Irwin, for instance, specializes in contact lens fittings. That kind of personalized attention and customer serv- ice is timed with quick and efficient prepartion of eye- glasses and contact lenses, says Judi. "We do have our own lab and provide one-hour serv- ice. All a customer has to do is bring in their prescrip- tion,” she said. And for those who think glasses are just glasses, think again. “Styles change,” said Judi in adding that frames should complement a person's features. The choice of lens and frame may also be dictated by what a person does for a living and how a particular lens and frame is suitable for the person's job. "That's one of the things we do, consullations with people," said Judi, bs 250-638-7667 ¢: - OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK www.tkp-biz.com/northerneyesoptical | fr ® ity a vite Ete In keeping with family tradition, Betty nN e | d 4 Barton is celebreting the twelt anni- versar ton Construction in » On time an ersary of Barto * on hudget \L Terrace under her able leadership.
