That when you are trying contact lenses for the first time, that they should tell you that the lenses are handed, so there one that should be used for your right eye and one for your left eye.

Bad experience Boots Optician Kingston, Milton Keynes

Visited Boots Opticians in Kingston Centre, Milton Keynes and will NEVER go there again. Was greeted by a man who told me I'd have to rebook as I was late as next customer was due in soon..
I was only 5 minutes late!!!! Was made to feel like I was nuisance as he continued to tell me that I had had a test within last 2 years so would not get a free test (despite being over 60) and didn't listen when I explained i was struggling to see computer screen.

Well done to this member of staff - you've lost my business, and that of my family too!!
