Office glasses have made such a difference as have the long distance sunnies for driving

The professional setup of the company is first class, however the member of staff who went through the eye test with me needs to improve on their people skills.
