A town optician is set to close as it undergoes a £50,000 transformation to improve its eye and ear care service. 

Specsavers on West Street, Marlow will close on November 18 and 19 as part of a £50k makeover to 'significantly enhance customer experience'. 

The project will see a new 'easy-to-navigate layout' brought in with improved consulting rooms, new LED illuminated frame displays and a new digital screen. 

The whole store will also be redecorated with the majority of the work taking place after-hours, allowing it to remain open as much as possible.

Iman Ali Shah, Specsavers Marlow store director, said staff are "really excited" about the week-long work which comes four years after the store opened.

The director added: "The improvement works demonstrate our desire to bring the best possible service to the people of Marlow and surrounding areas. 

"We believe the investment will bring real benefits to our customers, combining the latest eye care, hearing care and retail technology to provide a highly professional and ultra-modern service."

A spokesperson for the company added: "Over the past four decades, Specsavers has been committed to investing in and staying at the forefront of optical and audiology technology and trends, offering a wide range of services, including eye tests, prescription eyewear and contact lenses, as well as hearing checks, hearing aids and wax removal.

"Specsavers, which also offers a Home Visits service for those unable to visit one of its 1,000 locally owned stores, provides a range of eye care services that not only help to maintain eye health and vision, but also help detect broader health issues."
