  • I must thoroughly recommend this service. The whole experience from booking an appointment, through the eye test, to selecting and finally picking up my new prescription spectacles has been highly professional, courteous and friendly. I have worn spectacles for over 60 years and the eye test was probably the most thorough I have ever had and no time was spared discussing my sight and needs with the optician and dispensing optician. A very professional business. Thank you.

    First spoke to a very helpful lady who liaised with Optician regarding a emergency appointment. This was dealt with quickly and saw Mr Patel on the same afternoon who reassured me with his test and diagnosis . Highly recommend and will be having future testing done here . A very good service.

    I was there with an appointment, no waiting, the receptionist was very friendly and the optician was pleasant, quick to find the cause of my eye problem and referred me for eye surgery all in a few minutes.

  • Updated review. 28th January 2026. Today was my two year check up. As always the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Patel was excellent with the eye test and explaining everything. Once again excellent service 7th May. It was just a small issue with my glasses, but as always were well treated and looked after my staff. Can never fault the service or the politeness of the staff Dr Patel and his staff are brilliant. They handled my cancelled booking with care. Thank you Mary The eye test is throughly done by Dr Patel. Have I been attending for a few years now. I like that I can see my previous visits results and compare with this latest eye tests. I like that you get a text reminder the day before your appointment. Would fully recommend for eye tests

    I have just changed to this optician from one of the chains. Very calm and thorough treatment. I felt confident. I could not transfer from my wheelchair to the seat but my eyes were tested while I remained in my chair so this was not a problem. Good selection of frames. I am happy to have changed. Parking is easier too.

    Hi. Very happy with the service I received here. The optician answered all of my questions with clear answers and gave me a clear description of the state of my vision. I am not quite ready for spectacles but when I do feel I need them I will definitely be returning here. Excellent

    The best optician and new glasses experience I have ever had. Very professional all the way through the process. Excellent advice regarding choice of frames and lens type resulting in a very great pair of glasses even tho I have a complex prescription. Because of my prescription new glasses can be a bit disappointing but not these, they are superb. Thank you!
