The store has 3 test rooms all fitted with OCT and Phoroptors and testing times are between 25-30 minutes as we are both a community and patient-focused store and value both our customers and our colleagues.
The team love to go out for social nights every couple of months, as well as arranging to see films or shows and meals in between.
