What a complete shambles!
Last time I had an eye test I gave a 5 star review at Guildford opticians. This experience was the exact opposite. The eye test was a complete disaster with the optician asking me to compare one picture with a second picture (as normal), however to get to the second view I was bombarded with other pictures whilst the optician tried to find the second picture. And this continued for the whole test. In the end she said she couldn't give me a prescription and I should pay for an OTC. I paid, the test was done and I was left sitting in the waiting room whilst others came and had their test and saw someone. I went out to the front desk and they were less than helpful with one member telling me I could go. Later that day I got a call that I missed and I rang the store 6 times on the day and 2 the next day. None of these were answered even though when I was in the store there were at least 2 members of staff by the phone.

A first class experience
A first class service this morning at Boots Opticians in Salisbury. Everything was done in a professional manner, with a friendly service and nothing rushed at all. Everything was explained to me during each of the procedures of the eye test. Special thanks to Shauna, Jenny and Madeline.
