The staff at Optical Express in Waterfront/Dudley are excellent. The ladies on reception are so welcoming and friendly, they take time to get to know you and have a chat. The Optician also takes time to explain things in detail and no-one seems to rush you out. Top class service, I will definitely be returning in the future, thank you!!

Attended the Blantyre branch had an excellent service start to finish, brilliant staff, great care. Natalie is exceptional, she has the most natural and fantastic personality making me feel at ease and so helpful when selecting glasses and getting everything setup. Optical Express should be very proud to have her - not many have her ability to support and help customers in the effervescent, energetic and genuine manner she does. Karen the Optometrist was amazing too, so professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. Ensuring a comprehensive eye examination offering detailed information to support and help.Great service have been with this branch for a number of years and hopefully for many more to come - thanks all

Had great service from Manisha at meadowhall yesterday. Was very helpful and knowledgeable about lens replacement surgery and was happy to answer any questions i had.

Alice and the team are quick to reply and always positive and supportive. Speaking to the actual team in the Swindon shop (which I visited last year) is easier than a generic person on the end of the phone ! Thank you :)

We paid over seven months ago for my partners lazer eye surgery seven thousand plus and after all check ups and having the surgeon at Chelmsford change the lens just before walk in surgery room after that eyes was not 20/20 as promised and was very sore had to goto several appointments after the one that stood out the worst was at Norwich ass we walked in a optical express member of staff(female) was literally leaning over the glasses stand talking to her boyfriend/husband asking if he enjoyed the sex the night before absolutely disgusting behaviour the staff was so rude and then we also been to couple appointments to Cambridge staff are so relaxed they might even fall over if you come here for a appointment please add at least two hours to your time maybe more and we will be looking at compensation from Norwich , Cambridge, Chelmsford especially as we never got any explanation why the surgeon changes the lense last minute all three places don’t keep appointments time all runs behind by two to three hrs totally unprofessional we will be looking at legal advice as this experience has been going on for over seven months and no one seems to care all the cared about was money upfront !!!! Be careful
My consultation at the Salisbury branch was faultless. Marisa, Sue and Troy were very thorough, friendly and approachable. All procedures were explained and the follow up contact has been great. Would highly recommend

I had a great experience yesterday with a thorough & fully explained examination plus consultation regarding my eye health & suitability for lens replacement. A lengthy & mostly enjoyable process with multiple tests led by a genuinely, lovely, staff member who was clear & upfront throughout. I then had a remote video consultation with an optician who carried out further tests & read my results through along with a full explanation. There was no hard sell & I was able to ask as many questions as I liked. I fully recommend Optical Express based on this experience & will be using them in the future when I’m ready for my lens replacement.

Owen at the Glasgow branch took me through a full eye exam and explained each steps clearly. Who then passed me on to Paul to finalise my tests.
All went well and comfortable to proceed with surgery.

I’ve just finished having my eyes lasered and they already feel amazing! 👀✨ The treatment itself has been fantastic, but I honestly can’t praise the aftercare and support from Kerry at the White Rose Clinic enough. She has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, so caring, reassuring and professional. She’s a credit to the clinic! Highly recommend

The St. Albans manager, Sue, really went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and taken care of. She made the whole process clear and simple. She even wrote out a full itinerary of appointments for me.
The process was clear and easy to understand.
Some of the experience I had at the Milton Keynes office was less than ideal. I had to chase them for email confirmations of appointments and then call another branch. Their time keeping let them down, I was there for over 2 1/2 hours for an hour appointment. The staff were professional and pleasant. They could have been more helpful with solving the time overun.

I took my daughter for her laser eye surgery today. Her appointment was at midday. We waited nearly 2.5 hours for her surgery with most of this time being stuck in a small, freezing cold, sterile room. No one offered any explanation about the delay or any comfort. As she suffers from ADHD the whole process was extremely distressing for her. She was very upset by the end of the whole saga.

I would highly recommend Optical Express, Cardiff. Had my initial consultation today. I was a bit nervous and didn't quite know what to expect. Staff were amazing and very friendly. My Patient Advisor - Arjun Chouhan explained the whole assessment process, and kept me informed throughout my appointment. I felt completely at ease.
