They have repaired (tightened) his glasses on countless occasions and have done over and beyond what they should be doing. I could not recommend them strongly enough.
Staff were so nice, I would highly recommend this opticians!

Tá ríméad orm cabhrú leat na frámaí agus na lionsaí a fheileann duitse a roghnú. Tá áthas orm freisin an chaoi le Contact Lenses a úsáid a mhúineadh duit. Agus más maith leat, déanfaidh muid i nGaeilge é!
