Booked an eye test, got to appointment early then had to wait half an hour more because they…read moreweren't ready. Made to wear face masks for eye test which is fine, optician didn't seem very helpful when placing test glasses over face she wasn't very personable as other opticians make sure glasses are behind ears properly etc. First lot of tests were with another person who was very friendly and helpful. Found the selection of glasses poor and unlike other opticians when you try on glasses they clean them right away. I didn't like trying on glasses with smudges and labels over the lenses. I will have an eye test elsewhere hopefully another place will be more modern with how they do the tests, find the test glasses bulky and old fashioned.

I used the service once and I am very satisfied. At the beginning, I thought that, I would have…read morebasic 'computer' check, but it was absolutely different. I have spent there quite a lot of time, but I have proper and profesional sight check. After 'session' with the nurse, I had a talk with optician. Becuase I am in the Boots Health Club, it was absolutely free (usually, the check costs £20). Very professional and friendly service. Highly recommended!!!

They are really good to go to if you can't afford the glasses offered you at your opticians…read more They don't do eyes tests so you need to go to your normal optician for that but then you just ask for your prescription and you take that into Direct Specs. The staff are all lovely and know their job well. They will help you choose the right specs for you. The prices are all laid out so that you know exactly what you are paying including all the add-ons for non glare etc There is a great selection with lots of choices from budget specs to expensive designer ones. Once you have chosen the glasses that you want, the staff will do all the measurements to make sure they are right for you then you pay a small deposit and they send them off. It is usually about a week until your specs are ready. They wil call you up to come and collect them. When you go to collect, they will make sure they fit OK for you and tighten them up if needed. There is a great after care service and you can go back afterwards if anything happens to them. I would recommend Direct Specs if you are having trouble buying new glasses.

Vision Express at intu Derby is an average, A-OK location of the optician chain, I came in here to…read moretake a look around their selection of spectacles and also get my glasses adjusted which have became rather loose. I do think the store was overstaffed, the staff working did seem a little loud and they were obviously talking to each other, I get having a conversation is fine when the stores quiet but they just became rather loud and even began to distract the lady working on my glasses, meaning I was worried she could have made a mistake or it could have ended up taking longer than it should have: she didn't make a mistake however and the staff were professional and able to answer whatever questions I had, so the service was okay. The selection was okay, they didn't have the more premium ranges which many other stores have but they did have a satisfactory selection from designer brands, I was told they didn't stock TAG Heuer anymore due to licensing issues which is why the person who was helping me didn't want to adjust my glasses too much as she couldn't replace them anymore if they did break. The TAG Heuer is only available in certain Vision Express stores now due to the strange recall. Pretty average store, I would feel happy using them while in Derby although Vision Express do have many better branches, this remains one of the better opticians within the mall and city of Derby. 3*

Vision Express, the optitions is a great place to go if you need your eyes tested quickly as they…read moreoffer a walk in service. If you need glasses urgently, they also offer you the glasses on the same day at an additional cost. The range of frames are impressive and are split into sections by design and price to help you find your perfect style and price. Eye tests don't take long and staff are always thorough and helpful. I've never had a problem and would gladly return when I need an eyetest again. The only thing that may deter you is that the shop is very bright!

I've always struggled with finding glasses to suit my high myopic prescription, so the good reviews…read moreand encouraging website (mentioning a good choice for high prescriptions) meant that I booked a consultation. I was literally in the shop for less than a minute as I was told that I was partially sighted and that they don't dispense glasses for prescriptions like mine. Not very kind or compassionate to be honest and I was left feeling pretty upset. The shop also had a very strange smell of vomit so in a way having to leave was a blessing! I'm sure their glasses are lovely but in my case the customer service was very disappointing.

The staff are professional and polite and they even offered me and my partner a cup of tea which we have never had anywhere else.
