Optometrist Claudia Smit, commented: “We had a fantastic time visiting the pupils at Ysgol Cynwyd Sant.
“Helping children develop good eye health habits from a young age is so important. Regular eye tests help spot issues early, ensuring children have the clear vision they need to learn, play and grow confidently.
