All around fantastic optician. They're not the cheapest in the city, but the price point is…read moremid-range and you get catered customer service like that expected at a high-end shop. The staff take the extra time to order in a great selection of frames - from designers worn by Beyoncé to affordable but chic and unique shapes. I walk by here all the time going to the coffee shop next door and when my annual eye appointment was due, decided to give them a try. I'm so glad I did. Booking an appointment is really simple. The optometrist I saw was really thorough, great at informing me about my eyes and tests conducted, and took the time to listen and answer all of my questions without rushing. I've recently had some optical migraines and she was great at making recommendations for proper eye care and next steps. I ordered a sixth month supply of contacts and a new set of glasses. The staff made sure to calculate all my options for discounts to ensure I got the best price on contacts. When picking up my contacts I also wanted to try on frames. The staff member assisted me around the shop. He has a great eye for fashion and was able to pick out perfect frame shapes and colors that suited my style. He was never pushy and even recommended a cheaper frame since I don't wear glasses every day. They are all about building great relationships and providing excellent customer service - not just making a sale. I really like that. If you're looking for an optician with excellent customer care and a wide selection of beautiful frames, give Piccadilly a visit.

I haven't yet bought a pair of glasses from here but just one look in the window alone never mind…read moreupon walking inside my just brain explodes. I love wearing glasses and if I could afford a pair for everyday of the week then I would have a wardrobe just for them. Piccadilly has a great range of designers which also means the frames alone are on the expensive end of the spectrum before you even add the cost of your lenses. What you have to remember though is that this is something you will wear everyday for at least two years till your next eye test and so you want them to look good. I always find it really hard choosing a new pair of glasses and visit lots of opticians to check out the ranges and snap myself in a host of frames to help with my decision making. If you are looking for a distinct, quality frame then you can't fail to find one in here, it just might take you a while to decide which pair.

This is an excellent independent optician, one that I would choose over more well known high street…read morecompetitors. It doesn't matter if you're looking for an eye examination, designer frames, sunglasses or contact lenses. Pabari Opticians are more than happy to help. They have been established for over 20 years giving top level service to Birmingham and its surrounding areas. I always thought that my eye sight was very good, until I reached the age of 31 and things in the distance started to become blurred. I explained this to the optician and he recommended an eye examination. The diagnosis is that I'm slightly short sighted. He gave me options for corrective care and lens. They believe that every patient's requirements are different, some might like the latest cutting edge frame designs and others perhaps might want something a little more traditional. I was impressed with the range and got some great Ray Ban pair of glasses.

It's starting to happen; my eyes are taking a while to focus when I stop looking at the computer…read morescreen, things that I would normally be able to read at a distance are now getting a bit fuzzy... not long until I will need my first pair of glasses. With this in mind I decided to do some pre-emptive research on local opticians. The Pabari in Moseley has a good selection of glasses and the salespeople there are very helpful. They have a website with some information, but, unfortunately, they do not have models of glasses online. They do have a twitter though, which update their sales. The store has good variety of glasses and a good range of prices too. I can see that I will be visiting them for a purchase soon.

Feedback I would…read morelike to provide you with positive feedback ANNA and DAN at The Birmingham high street specsavers which I believe is the best in Birmingham. They are all brilliant in all aspects, their role, their approach, their listening, understanding and their response to the issues in finding best ways to address them. They are not judgemental nor bias. I fully appreciate their time, her hard work and effort. Although it is their job, they truly take that extra mile (goes above and beyond) to ensure that they provide efficient advice and service. And I cannot thank them enough. It is very rare to find one that is very dedicated, who listens and understands. And is willing to do a job to the best of their ability. I greatly value their role and hardwork. And I greatly thank them all. Well recommended specsavers in Birmingham.

I have been a customer of Specsavers for about 7 years now for both Contact Lenses and Glasses…read more Based in a very central location on New Street, they are easy to find and have a good selection of lens options and frames. The main reason I go back is the price. They are heads and shoulders over their competitors in terms of the cost for glasses and lenses. I have had all manner of wonderful glasses from them over the years (including my current favorite - the Leopard print winged designer frames I am currently rocking). People ALWAYS ask where I get my glasses from! The downside is that their service is a very mixed bag. The staff are helpful, patient and polite; but sometimes their ordering systems aren't great. With my current Contact lens direct debit I have been told 3 different ways of getting my hands on my supply and have been advised incorrectly (you guessed it) 3 different times. It's not so much of an issue for me as I tend to only wear my lenses at weekends, but if you were a staunch everyday wearer - this would be very frustrating if your supply was short. To give an idea of prices, I pay around £230 for 2 pairs of designer glasses (and get my sight test for free as I am on Contact lens Direct Debit). For my lenses, I get 10 pairs a month of daily disposables a month and my checkups for £9 per month - so not bad at all. I would recommend them, but always book an appointment! If you walk-in, you can suffer horrendously long waiting periods.

SW Optics is hidden in the University of Birmingham campus so you may think it's only for students…read more- wrong! I joined this optician whilst I was a student here and have since introduced many relatives who are older and younger and have nothing to do with the university. Siromi, the owner, is a sweet and friendly lady who is very helpful and reliable. She will ensure she gets your lens and spectacles ready for when you visit her and will call you in advance if they're delayed for some reason. She has a vast range of frames and sunglasses, and given the loyalty I have accumulated with her I always get a discount! Unlike the chain opticians on the High Street, you're guaranteed to get tailored treatment at SW Optics. Parking can be a problem during term time. I park on the Pritchatts Road and enter the university from the entrance near the sports grounds.
