Highly recommended.Posted on ZahraaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic experience at my optician’s appointment. The technology they use is genuinely impressive — from detailed images to CT-style scans of your eye. The optician took the time to walk me through each result, showing the pictures and explaining what they meant in a way that was easy to understand. Overall, a great visit that felt thorough, modern, and reassuring.Posted on Omar Salah AhmedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you 😍
