Richmond opticians celebrate 20 years of serving the community
Shoppers and customers joined in the 20-year birthday celebrations and festivities at Specsavers Richmond on Thursday, 12 December.
To mark the milestone, the directors invited VIP guests, including PR Ambassador from the Guide Dogs, Charlotte Singer, with her six-and-a-half-month-old Labrador puppy, Bloom.
During the day, the team and customers joined in fundraising for the Guide Dogs charity to help raise awareness and vital funds towards the selection and training of further dogs, who offer a lifeline for their owners and families.
Specsavers Richmond which is locally owned and run by Lee Penfold, retail director, Jayesh Solankey, ophthalmic director, and Gurleen Brar, audiology director, offer customers a combined 60 years of expertise in optics, audiology and retail management.
Penfold, a partner in the practice for over since 2004, says: "We're thrilled to welcome our VIP guests, including Charlotte and Bloom to join in our celebrations today.
"Richmond has seen a lot of change in the High Street over the last 20 years, and so has the world of retail, especially optics and audiology.
"We're very proud of our team and the hard work and dedication they offer to our customers in delivering the very best service to the Richmond community, many of whom have been our customers since we first opened in 2004."
Solankey comments: "We're delighted to be celebrating this key anniversary today with our guests and customers.
"We're very proud of our team and the high standard of clinical care and customer service they deliver daily.
"We also offer local residents a minor eye care service, which includes cataract and glaucoma clinics, plus the management of red eyes and dry eyes, flashers and floaters, with local GPs referring patients to us which helps ease the pressure on the NHS."
Specsavers Richmond offers customers access to the very latest diagnostic testing equipment, including a visual fields analyser and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) examination.
The OCT, which is hospital grade advanced diagnostic, eye-scanning equipment, helps detect serious eye conditions, including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, up to four years earlier than traditional methods, and is currently on offer at the reduced price of just £5.
The dedicated audiology centre offers a soundproof booth for customers to have their hearing tested, coupled with the latest micro-suction equipment for wax removal.
In addition, there are six test rooms and specific contact lens stations offering enhanced facilities to customers.
The store carries out 300 tests each, with daily clinics available. Opening times are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm and on Sunday, 11am to 5pm.
