Personal statement

Our aim at HCCO is to provide quality eyecare for those patients who are unable to attend a conventional High St Optician. According to popular research there are many hundreds of thousands of housebound people - mainly elderly- who are completely unaware that this service even exists. So we hope that we can raise awareness amongst patients & other practitioners/health care professionals alike.
