I dropped by because of reviews on Yelp, wasn't going to buy anything necessarily but came out with a really nice pair of Oliver Peoples/ Garrett Leight sunglasses. They were no means cheap but they fitted them just perfectly. Unfortunately I lost them in Austin Texas and didn't know whether I'd be able to get another pair. They ordered them back in and gave me a discount on the original price for me since I was basically buying them twice. I also ordered a pair of lenses for my old Ray Bans, they're so helpful and quick to respond to emails. Very chatty, know about your face shape and what suits, but don't do the hard sell. If you're looking for cheap then go to your average high street store but if you've saved a few bob it's a good investment.

I spent two hours in this opticians today. I have perfect vision, but ended up in here on an…read moreelongated mission to help my friend choose some new glasses. It took so long! Firstly, we obviously went through all the comical and inappropriate glasses he could wear and that made him look ridiculous. You know how some glasses work for some people and on others people just make them look silly? Well, loads of those. And then once we'd finally chosen some that looked half-decent the whole myriad of options of lens thickness came into play. Seriously, if you've got bad eyes, need strong glasses but don't want them to be Dexter thick then you need to pay hundreds and hundreds of pounds to get thin lenses. Buying glasses is a seriously costly business. Bad times indeed. The assistants in D&A were very helpful if a bit out of touch with what would actually look good on my mate. The man we spoke to had great things to say about face size and proportion and lines and stuff which was great, but then totally undermined himself by suggesting some awful glasses that were totally inappropriate for my friend and made him look twenty years older than he was. And then he had to choose whether to get a free second pair, or get over a hundred quid off the price by moving his contacts prescription to D&A which would be more than he already paid at his other opticians but did he want the discount? At this point I reached the end of my tether boredom wise and went and got a cup of tea. Glasses equals mega stress!

I have always hated shopping for new glasses, which has been a painful but necessary process. My…read moreexperience at Jones and Co was a world apart from this. It was so refreshing to sit and be presented with beautiful glasses chosen to suit my face, personality and profession rather than stand alone staring at a wall of homogenous frames without guidance. I'm not going to say it was easy, because deciding between the exquisite frames was far from it. To say that I'm happy with my new spex is an understatement. I'm definitely a Jones and Co convert and will be returning to treat myself to another pair. Next on my shopping list is sunglasses. Oh and the staff were absolutely lovely too!

Kenji and Max looked after me and were both brilliant. They gave thoughtful advice, really listened to what I wanted, and helped me narrow down the choices (which isn't easy when there are so many great options!). The whole experience felt genuinely personal rather than transactional. I'm absolutely delighted with my new specs - and they were ready much quicker than I expected. Definitely recommend Framed and I'll be back when it's time for my next pair.

I attempted to buy another pair of smart glasses from them recently and they advised me to go direct to Ray-Ban as they would void the warranty if they fit my prescription. I took their advice and ray-ban needed my PD. Contacted them back for this information and they have refused to release my information. I understand them not wanting to lose business but they signposted me to begin with. When I challenged Sarah on the phone she said I was being rude and was hanging up on me. They have completely avoided me. Not responded to emails or calls. They have lost my custom and forced me to send a SAR. Stressful situation with no customer care whatsoever.

I don't feel this unit is much larger than the other store, perhaps it is slightly smaller but the unit does look much better overall, the store is modern and feels nice inside. The selection of frames inside is OK, they appeal more to a budget rather than stocking a good selection of designer brands, if you are looking for designers you might want to go to Vision Express, Boots or Marks and Spencer within the mall. While I did end up getting my glasses from Boots and having an eye-test in Marks and Spencer, I did call here to take a look at the selection of glasses and the staff seemed friendly enough, I also liked how they were openly giving out hand gel to customers at the door, it wasn't the cheap stuff either, it was so foamy and nice (Can I go back in just to get some more?), then you take a tray and put a couple of pairs you tried on inside. 3* - An improvement on their old location as it does look/feel nicer though, the selection of eyewear can't be compared to other opticians around the city but with Specsavers being one of the largest optician brands in the UK, if you are looking for a Specsavers store, this is above average, but still falls short compared to the competition
