I have always used an independent Optician for 58 years, this is probably only my 4th different one. They really look after you and make sure your eyes are their priority. There are cheaper opticians,... See more

Professional Advice
Ope was patient, helpful and gave useful advice when Zi was choosing frames for my new glasses.
Friendly and professional
The optician was very friendly. My son had an eye test and scan and she explained what the scan looks for and then showed us the scan on the screen. Very professional service.

Lost the personal touch
Been coming here for years and have never had a problem. This visit, although fine in itself had lost the personal touch, it was very matter of fact, maybe something lost with being bought out by a larger chain. I didn’t feel like the optometrist listened and I had to reiterate my point several times to be heard. I needed a new prescription for glasses so went down to look at new frames. I felt rushed and was told ‘they’ll turn the lights and music off in 2 minutes’. If this is the case, ask me to come back, don’t try and rush me into spending £700 on something that I’m not 100% sure of! I have been a patient of this branch since 1989 and despite all the changes of ownership, have been happy here. This latest visit has made me seriously think about changing opticians.

A very thorough eye examination and detailed discussion regarding options for glasses and lenses. Staff very helpful and well informed.
Sadly, unable to justify the costs of frames and lenses inhouse. Two pairs of glasses with Zeiss lenses purchased elsewhere at a significant lower cost.
Lovely welcoming staff
