Very professionaI and helpful. I was given detailed, honest answers to my queries and the optician was thorough and careful in her work. Quite different from the staff of a well-known chain.

Our team are pleased to hear that you had great service throughout your visit to us! We do try to deliver top and personal service to all of our patients so we are pleased it does not go unnoticed. Thank you very much for your review.
Very thorough advice
Excellent optician, who explained everything as she went through the examination. The OCT in particular was fascinating, and well worth the additional cost.

We are glad that you are happy with the service, and that everything could be explained to you in a way that you could understand.
An OCT scan can reveal changes in the health of the eye eyes that a normal eye test may not be able to pick up, so it is always a good idea to have one. Thank you for your feedback.

Your review is greatly appreciated by our team in Purley. Thank you!
your in the hands of the right people
From the time I walked in, everything from checking with reception to the examination of my eyes was perfect. When I asked a question, it was explained
To me, the next step was ordering the lenses. I explained that I would like the new lenses in my frames, no problem. I handed my glasses over, and they looked at them and confirmed the make and size, then took some measurements for the position
The bifocal for reading, then explained what and when my lenses would arrive for fitting
