Smita's Xmas party Dec 11th 2011

We held a party for our patients and vision therapy clients on Sunday, 11th December, 2011.

This open day was between 11 am and 3pm.

There was lots of activities for kids and an opportunity to meet with Smita, as well as with Naresh, the practice manager.
You can view our eyewear range in a more relaxed atmosphere.

This is (it was) an opportunity for us both to thank you for your custom over the past year.

Best wishes,
Smita and Naresh.
