Will I see the same people each time?
Paul has done every single test here in the last 25 years.
Stella Tracey and Sarah deal with all other aspects from ancillary tests through to measuring and fitting specs and contact lenses.

Are specs expensive?
Think of it this way a pair of specs will live on your face every day for about 2 years so you'll want them to give the best vision and be as comfortable as possible. The only way you can be assured of this is to have them measured, fitted and crafted by the same people
Then if they aren't perfect you know who to turn to.
