I've been going to this opticians for years and I can't recommend them enough. For a start they are…read moremuch more genuinely and reasonably priced than all the other opticians in the area but on top of that they offer a very personalised service and have a very welcoming family atmosphere. All of the staff are very well trained and extremely helpful and will not only take a great deal of time to advise you on frame selection but will always fit you in if you have any problems or need to see the optician urgently. It's just a very caring and friendly place where they will get to know you as a person and cater to your individual needs, and offer a much pleasanter experience than the larger, more expensive and not always particularly accurate branded optician stores.

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.

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.

Sited between Argos and Sainsburys, there are two carparks nearby - St Marys Road, and Sainsburys (which is the closer, and has better facilites for disabled/mother & baby).

A wide range of frames, including hypoallergenics and children's, you should be able to find something to suit everyone, with a fast, yet accurate, turn around on orders.

When I had a problem with my eyes years ago, they fit me in for last minute appointments, explained everything to me and provided an excellent after service. They are totally reliable and I trust them completely.

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!
