The entire experience was outstanding
The entire experience was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful Eye test was thorough, plenty of help choosing frames and lenses, and the pair came in early. Wonderful aftercare, and now my whole family goes there! Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Eye test following cataract surgery.
The appointment was booked and confirmed to suit my availability. On arrival I received a warm and friendly greeting and offered a hot drink as was my partner. The test began less than five minutes after I arrived and was carried out in a professional and reassuring way. The process of choosing a new pair of glasses was pleasant as I was helped to chose a suitable frame patiently and without being pressurised. The whole process was smooth and relaxing and I am more than happy to recommend Bayfields in Barnard Castle.
