Everything today was fabulous!

The eye test was really detailed and Karen explained everything in lots of detail and Katie was really knowledgeable and picked out several pairs of glasses that I liked straight away.  She has even ordered in a pair I liked but in a colour better suited to me for me to try!

I will definitely recommend you to family and friends.
