Boots Opticians

When I lived in Walsall I always used Dolland and Aitchison Opticians. In fact I had been going there ever since I was 4 years old and it was called Hudson Howard and that's going back a bit I can tell you - I'm 53 tomorrow! Anyway they do not have branch here in Llandudno. I took a look around the town and decided to try Boots Opticians and have been happily going there every year for the last 5 years. The Boots Opticians store here in Llandudno is a separate shop from the main Boots store and looks as though it is quite new. The place is nicely decorated, open and airy, with plenty of racks of spectacle frames of all different shapes, sizes and ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the age of 10 I've had to visit an optician. Until the age of 20 I wore glasses only and visited a small independent optician. Once I moved away to university, I decided on getting contact lenses and due to Boots good reputation in eye care became registered at Boots Opticians. There are many Boots Opticians around the country varying in size from large, spacious premises based in cities to smaller locations in towns and suburbs. The Boots Opticians that I visit now is a smaller one but still has facilities to provide good quality eye care. I registered at my current store back in 1998 and as I already wore contact lenses I wanted to be ...  Read the complete review

As a speccy wearer for the last 11 years I've had to go to the opticians a lot. I still remember my first awful experience where they tried to shove me into a section with teletubbies and fireman sam on the arms of the glasses (I was 12 at this time and the new kid at school - it was as though that opticians wanted me to die of embressment/bullying!). Over the years the experiences got better until a specsavers branch put me off to the extent that I didn't get my eyes tested for 4 years - I know, very bad. But this year enough was enough and I booked an appointment with boots opticians in Stevenage via the boots website. I loved the ease of making ...  Read the complete review

*This review is for the branch in Grimsby* When I started getting headaches more than normal last year, I thought it was time I went for an eye test. Through my advantage card I had been sent a voucher for a free eye examination, so I decided I may as well make an appointment. I went to the Boots Optician website where I was given the option of booking online or phoning for an appointment. After checking the site and entering my postcode I was given a list of four branches near to me. As it was my first time visiting I decided to telephone rather than book online, even though it looked straight forward enough I would rather have spoken to ...  Read the complete review

Thanks to my primary schools need of giving us eye and ear tests when we first started there I've had to wear glasses since I was 5. So that makes it a total of...almost 17 years. And throughout all that time I've been completely loyal to my Boots Opticians. Obviously it would be very difficult for me to review my Kingswood branch because it's unlikely that you'll travel here just for an eye test. So I figured that as I think they are very good I'll write a review as to what it should be like in every Boots opticians! I didn't have much choice at the start as there were no specsavers in my area at that time but it is very simple to ...  Read the complete review
