I paid more than expected but that's now long forgotten and they are more than worth it anyway. At least as important as vanity the prescription is the best I've ever had and the consultation itself was informative - I actually have a good insight (excuse the pun) in to what's going on with my eyes. I enjoyed good friendly conversation with the staff and I'm modest enough to admit she chose my frames not me!

I dropped by because of reviews on Yelp, wasn't going to buy anything necessarily but came out with a really nice pair of Oliver Peoples/ Garrett Leight sunglasses. They were no means cheap but they fitted them just perfectly. Unfortunately I lost them in Austin Texas and didn't know whether I'd be able to get another pair. They ordered them back in and gave me a discount on the original price for me since I was basically buying them twice. I also ordered a pair of lenses for my old Ray Bans, they're so helpful and quick to respond to emails. Very chatty, know about your face shape and what suits, but don't do the hard sell. If you're looking for cheap then go to your average high street store but if you've saved a few bob it's a good investment.

Up until my relatively recent move to Manchester, I only ever went to the same optician that I have…read morevisited since I was a child. Basically, I didn't trust anyone else to give me the same quality of customer care (or, having said that, the right prescription). As I have an awkward face for glasses, with a stupidly narrow nose, I typically find that nothing really fits very well, and so my old optician used to order in vast arrays of spectacles for me to try on, then spent ages trying to find the right pair. I never thought I'd find another optician that would offer such great service. In the main, I was right. I tried Specsavers, Vision Express, D & A, etc etc etc, and generally came across disinterested salespeople who had no interest or idea of what they were doing. That all changed one morning when I went to Didsbury Eyecare, a place I had been wary of because it looked a bit too trendy and expensive. But I was so so wrong. The sales assistant was extremely helpful and pointed my towards several styles that would suit. He then told me that they would have more stock arriving during the next week, and advised me to wait in case some of those were more suitable. There was no pressure to buy, just encouragement to choose the right glasses to suit. When I did find a pair I liked, I was pleased to find that they were not too expensive after all (£300 for frames and the thinnest lenses they could order - my eyes are awful so the lenses are always costly). All in all, I was very pleased with my experience here. The choice of glasses was exceptional, the customer care was extremely good, and I went away feeling very satisfied. In fact, if I had more money to spend on glasses, I'd go back to get another pair.
