OK so they may have very little by way of a grasp of English grammar but the guys at Sunglass Hut…read moremore than make up it with their huge range of designer brand sunglasses. Chanel, D & G, D&G, DKNY, Miu Miu, Oakley, Persol, Police, Prada and Versace are all in stock and will delight anybody going for that 'hungover celebrity' look. Personally I think sunglasses are for people who aren't tough enough to squint so I generally negotiate my summers the Clint Eastwood way but even I can appreciate the lure of this store, it's just so shiny and posh- like the toilets of a really exclusive nightclub!!

Unfortunatley this place does exactly what it says on the tin! It sells sunglasses and only…read moresunglasses!!Selling brands such as Ray Ban, Bulgari, Police, Oakley and Burberry to name a few.They also sell snazzy cases to put them in!!!!

A large Boots Store on the upper level of Meadowhall, it has been refurbished recently, so the…read morestore does look a lot better now (It was quite a mess while the work was being done) There is a Pharmacy and an Opticians, the facilities are atypical of your regular Boots store. The staff seem friendly enough, but don't seem to stand out compared to other stores. While I do like the new look of the store which is different and innovative compared to other Boots locations, I do think the layout could have been clearer (Eg easier to find things) 4*

There seem to be two big eyeglass providers on the High Street in the UK. About 2 years ago I got a…read morereminder from "the other one" that I was due for an eye exam and being fully vaccinated, and diligently wearing masks etc I decided to indeed get my eyes tested. However, while my glasses (varifocal, both normal and shades) are fine I did remember that service and after sales service left something to be desired so I decided to try Vision Express and I am glad that I did! Making the initial appointment was simple (online) and the whole process (even in these pandemic days) was a pleasant experience. The optician himself was excellent, professional and a delight to chat with on a variety of topics. And the good news is that my eyes are healthy and have barely changed - but I can keep the old ones as standbys in case of loss or breakage (although I paid a refundable (discount for my future glasses) £39 a pair to cover repair or replace the in case of breakage. Then took my time to select my frames from a bewildering array but ended up going with Ted Bakers for both. Excellent process and experience in getting fitted and selecting all my options. I would have my new glasses in 2 weeks but lo and behold barely a week later I get the text and call that they are ready. The next day I visit, try them on - perfect! Slight adjustments to the frames to make them sit optimally and I was smiling and ready to go! I will be back!

I was horrified by the price quoted by my optician and simply couldn't afford to buy a pair. I checked out a few websites and was delighted to receive my brown "Blaze" sunreaders.
