History
Professional Opticians was opened in 1954 by Raymond Turrell jr on Meridian street in downtown New London. Later the practice was moved to the New London shopping center in 1977 where is stayed until 1999, finding a new home in Waterford at the plaza on Clark Lane. Finally, in 2009, we relocated to the beautiful new office where we now are located, in an adjacent building in the same plaza on Clark Lane in Waterford. In 2012 Professional Opticians was sold to Dr. Mary Beaulieu and is now called Professional Eyecare. Stop by the new office and see our beautiful additions!
