They always had a passion to venture into new areas of entrepreneurship and explore the opportunities in business.

This was how Y&A opticians came up in Gampola under the watchful eyes of Dr and Mrs. Ajay Jeyaseelan.

The pair who started Y&A opticians, soon found out that the business was growing and needed to move into Kandy to provide an even better service to the public. "There were many people who came to us who needed complete eye care treatment under one roof and it was mainly to cater to this demand that we moved to Peradeniya Road Kandy.

"Our new location is inside Mobile Medicare Hospital (Pvt) Ltd premises where customers get the opportunity to get a free computerized eye examination and a complete eye check up by a consultant eye surgeon on an appointment basis".

Dr. and Mrs. Ajay Jeyaseelan further said, "We offer selection of designer, non designer frames and sunglasses, cosmetic and prescribed contact lenses, fashion accessories and many more available for a reasonable price with the most friendliest and experienced team offering the best service.

Also claims such as agrahara, insurance and company claims, driving license medicals can also be done".

"Since we are affiliated to Carvalho Opticians Colombo which has been in existence for over 30 years in business we can deliver an order in less than 48 hours. "We have more 'repeat customers' and it is another key to our success" they added.

Dr. Ajay Jeyaseelan said that his father, Dr.E.A. Jeyaseelan was a much respected consultant family physicians in Kandy and his reputation too was a major positive impact for their venture.

With their motto 'for all your vision needs' Y&A Opticians are now looking out to open in other areas and also will launch their web site soon to have an online service. "In addition we will also woo tourists to patronize us."

Y&A opticians is open 365 days from 7 30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Ample car parking space is also available.
