Eric Rajapakse Opticians has been in Wellawatte since 1998, establishing close links with the residents of the area, as well as long distance customers.

To provide constantly improving services, the branch has relocated to bigger and spacious premises at No 529, Galle Road, Colombo 069 (10 metres away from its previous location), with parking facilities.

The new refraction room (or dark room, as commonly called) is equipped with computerized screening equipment that enables comprehensive eye testing. Furthermore, Eric Rajapakse Opticians offers eye surgeon consultation every Thursday afternoon without prior appointments. Customers benefit from the convenience of getting complete eye screening, especially for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataract, by Dr. Shamsedeen during their visit to the opticians.

Director Rajeev Rajapakse said that the optometrists have a lot of experience in the field and have established close contact with their patients.

"The optometrists are fluent in the three languages and we have many customers coming all the way from Jaffna, Batticaloa and other distant areas of the island'.

We will be able to better cater to people coming from far in the new premises", he said.

In maintaining strong relations with their outstation customers, Eric Rajapakse Opticians, Wellawatte has an ongoing promotional offer to their customers, providing free express return bus tickets to Jaffna.
