Bird It is an old cliche, but our staff make us what we are and we pride ourselves on our friendly yet professional service. Suzanne Lynch FBDO - Joined the practice in 2001 as a trainee dispenser and qualified as a dispensing optician in 2003. Being one of the longest serving members, everyone thinks she IS John's daughter. Pretti Desai - Joined us in 2015 and hasn't been in a bad mood since with lots of giggles coming from the consulting room.

I sat on my glasses yesterday, went into the shop today and a really lovely lady fixed the wonky frame in no time and free of charge! Thanks so much!

I have used Birds opticians several times and always successfully. Twice they have replaced damaged lenses in frames I already owned and this has worked very well. I have also purchased prescription sunglasses. The staff are pleasant and professional. Excellent information provision and sympathetic advice. Highly recommended.

Whilst waiting in reception I found the way a staff member eleanor was speaking to another member of staff down right rude. Before eleanor and Suzanne appeared from downstairs i found the staff lovely and the shop nice. The two mentioned changed(lowered) the tone. Without those 2 would have gave a solid 4.5.

Review from Julie Robinson Excellent Professional kind and friendly staff willing to spend time to help you. Birds spotted a serious eye problem missed by others. I have attended Birds for over 40 years and recommend them

Very helpful staff, The fellow who helped me with getting prescription sunglasses lenses was very helpful and thorough. They also helped me with a dodgy prescription that specsavers gave me, and provided me with a much more comfortable and sensible prescription. After seeing how amateurish specsavers is, this place felt much more professional so I will be going back to them from now on I think.

Nice personal service, plus it's good to support a local independent business rather than Specsavers or vision express

They're great. I've been with them for 10 years. So professional and helpful. Exemplary customer service, do business with them, they really won't give you a chance to regret it.

Quite simply. the best optician in Sheffield. I have been using Bird's optician for over 20 years and their service has remained of the highest standard and second to none. The staff members are a pleasure to deal with. From a highly efficient front desk through to the skilled, warm and friendly optometrist who showed great patience and knowledge in answering all my questions to the fitting staff who will offer thoughtful and considered advice about lenses, frames and suitability without being pushy sales people. Bird's mix the traditional with the high tech in their examinations and have always had the largest selection of frames of any optician I have used. I shall of course be returning when my next eye examination is due.

Been coming here since I was a child and the shop was half the size it is now. Family ran business with knowledgable, friendly staff who are full of warmth and character. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else for my glasses.

I booked an appointment here as I had something floating in my vision I wanted to get checked out. The shop staff were really friendly and helpful. I felt like the optician cared more than in a chain optician. He was knowledgeable, friendly and did a thorough examination. He also didn't try to sell me glasses I didn't need, which is something chain opticians do all the time. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Really glad I went to Birds. I had not had any symptoms but turning 60 I was entitled to a free eye test so off i went. Really friendly staff and fantastic service. After a full 30 minute eye test, as well as testing my sight, they found that the pressure in my eyes was raised. I went to the hospital and found I had Glaucoma. If it hadn't been treated I might have lost some or all of my sight.

I hadn't had my eyes tested before because I had been managing with ready readers. I now have a pair of proper reading glasses which are great. I still keep a pair of ready readers in the car for emergencies. Howard S
