OUR STORY

team

 

We opened Spec Direct’s doors in March 2003, and have been serving our local community in Barnet ever since. Over the years we have built a reputation as one of the most trusted independent opticians in the area, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing our patients with the best eye care and eyewear available.

Chris and Natia Violaris are the pioneering husband and wife duo at the centre of this proudly independent practice. Designed by Natia’s architectural hands, the practice is warm, friendly and innovative, with a future-focus on providing the very latest optical services available. Served by our dedicated and highly qualified team, we make a point of welcoming each patient with a cup of coffee, and every appointment is tailored around your specific concerns and requirements.

We fundamentally believe that your eyes aren’t just cogs in your body’s living factory. They are your windows into the world, and they require the very best clinical care. This is why every one of our decisions is governed by our desire to provide excellent service, invest in cutting-edge optical technology and hand-select the latest frames from an array of internationally sought-after designers.

We also have a strong focus on quality, so we only stock premium frames and lenses, rather than a cheap short-term fixes. So you can be assured that eyewear bought with us will be of the highest quality and will last for many years to come.
