Helen resolved an eye strain issue for me that other opticians had failed to pick up on. Her attention to detail, knowledge and skill at explaining are second to none. Highly recommend.

Helen gave me an excellent eye test and was extremely accommodating and helpful. It was a much nicer experience than going to a chain and Brophy's prices are very reasonable.

Excellent service! Quickly, and inexpensively, repaired two pairs of glasses which got bent out of shape. The opticians around the corner wouldn't even look at them. Family run business too. Highly recommend!
