Can't recommend highly enough…
I have been coming to the Barkingside branch for many years - when it used to be caled Dollond & Aitchison (D&A Opticians). Eye tests incredibly comprehensive and conducted with extreme professionalism and courtesy. Have had some issues with contact lenses - experimented with varifocals which didin't work but they did not charge. Am now trialling a mono vision prescription - still no charge. Sameera the optometrist is exceptionally thorough and spends as much time as it takes to make sure I am happy with everyhting recommended and understand all the options. Sarad is just so polite and helpful - nothng is too much trouble and he always phones back when he says he will. Makes me feel like a VIP (I'm not) whenever I walk into the branch. I can't recommend this practice or these induividuals highly enough

I had left my prescription glasses on a train, so needed a new pair, and an update of my prescription from the optician.
Saloni had a very friendly, but no intrusive manner, she described to me exactly what would happen during my visit, and took me through initial tests kindly explaining as she went.
The Optometrist, Sukhdeep Chumber, was very professional. He gave me an extremely thorough test,
explaining all as he went. Russell then gave me some final field of vision tests, and a fitting for varifocals. He was most helpful, and explained all that he was doing during our session. The service was excellent, and I could not in any way fault it. Many thanks to all involved, as I was quite upset over losing my original glasses.

Boots Weybridge fantastic customer service
Fantastic customer service from the team at Boots Opticians in Weybridge. Meera Patel conducted a thorough and professional eye test. Then Paula picks up the reigns to place the new order and to ensure the designer frames are fitting correctly, adjusting where necessary. Always a friendly and helpful service from Paula, Angie, and Simon, this is why I choose the dynamite team in Weybridge.

I had a really positive experience at Boots Opticians on Market Street in Manchester.
My wife and I were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Chantelle was exceptionally kind, attentive and professional throughout our visit. She took great care of us and made sure we had all the help we needed, which we really appreciated.
I’d also like to give a special mention to Rahja, who was very helpful, friendly and always had a smile on her face.
It’s clear that this branch has a fantastic team who genuinely care about their customers. A big thank you to Chantelle and Rahja for making our visit such a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

It was a very thorough examination
It was a very thorough examination, even though I paid for just an eye test.i trusted the optician.
I’ve previously been to another well known opticians and I didn’t trust their advice or examination. When it was blurry through the glasses I was told I’d get used to them.

No paperwork or receipt
After eye examination at the Skegness branch I chose and paid for my new glasses and also included the optional insurance cover. After leaving store I realised I had no receipt or insurance papers so returned to store to be told it's only kept on their system.
On collection of glasses and requesting the insurance papers I was told it hadn't been actioned so I had to pay again but having not been given any form of receipt at point of sale I had no way to confirm this. I still do not have any form of receipt for either my glasses or insurance or even my prescription. Surely this is not normal.
It gets worse.
After trying out my new glasses they had got the prescription wrong. Called the branch as this was the last straw told them I wanted to return for refund to which was agreed only to be told on arrival at the store they would not refund. Have now made an official complaint so waiting to see what happens.
I'm just shocked.

My experience wasn't good
My experience wasn't good, but this was only at one of the smaller branches. The assistants where singing and joking around, which I found very unprofessional. It's good to be happy at your work however, I found it off putting and not making a good impression of the company. I felt pressured to buy their own brand of lenses and sign up to a contract, and it was stressed that if I didn't do that, I would have to pay £50 each time I had a check up. The assistant seemed irritated and spoke to me in a condescending manner as if I was a child or old person. All in all, I personally will not be going to that branch again.
