The optician who tested my eyes was lovely and explained everything to me but the other staff in the store were less than average. Firstly a very young man took me to a machine that blew air into my eyes and I felt he was very inexperienced when I asked the purpose of this test then after my eye examination I felt very pressured by another man when choosing my glasses as he asked me what I worked at and what colour was my uniform then proceeded to lift only black and blue frames for me to try! Just for clarity I chose 1 pair of multicoloured frames and 1 pair of bright purple frames 😀 He also stated the optician recommended 2 pairs of glasses and when I tried to correct this and stated I did not need distance glasses I only needed reading he tried to tell me I was wrong despite the optician telling me in my examination my sight is fine for distance and well within the legal end for driving. I don’t think he liked the fact I corrected him but I was right and he was wrong. So for clarity I availed of the 2for1 offer and got myself 2 pairs of reading glasses only. I opted for the anti glare coating (another £50) as I have a lot of screen time in my work. Both pairs including extras amounted to £170, not a bad price and that’s why I’ve gave 3 stars today!
There is too much form filling before you go to visit the optician. If you book online there is a health background form to complete and I particularly hate the "Patient Bridge" form that comes via email on my mobile. You have to do it on your mobile so you can sign it. As I am getting older I find that the opticians go much to fast for me when asking if its number one or number two. Other than that I was fine and I'm sure I have the right prescription for my eyes.
