This optician in Helsinki's Citykäytävä passage belongs to the Synsam chain. It offers eye exams, contact lens exams for first-time and experienced wearers, and tailored eye tests for children over eight, while younger children are examined by an eye doctor. It works with Mehiläinen on eye doctor services. The range covers glasses, sunglasses, sports glasses and contact lenses, and glasses can be repaired here too.
A standard eye exam takes about 30 minutes and can be booked online; eye doctor appointments are booked through Mehiläinen. Booking ahead is recommended. Cards, mobile payments and Klarna are accepted. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, but there is no customer toilet.
