After calling head office it was found that head office had never heard of such a rule or direction.

When I had a problem with my eyes years ago, they fit me in for last minute appointments, explained everything to me and provided an excellent after service. They are totally reliable and I trust them completely.

Having been to many opticians and ophthalmologists over the years, in Oxford and abroad, I can say unequivocally that this is the best experience I have ever had. As an academic who reads all day, and who has been dealing with eye discomfort for quite a long time, I am very indebted to Nikki (the very experienced optometrist) for spending so much time with me getting to the bottom of the issue. The eye exam is more expensive than elsewhere, but you get what you pay for in terms of technology and service. For instance, having spent over an hour with me on the day, she had me come back two weeks later, just to check in, free of charge. Meanwhile, Gina, the owner, spent over an hour with me helping me pick out new frames. It was exceptional service that you rarely find nowadays. I recommend iGlasses without reservation.

I tried the chat function on their website, no response. I sent a message on their facebook page, no response.

I emailed back to ask them to specify if I should wait a day, a week or a month but of course nobody bothered to reply. There's no option to cancel the order so I'll have to talk to my credit card company to get my money back. I'm sure they're lovely people in the store but their online customer service is non-existent.

You can normally get an appointment quite quickly - and the staff are an awful lot more professional than some.
