Reassuring professional experience
I was concerned about the way my previous nationwide opticians rushed an eye test, so approached Woodfall and was reassured by the care with which the tests were carried out. Moreover the equipment used seemed to check more issues than in previous tests / scans.
I was also impressed with the knowledge and guidance given about appropriate lenses and RayBan Aviator frames – a design I adopted and reordered regularly since 1972, now updated with stronger arms.
Service was very friendly and my spectacles were delivered on time with a helpful fitting session.
Overall a promising start to what will hopefully be a long relationship.

Optician visit
I was made welcome by the receptionist .The optician was very reassuring and answered all the questions I asked.She explained how my eyes were working and what might help to improve my eye health.She was easy to talk to and very helpful.
The receptionist that fitted the glasses prescription was very polite and let me choose what I wanted and was very chatty as was Richard when I picked up my glasses which was within the time I was told.All in all a pleasant experience.Thank you.
