Advantages: Great friendly staff, good price for test, large choice of frames

Disadvantages: I should of gone sooner!

I live near one of the biggest Asdas in Hampshire and it has a large opticians included in the store.

My partner has been nagging me for ages to book an eye test, as i kept complaining of head aches and strained eyes when driving.

I was shopping last week and noticed a sign that said "eye tests today £9.99". I thought about it for a second but then decided they would probably be busy and wouldn't be able to fit me in. So i went on with my shopping.

However 15 minutes later one of the Asda staff announced again over the loud speaker that they had the eye tests available for £9.99 and there were still appointments available. So after i paid for my shopping i nipped to the opticians counter and they said they could see me in 5 minutes.

I took my shopping to the car and then went back. I couldn't believe how quickly they could fit me in.

The staff at the opticians were really friendly and officiant, i was even offered a cup of tea which i thought was a really nice touch.

The eye test was really quick and the optician was really nice. I told him i hadn't had my eyes tested since i was about 16 (now 27) and he wasn't condescending about it like i thought he might of been.

The equipment used and the little room was very clean and tidy. The staff were all very well dressed and of very smart appearance.

Luckily i was told i didn't need glasses but i did have a quick look at the range of glasses available and they do stock a great deal of them.

I will definitely be going for regular check ups now and will always visit Asda for this need.

Summary: A nice little opticians and convenient for shopping too
