I've used this branch for many years, and each time the optician has seen me promptly, taken me through an assesment very clearly and dealt with things in a generally highly proffessional way. They have a wide range of glasses displayed on the ground floor of the shop, and the assistant will be happy to take you through each example that you like. The assessments take place on the first floor in a separate examination room. The service doesn't cost the world either, and you know that you're getting a good quality service for the price that you pay.

Absolutely the finest collection of decent frames in Bristol, bar none…read more I am fussy with specs and often buy mine in London at special places. Do not be put off by the look of this opticians. The frames are very well selected and not necessarily expensive. Saw a couple of fabulous ones for less than £50. Very fine aesthetic. This shop is open during the week but only one Saturday per month and they leave a message on their answerphone to let you know which one that is. Friendly, helpful and with really, really good choice of frames. And much more trendy than anywhere else in town...even better than most in London and I've been picky with frames since the late 80's.

They offer basic eye exams as well as a computer scanning exam which can allow them to see much more than a general exam can. These scans are kept on the computer to compare with previous visits to see what changes are going on. The staff is friendly, the service top notch. They also offer free hearing exams on Thursdays.

Fantastic service offered, no pushy salesperson.

This is agreat little opticians. The staff are fantastic and always wanting to help - last time I…read morehad to pick glasses I was on my own and the lady gave me loads of time trying to help me pick the best frames! They are not cheap, but the quality and care given with eye tests and contact lens appointments is brilliant - you dont feel like you are being rushed through and they dont pressurise you to have things you dont really want like many other of the more claain opticians do. They also will ring you up to remind you about appoinments and when things are ready for collection. Their client care is great also, and when the nose rests of my glasses last broke (of my own doing) they fixed it straight away and free of charge - what more could you ask for! I would recommend this optician over any other in Bristol, especially any of the chain stores.

Dury and Tippett is the best opticians I've found and I've been wearing glasses for over 40 years…read more Helen the optician is always very patient and willing to answer questions I may have about the results of the eye test. I did have the OCT scan as the health of my eyes is so important to me - being able to identify potential problems before they can be seen with a visual eye check or experienced by myself means that problems can be treated before it's too late! The reception team was very helpful when choosing new frames and don't try to push more expensive frames. The fitting by Steve Dury when picking up my new glasses was thorough, unhurried and friendly so that when I walked out of the door I knew I will be very pleased with them. The opportunity to sit in the Designer Lounge with a cup of coffee, listening to pleasant background music when choosing from their fabulous range of glasses made the whole experience great. As I say the best opticians I've found!

I have never been to another Vision Express so I don't know what kind of service to expect but I…read morewanted to make a special mention of this branch. I got my eyes tested here about five years ago, got my new pair of glasses and have sat on them at regular intervals over the past five years. Every time I have taken the squashed and broken glasses back to them they have repaired them with no questions asked and no hassle; Just polite friendly service. They might not be the cheapest in town, with all of the people handing out discount flyers for other chains in this city, but I will certainly be getting my glasses from here in the future. They have recently had a makeover and are looking very slick indeed; they even offered to photograph my eyeballs (?) so I could see behind them. Definitely a Facebook profile photo if I ever take them up on their kind offer.

Came in for a refund but they refused as, again, the record of me buying them could not be found. Absolutely furious and disgusted. You'll be better off with the £1 primark glasses than anything from this place, they last significantly longer and less chance of getting completely scammed through utter incompetence.

Unfortunately when we arrived, the window to this shop had been smashed in, as it transpired some drunken idiot had been on some repressed rampage the night before. The assistant tried to turn us away (reasonably enough as there was a massive pile of glass sitting on the floor) but her helpful nature got in the way and she allowed us to come in "for a minute" which quickly stretched to 15. She then let every single person who arrived in that time in too. And she even bought my story when I told her I definitely hadn't been responsible for the drunken vandalism the night before in an attempt to avoid a Saturday morning trip to the opticians.
