I popped into Boots Opticians in Romsey for some help with replacing some sunglasses lenses I had already purchased. I knew I didn’t need to purchase anything from them but from the moment I walked in I was received by smiles and offers of help. Alice helped me and couldn’t be nicer she helped me with the stiff screws and actually replaced the lenses, she’s was so friendly and chatty I offer to pay her for her help but she would except it. I will definitely be returning as a paying customer as this is exactly how I want to be looked after as a customer! Thank you Alice and happy 30th birthday!

Boots Wimbledon branch

Boots Wimbledon branch. Opticians themselves first class. Admin and branch staff hopeless. I have never been seen on time. Went for a contact lens check and the very next day received a call saking me to book an appt. Went to collect new contact lenses today, was asked to come in 15 mins early so that they could be fitted and again was kept waiting . No one seemed to know why I was there, and no my new contact lenses were not fitted in advance of the appt! I also do not like being called by my first name. It is quite rude

Jasmine at the Grantham branch was extremely helpful and kind. I buy my reading glasses from boots but I walked in today with my sunglasses bought elsewhere. I was missing a screw. Jasmine was able to replace the screw for me and check my sunglasses all over. There was no charge which was extremely kind and unexpected. Brilliant service. Thank you Jasmine.

Exceptional service and patience

We visited our local Boots Opticians in Spalding in May 2026.
On arrival we were greeted by lady in a friendly and professional manner. The entire service is characterized by a great approach to people. Having been with Specsavers in the past, this is incomparable.
Helpfulness, professionalism and friendly disposition, exceptional service and patience.
Many thanks and I wish you continued success in your professional work and customer service.
