It may be a little shabby upstairs but they do a very thorough examination and they're all very friendly and laid back.

I recommended this place to my girlfriend and after a couple of bad experiences with prisms and other opticians, they got her right first time. Sorted her out with a good quality set of frames too. Big time recommendation.

The range of lenses and glasses available here is fantastic and are really good value with loads of offers and promotions. The optition took loads of time to help me choose the right glasses for my face and I left really happy with them. The consutation room and the store front was really tidy and attractive and everythig was nicly displayed and easy to see. On top of all that the glasses were made within an hour!!!!!!!!! highly recomended

As well as the usual range of pharmaceuticals and nail clippers, you'll also find: an opticians, a food section, a skincare advisor, a suncare advisor, an instant photo booth, a photo development lab, a body mass index machine, a chlamydia screening service, cervical cancer vaccinations, flu vaccinations, a dermo-analyser unit, a hair retention programme and a full holiday section, complete with sunscreen, swimwear, sunglasses, hats - and most importantly - those tiny travel-sized versions of your favourite wash stuff, so that you don't have to lug that massive bottle of head and shoulders you keep in the bathroom all the way to Timbuktu. Phew!

The £2.99 deal which gets you a sandwich, drink and snack. If you play it right you can get more than a fivers worth of food and drink for less than £3. The savings soon mount up. If you want to do this go for the special edition sandwiches and wraps, an innocent smoothie and a packet of mentos chewing gum. Yum Me. The other great thing about Boots is the advantage points system and the vouchers you often get for money off cosmetics and hair products. This Boots is also going a little more upmarket with department store type make up counters, Benefit, Max Factor and the high end Boots own brand cosmetic range, No.7 but for the more price conscious folk there's always the lower end No.17 and good ole Collection 2000.

However, having been a job where I was paid a pittance and I could no longer get back to my old optician (who was so nice he would spread my payments for glasses etc to suit me), I decided to join the masses and sign up to Specsavers. This branch has recently opened after its predecessor in Union Street closed and the premises is brand-new and much bigger. In Union Street it was crammed into two separate outlets which were dingy and cramped. Sadly it being Specsavers and it being in the city centre, there is just too much footfall to mean you are treated like anything other than just another client but they do have fantastic deals. My glasses are normally really expensive because my lenses have to be ground down loads as I am so blind and Specsavers meant I could get two frames for the price of one which was a massive help. Their monthly contact lens scheme is also unbeatable value. But I do find there are way too many staff there to justify how long you often have to wait. It seems like a case of too many chefs. And I still maintain quality of service is not uppermost in their minds. But I guess it's the quantity of people they get through their doors that is their priority and they are obviously achieving that as it is always really busy.

The staff are much more on the ball and helpful than their Broadmead counterparts and once you suss out which level does what it's pretty straightforward. The floor you walk in at is where all the glasses are displayed and they always have some decent offers on. I got two nice pairs of specs for about £70 (which I billed my old employer when it provided me with health insurance). There is also a help desk on this level where people can book you in for appointments etc. But if you want any sight tests or contact lenses you will need to go downstairs. The contact lens fella is a really nice guy and helped me solve the problem of hayfever vs. Contact lenses (I now wear daily disposables). They also will try their best to save you money, which is nice.
