The Optometrist Partner, Mark has always worked for Specsavers, having started his pre-reg with Specsavers Sunderland and then buying into Peterlee 3 years later.

As you would expect the store works with the latest technology such as Nidek Fundus, Tonoref, Phoropters etc and are always looking at new technology that will help Optometrists give the best patient care.

Seaham are lucky enough to have a close relationship with the Sunderland Eye infirmary - the best in Europe for urgent referrals, so as an Optometrist you have great options with your development.
