It may be a little shabby upstairs but they do a very thorough examination and they're all very friendly and laid back. It's the only optician I've ever been to which (I think) get my prescription right every time. I recommended this place to my girlfriend and after a couple of bad experiences with prisms and other opticians, they got her right first time. Sorted her out with a good quality set of frames too. Big time recommendation.

As well as the usual range of pharmaceuticals and nail clippers, you'll also find: an opticians, a food section, a skincare advisor, a suncare advisor, an instant photo booth, a photo development lab, a body mass index machine, a chlamydia screening service, cervical cancer vaccinations, flu vaccinations, a dermo-analyser unit, a hair retention programme and a full holiday section, complete with sunscreen, swimwear, sunglasses, hats - and most importantly - those tiny travel-sized versions of your favourite wash stuff, so that you don't have to lug that massive bottle of head and shoulders you keep in the bathroom all the way to Timbuktu. Phew!

Ever since Boots introduced its lunchtime meal deal I have been a real regular customer (and I…read moredon't mean in the bowel department! Guffaw guffaw!) The £2.99 deal which gets you a sandwich, drink and snack. If you play it right you can get more than a fivers worth of food and drink for less than £3. The savings soon mount up. If you want to do this go for the special edition sandwiches and wraps, an innocent smoothie and a packet of mentos chewing gum. Yum Me. The other great thing about Boots is the advantage points system and the vouchers you often get for money off cosmetics and hair products. This Boots is also going a little more upmarket with department store type make up counters, Benefit, Max Factor and the high end Boots own brand cosmetic range, No.7 but for the more price conscious folk there's always the lower end No.17 and good ole Collection 2000.

I have never been to another Vision Express so I don't know what kind of service to expect but I…read morewanted to make a special mention of this branch. I got my eyes tested here about five years ago, got my new pair of glasses and have sat on them at regular intervals over the past five years. Every time I have taken the squashed and broken glasses back to them they have repaired them with no questions asked and no hassle; Just polite friendly service. They might not be the cheapest in town, with all of the people handing out discount flyers for other chains in this city, but I will certainly be getting my glasses from here in the future. They have recently had a makeover and are looking very slick indeed; they even offered to photograph my eyeballs (?) so I could see behind them. Definitely a Facebook profile photo if I ever take them up on their kind offer.

Came in for a refund but they refused as, again, the record of me buying them could not be found. Absolutely furious and disgusted. You'll be better off with the £1 primark glasses than anything from this place, they last significantly longer and less chance of getting completely scammed through utter incompetence.

This is agreat little opticians. The staff are fantastic and always wanting to help - last time I…read morehad to pick glasses I was on my own and the lady gave me loads of time trying to help me pick the best frames! They are not cheap, but the quality and care given with eye tests and contact lens appointments is brilliant - you dont feel like you are being rushed through and they dont pressurise you to have things you dont really want like many other of the more claain opticians do. They also will ring you up to remind you about appoinments and when things are ready for collection. Their client care is great also, and when the nose rests of my glasses last broke (of my own doing) they fixed it straight away and free of charge - what more could you ask for! I would recommend this optician over any other in Bristol, especially any of the chain stores.

Absolutely the finest collection of decent frames in Bristol, bar none…read more I am fussy with specs and often buy mine in London at special places. Do not be put off by the look of this opticians. The frames are very well selected and not necessarily expensive. Saw a couple of fabulous ones for less than £50. Very fine aesthetic. This shop is open during the week but only one Saturday per month and they leave a message on their answerphone to let you know which one that is. Friendly, helpful and with really, really good choice of frames. And much more trendy than anywhere else in town...even better than most in London and I've been picky with frames since the late 80's.

Up on Whiteladies Road, this private opticians offers a really personal service in a pleasant and…read morelaid back atmosphere. I've used this branch for many years, and each time the optician has seen me promptly, taken me through an assesment very clearly and dealt with things in a generally highly proffessional way. They have a wide range of glasses displayed on the ground floor of the shop, and the assistant will be happy to take you through each example that you like. The assessments take place on the first floor in a separate examination room. The service doesn't cost the world either, and you know that you're getting a good quality service for the price that you pay.

I've been getting a great deal on my contact lenses here for years and I honestly can't remember the last time the prices went up. I first came here on personal recommendation after one of those bigger, chain-style opticians, gave me the wrong prescription for lenses and when I went back a week later with blood red eyeballs, they told me it was all my fault! David Phillips discovered the error and my life with lenses has been pain free ever since. It might not have the trendiest spec frames on offer but I have to admit I like the friendly and local service, rather than the impersonal feel of bigger opticians
