After reading a review on Qype of another branch of D&A and finding out about the free eye tests they do if you go online first, I went online and got a free eye test at my nearest branch.
It's very conveniently located between the two Hammersmith tube stations at the end of King Street.
The staff were very pleasant when I arrived and I waited a few minutes before being seenn by the optician. He was jovial and good-humoured and the test was relaxed. This is good as I've had a problem in the past where I've been intimidated by the formality of eye exams and uncertain of how to answer and found myself trying to answer their questions with what I thought they wanted me to say rather than actually what I thought.
My eyesight has actually improved. Boom!
There was no problem using the voucher at the end of exam, again the staff were friendly and helpful.
The range of frames is quite good, but I think too expensive as you can get better deals elsewhere - although the £50 voucher (again online) does make it considerably better. read more
