Something different.

I love my Optician Punch in Duston village, but i wanted glasses that were different to the run of the mill frames and colours.

I found Sheinman who have an extensive range of styles, shapes, colours, etc. I visited at least 3 times before I finally made a decision and all the staff were patient with me and extremely helpful.
