Look local: Affordable eye care in Armagh

With four independents and two multiples accessible to the town, there is a healthy choice of eye care available to the 22,000 residents. The area’s name, Portadown, stems from the Gaelic for, ‘landing place of the little fort,’ built on the western banks of the River Bann, about 24 miles south of Belfast.

This town remains an important rail link for the major cities in Northern Ireland and its community was once a hub for textile production. In recent years the population has been united in economic hardship, which has demanded that local practitioners adapt to offer eye care services at a low price.
