From start to finish excellent service from the minute you walked into their premises. No rush to have your eyes tested and great care taken to ensure that your eyes receive the best possible care. The staff have great patience when it comes to selecting your frames and lens styles. Negatively sorry cant think of any some might say a wee bit expensive however you only get what you pay for and I am very pleased with the service and product I received.
