Exceptionally good opticians

Not the cheapest optician but certainly one of the best I have used. I have now been a regular for the last few years and intend to continue to do so.
The reception staff are very professional and friendly and the optometrists are exceptionally knowledgable and helpful.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great to hear you were so happy with your experience at Rawlings in Chandler's Ford Steve! Thank you for leaving us a review and recommending us.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent service

Excellent service. I had previously been advised that my cataracts were getting to the stage where they would need attention. I decided to go ahead and had the cataracts in both eyes removed in January and had a follow up appointment with Kim last week. She gave me a thorough eye examination for new glasses and recommended varifocals to correct the vision in my right eye due to my astigmatism and my near vision in both eyes. I then saw the reception staff who recommended frames and styles of glasses and these are now on order. All of my dealings with the staff at Rawlings were dealt with in the most friendly, caring and professional way and I would thoroughly recommend this practice to everyone.

Instant service

Instant service.
Competitors said they could do it in 3 weeks time, which is hopeless so I walked into Rawlings and they did it within 10 minutes. Brilliant service.
I could not have waited 3 weeks with horrendous feedback due to wax build up.
I have taken out a hearing plan which make so much sense.

Professional service

Easy to book online and follow-up call was useful to understand what to expect and advise of cost and pre-treatment.
No waiting around for appointment and process itself was painless and took all of 2 mins max for micro suction of one ear.
Expensive but well worth it for immediate relief!

I'm a Kim and Kerry Groupie


I'm a Kim and Kerry Groupie, having followed both from Winchester to Arlesford, Alton and now Chandlers Ford over the past thirteen years. I cannot praise either enough. Kim is a first class optometrist, having spotted an issue last year that required a (successful) eye operation. She is also patient and never tells me what I can or can’t see (which I hate with a vengeance). Kerry knows which glasses will suit both my face and my lifestyle more than I do myself and doesn’t hesitate to tell me so (which I very much like). And the staff at Chandlers Ford are efficient and welcoming. I wouldn’t go anywhere else; and, in my humble opinion, nor should you Dear Reader.

Great Service

From the moment of walking through the door I was made to feel welcome. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The tests were explained to me in understandable language. I was given good advice on which glasses to choose and that the fit was comfortable.

I had a great experience at Rawlings…

I had a great experience at Rawlings Chandlers Ford last week. Booking was easy. My appointment was on time. The staff were friendly and professional. I had microsuction to clear wax from both ears. It was painless and took just a few minutes. It was such a relief afterwards to be able to hear again! I really appreciated the advice beforehand to use Earol which is a great product. I would definitely use this service again if needed. Thank you!

So pleased we could help with your hearing Daisy! Thank you so much for leaving such kind feedback about your experience at Chandler's Ford.

Excellent service

I had never been to Rawlings before, but decided to give them a go. The day I popped in to the Chandler's Ford branch explaining the issues I had with my hearing, the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. They booked me an appointment for that afternoon for a check-up. The gentleman I then saw was excellent and very quickly identified compacted wax, provided an olive oil spray and re-booked me for the following week for microsuction. On returning, Jeanette was superb, demonstrated and explained how the equipment worked, then set about successfully removing the wax so professionally I hardly felt a thing. The resultant difference in my hearing was instant and incredible. I feel so much better for it and wish I had gone to Rawlings much sooner. Excellent all round service - highly recommended.

Friendly, caring and Effective

The friendliness and efficiency of the staff has for many years been an integral part of the experience.
I felt as if nothing was too much trouble, but there was also time for a laugh, joke, and good humour.
I’ve been using this store for many years, and will continue to do so.
