I recently had my eyes tested here, as I had a voucher for a free eye test. It never seems to be…read moreparticularly busy. Following the test, I was given a copy of my prescription and although they showed me some glasses, there was no pressure to buy. The glasses seemed quite expensive, but now I have the prescription I can go anywhere to buy glasses. I also took my eight year old daughter in here for a test and the staff were excellent with her. The woman explained everything she was doing and showed her pictures of the inside of peoples eyes. She loved it.

Located two stores down from the main Boots store, this small opticians is modern looking, very…read moreorganised in layout and full of great offers. The opticians and assistants are friendly, knowledgeable and down-to-earth offering a friendly opinion when asked and making things as easy as possible. As pleasant as a trip to get you eyes tested could possibly be and even better you can collect advantage card points on you purchases!

To think how I'd always liked the Hitchin branch, this one was a complete disappointment. I went…read morehere a couple of times and will not be going back. Firstly the place is dark inside even with the lights on great setting for trying on glasses no. No! The opticians themselves are very friendly, but I'd have given that up just to get a pair of glasses that were correct for my vision. I was given ones that definitely were not my prescription, I know this because 2 weeks into wearing them I still couldn't see right to walk down stairs safely. I finally gave up on them as it was just dangerous. You may be reading this and think oh it's a one off, but they did the same to my father who was even more unimpressed as unlike me he had had to pay full price for his as he was not under 19. Since changing opticians to another I have reviewed in the area I was told there they've heard comments like mine before. So if you need a strong prescription or don't have the time to keep going back, I would recommend going elsewhere. Which is such a shame as they do fantastic offers like free sunglasses and the like. But when it comes to your eyes offers are not the most important thing.

Nothing was too much trouble for Jeremy and Lesley and they were determined to ensure that I was happy with my new glasses.

I needn't have worried however, Jeremy was very professional and took the time to explain in simple terms that I did need glasses. As there was a wide range of frames available I ordered my prescription glasses and returned the next day to collect them. Great service and happy to recommend.

Clearly I had for years needed eye surgery, and all the 'sausage machine' chain optician I had been using had done was sell me another couple of pairs of 'specs' every two years. With Visioncare, there was no attempt whatever to sell me anything, just an excellent test that took over an hour. Highly recommended.
