A Durham opticians has invested a six-figure sum in a store refit, welcoming customers back with a fresh look and improved services.


The store, based on North Road in the city centre, is locally owned and run by the director team which consists of Gavin Donnelly, Andrew Craig, Akib Din and Steven Hayes, and specialises in hearing care as well as eye health.
