Third time here now. Glasses were ready in three days not two weeks. Most thorough new varifocals I have had, picked up something the high street chain missed. Thanks again.

Right, so I needed a new varifocals. Everything was explained properly without any jargon. Kids loved it, made it fun for them. Even my dad was impressed and he is never impressed.

Quick review because they deserve it. Turned up when they said they would. Paid £500 for OCT scan, cheaper than the chains. Would use again.

Happy enough
Nice staff, a bit pricey. £60 for the designer frames felt a lot. Update: they did get back to me in the end.

Waste of money
Emailed three times and rang twice about the prescription sunglasses. Not one reply. Gave up and went elsewhere.

Nearly perfect
Not bad, not great. Middle of the road. Might have been unlucky.

Could be better
Decent, a couple of things were missed first time round but they came back to sort it. Might have been unlucky.

No fuss
Fixed my old frames for free while I waited. Went above and beyond really. Paid £45 for designer frames, cheaper than the chains. Would use again.

Most thorough eye test I have had, picked up something the high street chain missed. Went above and beyond really. Recommend to anyone.

Excellent service again
Been meaning to write this for a while. Fixed my old frames for free while I waited. Exactly what I asked for, nothing more nothing less. No hesitation in recommending.
