My daughter received 2 reminders for an eye test, she doesn't have to pay as she has the NHS certificate. She got there, and the optician said she wasn't overdue, although she HAD received 2 reminders. She was asked.if she wanted to pro eed amd she said yes. She was not told she would have to pay. She HAD to pay and no matter how much we said she had reminders from, they said she wasn't due. This upset her truly. They said she would.have to return another day to talk to a manager to ask for a maybe possible refund. She was upset amd after being a client and patient from Boots for 20 years, since she was a baby, she said she will never return to Boots. Boots has lost a life time.customer due to miscommunication and upsetting a young person. A real shame. All to do with admin issues.on the system. It is not right nor fair.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your daughter's experience, particularly that she received reminders to book an eye test but was then advised she was not due one, and that she was charged despite her understanding that the appointment would be covered. We understand how upsetting and frustrating this must have been, especially as a long-standing customer of Boots Opticians. Can you please contact us at boots.customercare@boots.co.uk with a copy of your review along with the below information and we will be in touch:

My Husband and I visited the Newcastle Boots Branch (3354) last week and we're served by Helen. Her knowledge and understanding of how glasses should sit to feel comfortable in your face was outstanding. She explained so much that nobody had mentioned before and we've been wearing glasses for quite a few years! Her friendly manner made us feel comfortable and at ease. We will definitely return to see her in future

I visited Boots Opticians in Chesham…
I visited Boots Opticians in Chesham over several weeks, first for an eye examination, then for contact lens trials, and finally to order a new pair of glasses. I couldn't be happier with the service I received.
Every member of the team has been incredibly helpful, friendly, and patient throughout the whole process. They took the time to answer all of my questions, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed. Their professionalism is matched by their genuine warmth.
It's clear that everyone in the store genuinely cares about what they do and wants to make sure their customers receive the best possible care and advice. That level of commitment really stands out and is very much appreciated.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Boots Opticians in Chesham to anyone looking for excellent eye care and outstanding customer service. Thank you to the whole team for making every visit such a positive experience.

All was good apart from not being contacted to say my glasses were ready; I had to phone them after hearing nothing for over 4 weeks, only to be told that my glasses were ready for collection. They had been marked as multiple, although I had only ordered one pair.

The local community is very fortunate.
I specifically chose this branch in Burgess Hill because of a highly skilled and lovely optical specialist who now works here. The local community is very fortunate. She’s not only exceptionally skilled and meticulous with great attention to detail, but also warm and compassionate, especially when working with trauma patients and those who are neurodivergent.
