The ability to assist rural customers to arrange a partner or family booking to save on fuel and time costs is one reason for loyalty to Canon.

Very courteous and a pleasure to do business with. Passed my license with flying colours. Thank you for your assistance.

I’d just like to say what a wonderful checkup I had there today. In particular I was very impressed with Ros, her knowledge and guidance with the right glasses for me was great and made the whole experience so much easier.

I’m very excited to get my new glasses.

Callum

Amazing staff fitted me in whilst on an unplanned trip to Timaru! Above and beyond service and staff. Optometrist was very good at telling me all the results and what she was looking for! Entertaining as well!

I love the staff and the service. Dr. Martina was very thorough checking my eyes and I am so happy we go to Canon Street.
