In my 80 years I have used many diferent opticions in different parts of the country. Recently, having moved to Desborough, I chose a local opticion and was very pleased with the service which I received. I thought that the eye tests were very thorough and detailed and the opticion himself was very caring. The premises are rather basic, its not the All Bells and Whistles of some more trendy set ups, but I felt that my eye test had been very thorough and that is the object of the exercise. On my recommendation my son-in-law is using the same opticion.

As experiences go, that was the most pleasant you are going to get in an opticians. I broke my only glasses, rang when the shop opened and was seen within half an hour. It was incredibly clear that not having a spare and my extremely poor eyesight meant that the optician worked with great haste to ensure that I could see properly asap. I had an eye test within a couple of minutes, then the optician even guided me to the opposite coffee shop for a coffee on them while I waited for mine to be fixed. The job of fixing them just so I could wear them for a couple of days whilst my new ones were being prepared looked incredibly fiddly and time consuming, and I know from experience most would just send you home to wait, but as I was supping my coffee, the optician came over with my hastily repaired glasses. I have huge respect for this opticians simply because not only did they do their job properly but also compassionately. Thank you.
