My usual opticians - but the service wasn't quite as excellent as usual this time.

The initial checks were done in an ok manner, although I felt that they have been done more professionally in the past. The lady then said "I'll just check your glasses prescription whilst you go to the waiting area", then looked very confused when I said that I needed my glasses to see to go to the waiting area, repeating her request! Eventually (on the third attempt) she realised... The optician who conducted the eye test was very thorough, if I think a little confused by my slightly complex prescription and the way my eyes respond. She was very young, and it did show in her reactions to how my eyes work - I could tell that she was really surprised that my eyes were healthy, and that I have a full field of vision, despite having focusing and other issues.

Two trips to Boots Opticians Worcester

I have recently made two visits to Boots opticians in Worcester. My first visit was for my annual eye test. The optician who dealt with me was Aaliyah, who is quite simply brilliant. She talked me through my OCT and the state of my eyes in detail and really clearly. I highly recommend this opticians.
My second visit was after I had dropped one of my pairs of glasses on the floor and accidentally stood on them dislodging one of my lenses and losing a screw. I went into Boots and explained the problem. Chantel saw me me and repaired my glasses expertly. She was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Before leaving the store she said, any problems come and see us we are here to help.
Aaliyah and Chantel are a credit to Boots. I wouldn't go to any other opticians.
