I highly recommend Leightons Opticians…
I highly recommend Leightons Opticians in Wokingham. Not only are the staff knowledgeable, they are also friendly and helpful.
I’ve tried a couple of other local opticians in the past, and can honestly say that Leightons is head & shoulders above the rest.

Appointment for 3.30 to order new lens for my existing frames.
Arrived 3.17, checked in and was asked to take a seat.
2 assistants working - 1 had finished with her customer but spent over 10 mins just chatting. The other assistants customer needed to go in to see the optrometrist and returned to the desk after 5 minutes.
At no time was I informed that assistants were ‘running late’ or that I would be seen shortly.
I left the showroom and went to find a more professional opticians. No one phoned to ask why I had left or to ask if I wanted to make another appointment.
I was completely ignored.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience with us, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience caused.
Arriving for an appointment and not being properly acknowledged or kept informed is not the level of service we aim to provide. You should have been updated about the delay and attended to promptly, and we regret that this did not happen during your visit.
We also understand how disappointing it must have felt to leave without assistance and without any follow-up from our team.
Your comments have been shared with our staff so we can address this internally and ensure better communication and attentiveness moving forward. Experiences like yours help us identify where we need to improve.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back.
It’s no fun getting old
As an opticians Leightons thoroughly deserve all the plaudits indeed.
I attended the Swindon Branch today, as usual an excellent optical appointment in every respect. What has caused me to include in my review was one aspect. After my optical appointment I always have an enhanced picture screen of my retina. So far so good. What happened next really flummoxed me, your colleague said, that all done all we need to do is your hearing test. I was taken aback. I said I have not booked a hearing test, the courteous response was, it’s free! I sense Leightons are targeting older customers like me to build up this other part of their business.
In my view a more tactful approach would have been to have emailed before my appointment date highlighting that they are into the hearing business giving me the option or otherwise to proceed or not. I’m close to eighty years of age and fortunately so far have excellent hearing

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent visit to our Swindon branch. We are very pleased to hear that you found your optical appointment to be excellent overall, but we are sorry to learn that the hearing screening aspect left you feeling uncomfortable. That was certainly not our intention, and we appreciate you raising the concern.
We would like to reassure you that we do not target older customers in any way. As an opticians and hearing care centre, we provide services for all adults over the age of 18, and a complimentary hearing screening is offered routinely alongside eye examinations. This forms part of our duty of care to ensure we are doing our utmost for our patients’ overall sensory health.
The hearing screening is intended as an additional level of service that we pride ourselves on offering. Even when hearing is excellent, the test can provide a helpful baseline record, which can be useful if hearing changes or deteriorates later in life.
However, we completely understand that patients may not always expect this to be offered during an eye appointment, and we appreciate your feedback regarding how this could have been communicated more clearly beforehand.
Thank you again for your comments. Feedback such as yours helps us improve how we explain our services so that patients feel fully informed and comfortable during their visit. We hope to welcome you back in the future.
