Contact lens check & hearing test…

I recently had an annual contact lens review and then a hearing test.Both are covered by the monthly plan and I consider it to be excellent value for money. Alison and her team are so kind and caring and always provide excellent service.

A comprehensive eye examination

A comprehensive eye examination carried out by Janet in a friendly and very relaxed manor with a clear explanation of procedures and results.
A careful measurement of eye/spectacle relationship and excellent choice of frames and lenses all guided by Mark.
Final supply and fitting by Alison gave that reassurance of excellent vision.
Overall, a very professional, reassuring experience in a safe and friendly atmosphere.
Thank you.

Excellent service from the team. Their care over a hearing test for an elderly patient was impeccable. Sheena took time to explain everything and her calm, caring manner instilled great confidence. Very impressive. Highly recommend.

Thought I would try and support local shops by using the local branch. However although the quality of the eye examination was excellent the price options at over £800 for glasses were for me as a pensioner just to expensive.

Thoroughly impressed.

Today i came away from a hearing assessment appointment with Sheena at Leightons in Thatcham feeling informed, reassured, and confident in her assessment. Sheena was very professional, caring and un-hurried. The test was comprehensive and the results were explained in depth. All the staff were pleasant and welcoming and I felt 'Covid safe'. Certainly to be recommended.

Leightons provided an excellent service.

Leightons were very professional from the moment that I entered the shop. I was seen promptly and had a very thorough hearing check. The Audiologist explained the results and advised me of the next steps. I did not feel pressurised into buying hearing aids. My hearing will be reviewed again in six months time.

Great service

From the outset my requirements and concerns were treated extremely carefully and thoughtfully. Great care has been taken to match the aids with my needs. Nothing has been too much trouble when setting up and training me how to use, clean and re-charge my aids and I think the five year plan including hearing tests, wax checking and removal is ideal for my situation. Altogether a very positive experience which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. I felt very safe and was made welcome. The whole process and types of procedures I could have to remove ear wax were clearly explained and I was fully prepared about the procedure which I had. It was really good to be shown the details of my ears visually and to have a full explanation of my ears.
