We shared a laugh together and he also helped "fix" my glasses as they were feeling quite loose. Since buying my glasses from the Manchester store, I have had endless problems and I hoped this would be the end of it. I didn't get chance to look at the glasses selection, as firstly I didn't need to having only got a new pair, just a few months before and honestly who wants to be looking at glasses after getting soaked in the heavy rain? My glasses have a rather "funny" problem still, where sometimes they feel loose and sometimes they feel okay, what this man did, has fixed my Calvin Klein glasses to a good standard, and although it is not perfect, it is probably the best job, someone has done on them in a Vision Express store since buying my glasses and is quite a nice store to add to The Bury Rock so I feel 3 stars is quite a fair rating for this store.

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!
