I’ve been there three times, and during my most recent visit the service exceeded all my expectations. I was experiencing a serious eye problem, and Pauraic assessed me very carefully.

I was unable to buy glasses, so was unable to take advantage of the free eye check.i don't even have an idea of their name.
