I visited last year for my first full-length eye-test, and the Optician, a very gentle and entertaining chap, really did a fantastic job. He went into great detail to explain various conditions to me, not just the symptoms but the scientific causes, and seemed to enjoy sharing information. The price was good, and the service was excellent.

Inexpensive? Nope. Really nice staff with great and caring customer service? Yes, definitely…read more I bought a gorgeous and pricy pair of glasses here a couple of years ago and they've taken care of me ever since. £25 for my eye exam, £90 for my lenses (my vision is quite poor).... not gonna tell you how much I spent on my frames... but all taken care of promptly and with a smile. They even helped me no problem when I wanted to order my contacts in the US (they had to send my prescription) rather than through them because it was cheaper. When I broke said expensive frames (that colour was sadly discontinued), they offered to order two pairs of the same frames in different colours so I could try them out. Sure, you can get inexpensive glasses elsewhere, but this is a small, privately owned optometrist that will really take care of your vision... stylishly!

Popped in here on the off chance of speaking to someone about a concern with my eye. With a warm…read morefriendly welcome, I was able to get great information and advice on the spot without an appointment or being asked to come back. I didn't feel like I was being rushed and time and patience was given. Came back, following such a pleasant first experience, to have my eyes tested. This again was done on the spot (although you can, of course make appointments) with a through examination and questioning about my sight. Any 'silly' questions I had were answered. Optician was friendly and able to break down any clinical terms in layman's to be fully understood. Advice given but not pushed on you and felt no obligation to purchase anything further. Whilst they may not have your usual high street designer frames, they have a good selection of designer frames to select from. Of course, they are also happy to put their lenses in frames you may have already. Having gone through a comprehensive review of my eyesight I got a couple of new pairs of prescription glasses. I feel like I am living in a HD world now in comparison to what I had before. Thank you!

They were friendly and helpful and repaired the glasses in less than 3 minutes. My son's vision is 20/100 without glasses, so they saved our vacation by basically restoring his sight!

At Boots Opticians the display models are exactly that, display models.
