Friends and family had recommended varifocals but I had reservations. I was so grateful for the objective and professional advice I was given by the optician at Marchmont, which enabled me to weigh up the advantages of different lenses before making my own decision. I did not feel pressured and was reassured that I would be given full and sympathetic follow-up care after buying my varifocals. There was an impressive selection of fashionable frames to choose from at my leisure and I was delighted to be able to choose a second pair of glasses free!

Always really helpful. I don't even live here and this is where I come to. Can't recommend enough.read more

I was in a panic because my optician is back in the US. I went to 20 20 Opticians after finding it via a google search. Nik in particular was very helpful and fixed my glasses for me free of charge, basically saving my vacation from ruin. Thank you so much, Nik. And thank you, 20 20 Opticians. I really appreciate the help at the late hour in the day and without an appointment. I highly recommend this store. Also, as I was waiting, I was looking at the selection of womens' eyewear. Had I not just bought some in the US. I would've bought another pair because they had some really nice choices. If you have any eye care needs, 20 20 Opticians is the place to go. Thank you!

I'm headed home in just over two weeks so I did not need more than a month's supply, just enough to get me through the end of my travels so I can order more when I get home, and explained this to the optician there. Not only did they insist that I get not only my prescription but the notes from my last check up from my home optician, but after I did bring those documents to them they outright refused to order any contacts for me unless I first paid 35 pounds to re-check my prescription, on top of the price of the contacts. I travel quite frequently and have had to order contacts in situations like these before and have never had to go through this. I've had better treatment in third world countries. Will never return!!!

If you need a new pair of glasses or two...come to this place! I was shopping around for the most…read moreaffordable pair of glasses and Specsaver was the place I decided to purchase some new ones because of their affordable prices and various offers. Since I alway wear glasses, I try to switch up the design and colour. This place has many different types of glasses that fits the shape of your face, style, and personally preferences. Most importantly they have different price ranges. You can get frames from £25 to £100+. The majority of their frames fall under £69 and the designer glasses starts around 80+. Mind you, the type of lens you want also changes the price and the add ons. The staff here are AMAZING and friendly. They know their stuff, and I have to give a shout out to Samantha who helped me cause she was awesome! She took the time to make sure I was happy with the glasses I selected. I always have a hard time finding good fitting frames cause of my petite face, but she was happy to show me different types and even looked into the hidden stash they have in the storage to see if others fit better. Another good thing about this place is the quick turn around for the glasses. Usually it can take 10-14 days to get glasses with proper prescription, but I got it in 5 days! The staff that helped me when I picked up my glasses were equally as nice and helpful. She made sure the frames fit and since it was a bit lose, she used her magic to make sure it fit me perfectly. I only bought my glasses here since I had my prescription, but you can also get your eye sight and hearing test in this location.

My local Opticians…read more Wouldn't consider ever going to another Opticians than Specsavers really. I'm on their lens mail at £15 a month which gets me my lenses delivered to my door, plus all my eye checks and replacement lenses when I need them. It's always busy in here, always, and sometimes the waiting time can be thoroughly upsetting. On more than a few occasions I have waited 20 minutes plus from when my appointment is, always arriving ahead of schedule. They have a variety of frames on different price plans with designer frames and unisex ones, with discounts for students, OAP's and people on benefits. The staff are curteous and professional and it is clean and tidy inside. Curse those waiting times though.
