I collected my prescription glasses this weekend from Boots Opticians Fosse Park Leicester and want to thank Gurpreet for her attentiveness in ensuring that the fit was correct and asking pertinent questions as to the quality and suitability of the vision. Gurpreet took time to help me with my selection of frames during my last visit which was very much appreciated and necessary. The advice as regards suitability was spot on. I have visited various high street opticians over the years but I will certainly be sticking with Boots going forward. The attention and follow up care I received from Gurpreet was most professional and knowledgeable. The best I have experienced. Thank you.

I have just picked up my varifocal glasses & even more-excitingly, my varifocal contact lens from Boots opticians in Merseyway, Stockport. I was very fortunate in having Stephen recommended to me as a contact lens specialist & that he is! As I have always worn rigid gas permeable lenses (& not the usual soft lenses), I asked if it was possible to make a varifocal lens. Despite having astigmatism, he has managed to design a lens, which means my vision is near perfect for both long & short distance. I have had to wear reading glasses for close-up work until Stephen’s perseverance with my latest prescription. I cannot recommend him enough.

Very friendly, professional staff in Bedford Retail Centre - Krishna Ghelani, Optometrist and Rebecca Taylor, Optical Adviser. I have used Boots Opticians for my eye tests and glasses for 26 years, and had laser surgery by a Boots eye surgeon in Nottingham in 2004.

Let me start by saying the service received from the optician was and has always been exceptional and from Paula today after my third visit to store and third pair of glasses!
The first pair of glasses I chose myself as there was no salesperson helping, I approached them once I had chosen my glasses, I asked her if they appeared too big for me and without even looking at the fit of the glasses said ‘no’. The glasses were ordered and on pick up seemingly adjusted to fit well? After wearing the glasses for the weekend they were very uncomfortable and falling off my face. I returned to store to be told ‘ they are too big for you!’ . I chose another pair, again nothing was explained to me about the fit or style. 10 days later I picked the glasses up and they were fitted, however after a couple of days they were hurting behind my ears and were too tight. Again I returned to be seen by another sales person who in my opinion couldn’t be bothered, she adjusted the glasses , she didn’t check them to ensure they fitted well and again the fit was appalling. Today I returned to store again ready to say I wanted to cancel everything including contact lenses subscription. I was taken into a private room by Paula who explained everything in detail to me about the service I should have received, she took the time to explain the fit off glasses and help with suitability. I feel if I had received this service at the first appointment I would not be on my third pair of glasses in 3 weeks! The cost to the company must be enormous as I feel I may not be the only customer treated this way . Thank you Paula for taking the time with me today and ultimately keeping my custom . I think this needs to be addressed by management as the service I have received on these occasions is not what I have previously experienced from this store.

Winton Bournemouth Boots Opticians provided an excellent service from Viola who did the first tests to helping me select new frames and Sarah the optometrist who explained what she was testing and what the results were. An excellent team can thoroughly recommend this branch and all their staff. Dianne Stacey

I visited Boots Opticians Gravesend on the morning of 5th May to ask for an appointment I thought, for a later date.But I was there being looked after for three hours.I'm totally impressed and I would like to thank in particular Sobya for her diligence andcompetence (and lovely personality). The whole team were excellent for their attention and courtesy,including Emily. Apologies that I can't remember everyone's name.
After extensive tests,Sobya forwarded my details to Queen MarysHospital Sidcup and by the end of the afternoon I was contacted to arrange an emergency appointment there which I attended the next day.I feel very fortunate.

I had an eye test yesterday,12th May 2026, at Boots opticians Castle Street branch Norwich. I have been a customer of that branch for many years, even though I live some distance away. Pritesh the optician is the reason I travel the distance. I have complete and utter faith and trust in his what he tells me about my eyes and the glasses he prescribes. His manner in the way he works also gives one confidence in his opinions.
Whilst there yesterday I also had the pleasure to meet Sean and Chloe who were extremely customer friendly being very helpful. I have to go back and collect my glasses in a few days and I will be assisted by Chloe again. These three people are a credit to your company and I, with customer experience this good, will obviously be using and recommending this particular branch of Boots opticians for many years to come.
