From eye test to choice of frames and lens it was a pleasurable and helpful process. Albert Russell was brilliant with his help and advice choosing my lens and frames to suit my circumstances. Albert had a great deal of experience and made sure I was happy with the choices.
Thanks Albert you’re a star!

The optician was very thorough.
The optician was very thorough in her series of tests and performed a test I had not experienced before. Overall, she exercised great care with every procedure. In general, the atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly. However, the seating area needs to be arranged so that customers are not left facing each other.

Friendly and helpful team
Friendly and helpful team. Knowledgeable staff. I have been going to Leightons Reading for years and I would not go to any other optician. They provide the personal touch that is very hard to find elsewhere.

had a wonderful experience at Leightons Opticians & Hearing Care in Reading. I visited after accidentally bending the hinges on my glasses, and I was warmly welcomed by a gentleman who was assisting another customer but still took the time to ask if I needed help. While I waited, another friendly member of staff became available, repaired my glasses, and refused any payment when I asked how much I owed. Their kindness and generosity left me speechless. I cannot thank the team enough, and I will definitely return to Leightons for my next eye test and glasses. Highly recommended!
