OUR TEAM

Our highly qualified team of experts have many years of professional experience, and are always on hand to offer seasoned advice on your vision and eyewear options.

Your time with us is valuable and we want to make sure you get the most out of it. That’s why our optometrist, Chris Violaris,  will spend additional time examining your eyes, so that he can give you the best possible advice on what type of prescription lenses would work best for you.

The extra attention our optometrists give you is not just about the technical bits of doing an eye exam. They spend time finding out more about your needs, preferences and how best to serve you so that we can help find what’s right for YOU!

In addition At Specs Direct Opticians, we understand that finding the perfect glasses can be a daunting task. That’s why we offer our clients the extra attention they deserve. Our team will take the time to find  glasses that not only look great, but also suit your unique needs.

You, together with our experienced eyewear stylists and dispensing opticians, will  explore all of your spectacle  options to help you find your perfect glasses.  This will change how you view your glasses in every day life. You’ll get a sense of what shapes, styles and colours would work well with your face shape, personality and prescription.

So who are they?
