Eye review after Cataract surgery
Staff were professional and friendly, very customer service-oriented and not salesy. The optician, Rishi, was very thorough and explained in understandable language what she was doing and the options available to me. Highly recommended.

Sight Saver
Have used them for years. Local opticians run by local people. Welcoming, fun and most importantly spotted a couple of eye problems very quickly and referred to a teaching hospital.
The hospital were grateful they could take early action to mitigate the issues which untreated would lead to blindness.
