I have been a customer of HBD for many…
I have been a customer of HBD for many years, having my eyes tested every year and buying glasses from them whenever needed. They are superb, and delightful people to deal with. I recommend them unreservedly.

What a wonderful experience
What a wonderful experience. I came to see HBD for an eye exam, my glasses also hadnt been changed in a few years. The level of service was something that I had never received before at an opticians. After my exam I was helped to find the right glasses for me. There range is extensible with ranges from your known brands like Channel to some really different quirky brands. There was so much choice I ended up purchasing 2 as I couldnt pick. Thank you to Kay for making something that is normally mundane a lot of fun!
