Excellent service. Super friendly and most useful
Fantastic service: kind, very helpful and friendly. My scan results were explained in detail to me, the ordering of new glasses was made easy and happened in a very pleasant atmosphere with no pressure at all. It couldn’t have been more different from the really poor service I had 2,years ago at the St. James Boots.

wonderful welcoming staff
the staff made me feel welcome and looked after , john, sam, paige , matthew and pammy were all professional , friendly , polite and capable. the shop was airconditioned which was very welcome on a hot day . the shop was spacious and the tests were all carried out in a timely manner. the choice of frames was good across all price ranges. the lenses were a little more expensive than some but are of higher quality and much more suited to my needs.

Staff generally okay but not particularly knowledgeable
In general, the staff dealt with me professionally. However, they could not really explain in depth the extra scans that they wanted me to pay for. It seemed like they could tell you its name and had a script for what it would do but couldn't really answer any in-depth questions. As a result, I declined these extra tests because I wasn't clear what benefit they were going to give.

Exception care in Bedford
I attended a routine contact lens check at my local Boots Opticians office. I was seen by Debbie, who has been the same person I have seen for at least 3 years. I was having some issues with my contacts and she listened and quickly identified the issue and a solution. Debbie is kind, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I trust her to help with all of my contact lens care.

Boots Opticians Halifax
I used to go to a different opticians and never felt comfortable with the atmosphere. Here at Halifax I genuinely feel looked after. Lovely staff. From having the eye tests to choosing my gigs I never felt pressured into something I didn't want. I felt that my eye test was done 100% correctly double making sure that I was sure with each step. I left having my eye test thinking my glasses are going to be sharp. Then I was given time to choose the right glasses. I was with the Mrs and youngest. So we was on the hunt for 4 pair of glasses 2 for me 2 for the wife. Resulted in getting what we wanted and the youngest was fine if anything she had fun. The staff was truly amazing doing everything they could to get us the best deal. They made sure we had the right spec for our glasses. A lovely experience in getting eye test to choosing glasses. Well done Halifax Boots Opticians. Look forward to seeing you again. 🤩👍

As soon as we walked in the Grimsby opticians it was lovely and clean and very comfortable, the staff were all very welcoming and professional especially Ferrari who helped me choose my frames I never felt rushed at anytime and the optician was very good and made me comfortable.
All the staff are a credit to Boots Opticians.

After only a short wait I was dealt for the eye tests very efficiently and the subsequent consultation with the optician was very professional & useful in persuading me to accept a referral for a cataract operation. No pressure to purchase anything and friendly staff.
