Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Wonderful service. Really thorough eye examination.

At a chain opticians, my wife received an incorrect contact lens prescription and was struggling with blurred vision. So 12 months ago she started going to the Eye Place. They offer an outstanding service. Alex really listens to you and is tremendously helpful. Their equipment offers unparalleled testing. I have just been for the first time and can attest to their professionalism, wisdom, advice and help. At no point did I feel rushed or coerced into making decisions. Recommended.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

We’re really pleased we were able to help your wife after her previous experience, and it’s wonderful to hear she’s now feeling confident and comfortable with her prescription. Getting contact lenses exactly right can make such a difference to day-to-day life, so we’re glad we could get things back on track for her.

It’s also fantastic to hear about your own first visit. At The Eye Place, we pride ourselves on taking the time to listen, explain clearly, and ensure every patient feels completely comfortable and never under pressure. Your comments about our professionalism and thorough testing truly mean a lot to the whole team - and especially to Alex.

Thank you again for your recommendation. We look forward to seeing you both at your next appointments 😊

Despite my spectacles taking a wee bit…

Despite my spectacles taking a wee bit longer than expected, not due to The Eye Place, I was delighted with the service provided. My late wife and I had previously always used Bush - now acquired by the current owners. The interior refurbishment, the quality and range of products, the professionalism provided by the staff and just the all round very positive feeling of helpfulness and care was delightful.
I will certainly be back if my spectacle needs change and I have absolutely no hesitation in commending them unhesitatingly to anyone seeking eye products and exceptional care and service in delightful surroundings. The Reverend J.E. Marsburg

Thank you so much, Reverend Marsburg, for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words.

We truly appreciate your patience regarding the slight delay with your spectacles, and we’re grateful for your understanding that it was outside of our control. It means a great deal to hear that, despite this, you were delighted with the service you received.

We’re honoured to continue the legacy of Bush and to care for patients who have trusted the practice for many years. Your comments about the refurbishment, our product range, and the professionalism and helpfulness of our team are genuinely heart-warming. Creating a welcoming environment where patients feel valued and well cared for is exactly what we strive for.

Thank you again for your recommendation - it really does mean so much to us. We look forward to welcoming you back whenever you need us.

I had an eye exam at the Dore branch…

I had an eye exam at the Dore branch and problems with my eyes were made aware to me that Specsavers had missed. Definitely worth spending the money at an independent place like this, as my sight through my new glasses and lenses is fab now.

Thank you so much for your review.

We’re really pleased you chose to visit our Dore practice and that we were able to identify issues that had previously been missed. Thorough examinations are at the heart of what we do, so it’s reassuring to hear that you felt the difference compared to your experience at Specsavers.

It’s fantastic to know you’re now enjoying clear, comfortable vision with your new glasses and lenses - that’s exactly the outcome we aim for. Thank you again for trusting an independent practice like ours in Dore. We look forward to seeing you again at your next appointment.

Could not have had better care

Could not have had better care. I had a problem with my eye and after a very thorough investigation from Anaa was advised I needed to go to an eye hospital. Anaa sent over letter and images to local hospital, contacted them on my behalf and made an urgent appointment for me and kept me updated throughout. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

We’re thrilled to hear that Anaa was able to provide the care and support you needed during such a worrying time. Ensuring our patients feel informed, supported, and looked after is exactly what we aim for, so it’s wonderful to hear this made a real difference for you.

We’ll make sure Anaa sees your kind words - she’ll be delighted! Thank you again for trusting us with your care.

Consistently Professional and Friendly

The Eye Place - Hessle repaired my glasses that had lost a screw promptly and without charge. This is consistent with high level of service offered over the last five years.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a loyal patient over the past five years.

We’re delighted we could quickly get your glasses back in perfect working order - no one likes a loose screw! Your recognition of our consistent service really means a lot to the whole team. We look forward to continuing to provide the same friendly, professional care for many years to come.

I had an eye test at The Eye Place in Belsize Park. Cost me £80 and a free eye test was just as good.

I had an eye test at The Eye Place and paid £80 for a luxury test (Most tests are £35 or free if you buy with the shop). The prescription turned out to be incorrect, as when I got my lenses back from SpecSavers in Swiss Cottage, everything was blurred. SpecSavers kindly gave me a free test, which discovered The Eye Place prescription was incorrect. The SpecSavers eye test was actually better than The Eye Place eye test, so don't waste your money. I asked for a refund from The Eye Place, or for some compensation for my losses, and they refused and were uncompromising. They didn't care that I lost a £130 by using their services. Terrible customer support, zero customer retention from me. I will never shop there again. I suggest everyone avoids this eye test.
