I will work with the optical lab to ensure you get the best vision and comfort possible with your new glasses. I work with VisionDirect to ensure we have the latest and safest advice and technology in eye care. This is a very exciting collaboration of Optical eye care professionals, with the amazing value and frame choice that you won't find anywhere else!" says Chloe.
