The staff in here were great. I told them I what I was looking for and they took the time to find it for me. Prices were pretty reasonable compared to most stores, however the service is impeccable. They properly fitted the sunglasses for me, and offer a help service if they go wrong in the future.

Dolland and Aitchison is really the ultimate opticians when it comes to eyecare. If you're a loyal…read morecustomer of D & A, you'll understand why that is. As a regular customer myself along with my Mum, there have never been any issues regarding their complete services. Whenever I'm in for an eye test and a pair of new spectacles, it doesn't get much better. The staff and eye practioners always appear keen on pleasing a customer and delivering the best results. They sell a wide range of trendy glasses for all types of uses, made from different lenses to suit your requirements. If you experience any problems, staff are willing to fix them instantly or book an appointment for you. Staff will make sure you leave fully satisfied giving you the perfect fit. From time to time, there are also special deals on eye tests and cut prices on glasses so these are worth keeping an eye out for, plus you'll receive offers through the post along with a reminder when your next eye test is due. Overall, this is excellent service; the staff are considerate, attentive and patient when dealing with customers of all types.

There seemed to be an abundance of staff with not much to do but I'm not complaining as this meant there was no waiting around to get help. They stock all the latest popular designer frames and styles including Gucci and Police that you find in the big chains. Their special offers are just as good too with a free second pair of spectacles including bifocals and varifocals. If you try varifocals but don't get on with them they give you thirty days in which to exchange them for standard bifocals.

Great experience. After having contracted a condition where it's hard for me to be exposed to…read morebright lights (meaning I'll need to constantly wear shades), I went into (almost) every optician in Liverpool to browse for prescription-based sunglasses, and for an overall price comparison; from Blankstone to Boots to Vision-Express to Bennet and Batty's, and then some. Now all of the opticians just listed and good, I wouldn't discourage going to any of them, however, I just find Millican to be the best, for several reasons: 1. They seem to have the widest range of sunglasses: Specifically Ray-Bans. I can't comment on other glasses they have in stock (though I will say they do seem to have a very large collection overall), but they definitely seem to have the largest collection of sunglasses, especially Ray-Ban's. They're also the only optician's that i've been to that has the Lennon Glasses, the perfectly rounded sunglasses that John Lennon wore. 2. Their prices are relatively cheap: I won't say their the cheapest as I forgot the prices for the other opticians, however, they are relatively cheap in terms of price. I believe of the 5 - 6 opticians I went to, around half of them quoted a price of under £300, the other half £300 - £450. (Note: I also requested the sunglasses to be reflective, and again their prescription based, not to mention Ray-Bans are designer wear, so this adds to the total cost of the sunglasses). So basically, in sum, they won't rip you off. 3. Very friendly and professional staff: There's not a single person there who didn't provide exemplary service. Now I won't slate any of the previously mentioned opticians based on their service, and I generally didn't feel like I wasn't welcomed in any of them. However, the ladies at Millican really do seem to give a damn. They're just on a level of magnitudes more friendly, approachable, and attentive. Again, it's not that other opticians provide bad service, but rather it's that Millican provides great service. For instance, the ladies didn't actually know about my condition at the very start (as I kept that to myself). There was lots of friendly small talk as I was browsing, and one of them asked me if I was wearing them to go on holiday, to which I replied that I was not, but that I have this condition of mine. At this point she became much more involved, providing feedback such as "This particular shade might look a bit feminine" (they were rosy-gold shades), "This shape might suit you more", and even suggested between two similar looking shades the ones that were bigger, as they block out more sunlight (which would help with my condition). I really appreciated her input, and it's commendable that she was much more involved once she knew the sunglasses was going to be a permanent fixture, rather than a temporary thing. When I finally picked a pair I like (am very picky), I asked if they could be ordered in various shades so as to try them out. It turned out that the company who issues was about to close on that the same day for 3 weeks, so the lady asked one of her colleagues to try and get in contact whilst we discuss various details, and I must say, they treated it like a military operation. There was no messing around on their behalf, they just did it. Overall it was an absolute pleasure visiting Millican's, and to rate them anything other than a 5-star service would be an injustice.

Vision Express in Liverpool is in Clayton Square, fairly close to both St John's, Liverpool One and…read moreLime Street Station. The store has a pretty good selection of glasses, although I was disappointed with the poorer designer selection compared to other stores, I also found it interesting how they had the locked glass cage (firstly this was left partially open and unattended) for brands which would usually be out in the open in a normal store, including Hugo Boss. The reception-style desk was to the right of the enterance, compared to straight ahead at this store which I don't have a problem with, I just felt it was interesting as it was the only other store I found to have such an approach. The store was pretty nice inside and modern and the staff seemed friendly enough, although they weren't excellent as I found at the Manchester Arndale, Chester and select London locations. The store does close at 5:30 pm which is much earlier than its' biggest rival, Specsavers which is nearby on Lord Street who often close between 6 and 7. Still not a bad store, however and I do truly believe the current three-star average rating is indeed fair and accurate and should be matched.

This Boots store is the largest in Clayton Square, it is opposite St John's Centre and a couple of…read moreminutes on foot away from Liverpool One and Liverpool Lime Street Station, it is a large store and is a good location within the city centre. The product range is good, they have a nice range of most products you'd expect to find in a Boots, including the Bulldog Skincare range which was the main purpose of my visit. There is an Opticians and Pharmacy area as you'd expect from a large Boots store. I did find the gift-sets to be a little poor, maybe that is because people of Liverpool seem to have raided the shelves as they are currently 50% off, but the selection is much better in Manchester, many big brands which are sold in the latter didn't seem to be sold here, but they did have some cool Twinings Tea gift-sets, which aren't sold in the former, however, they did seem to be damaged, ripped and one was even missing a tea-bag (thieves?) It's a large Boots store, the selection is pretty good, I do feel they should do more to maintain the quality of products, I get it isn't the store's fault to a full extent but they should be maintaining them and not selling products which have obviously been tampered with, prices were OK/competitive in the majority of areas. I do prefer my local Manchester - Market Street store as I find the selection to be slightly better, with more facilities overall, but this still is a good store in Liverpool. 4*

There are often offers displayed for multibuys and the products are competitively priced. When I used to work in the city centre I bought my lunch at Boots for most of the week. They have an excellent value meal deal where you can buy sandwiches, wraps, salads or sushi, chocolate or crisps and a drink for about £3.50. The food is always of a good quality.
