I walked into Optimise Opticians a couple of months ago as I happened to be passing. I've been considering replacing my glasses as they really aren't great for close work, and I haven't been happy with them since I got them at the beginning of the year. It's the first time that I have been prescribed vari-focals, and I was told that the issues that I was having with the glasses would get better in time. They haven't, and I feel as though I have been fed a line! I took them back and had them changed a couple of times, and then I ran out of energy for pursuing the problem, and ended up putting up with a substandard pair of glasses that offered me no improvement in vision than my previous pair that these new ones had replaced... at considerable cost!
Anyway, to cut a long story short I called into Optimise Opticians on the offchance they could offer me a better alternative. The only problem was they were busy dealing with someone else, and I didn't have much time. One thing struck me about the business before I left, and that is that it looks quite different to other opticians inside. There are a lot fewer frames lining the walls than at other opticians, and the only printed information I could get my hands on was for transition lenses, which I'm not interested in. read more
