An independent optician on Mercer Street
Two optometrists, a dispensing optician and a workshop upstairs (sample). We test eyes, fit frames and repair glasses in one place.
Thirty years of eye tests in Springfield
The practice opened in 1994 with one test room and a wall of frames (sample). It is still independent: we choose every frame ourselves and nobody here works to a sales target.
Most people come back every two years. Some of them first came as children and now bring their own.
