Director and Optometrist, Steve Mayer, said: “I’m really proud of how far the practice has come since we opened in 1999, so much has changed in terms of frames and technology, but we still have the same values now as we did when we first started.

“It’s great to be able to give back to the community that has supported us for so many years and celebrate this special anniversary with them.”
