Six-figure refurbishment for Elgin opticians

AN OPTICIANS on Elgin High Street has undergone a six-figure refurbishment.

The town's Specsavers shop has undergone a £400,000 investment and is aiming to modernise, improve customer experience and offer advanced eye health and hearing services.

Visitors are now welcomed to a new-look interior, a larger waiting area and a wider selection of frames on display.

All test rooms are now fully equipped with the latest clinical equipment for eye examinations, with one soundproof room for audiology services. There is now also two wheelchair accessible consultation rooms.

Around £80,000 alone has been invested in state-of-the-art technology and optical equipment including optical coherence tomography (OCT). This scan can help detect eye conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma much earlier and help prevent sight loss.

Peter Taylor, store director in Specsavers Elgin, said: "This investment gives our team the ability to enhance the services to the local community, and the updates ensure we can provide the best possible experience for all customers.

"The addition of OCT scan allows our professional team to detect and manage conditions, with a level of diagnostic capability which previously would have needed a hospital visit."
