Since then it has provided a very personal and caring service for its patients many of whom have lived in Guildford for several generations. The practice caters for all aspects of eye care which includes eye examinations and the supply and fitting of spectacles and contact lenses.

Outstanding customer service and quality. Nothing is too much trouble, they provide excellent advice, and the quality of the finished product is fantastic - the best pair of glasses i have ever owned. If you cant get an appointment immediately stay with it. There is a reason they are booked up. Persevere as a new customer and get on the books. You will not regret it.

Loyal customer for almost 20 years for many reasons. + Everyone in the team are super friendly, helpful, organised, understanding and always there to help when needed + Problems or advice with glasses or anything like that and they are ready to solve it - Would be great to see the system go from paper to online and be able to manage my prescription / appointments / history / bills etc online

My first visit to Nicklins was today. What a pleasure from when I walked in to be greeted by Nicola, professional and friendly. I was seen by Abby right on time and given the 5* treatment. So knowledgeable, careful and thorough and such patience. Finally Paul giving me advice on glasses, another professional and unrushed experience. I felt relieved that I had found Nicklins and definitely felt confident in their assessment of my eyes. Great surroundings, welcoming and clean and calm. Prices very reasonable. Bye Bye High Street, hello Necklins.

One of the nose pieces from my glasses pinged off and I couldn't find it. I happened to be passing and asked on the off chance if they had a spare one which I'd have happily paid for. They refused to charge me and replaced both nose pieces with brand new ones - took 5 minutes. Couldn't be more pleased and am eternally grateful

I am a professional sailor, and so the selection and prescription of quality spectacles is very important for me. I chose Nicklins, because of their reputation and quality service. I am delighted. The initial comprehensive eye test was very thorough and my 2 new pairs of spectacles (both bifocals - one clear pair for night time vision and one pair of prescription sunglasses for daytime) are outstanding. Throughout the whole process, the team at Nicklins strive to give a courteous and efficient service. I can not recommend them highly enough.

I have used Nicklins for years and their service is excellent, both the eye test, etc., and the fitting service, the latter being so important for good vision. Several times they have said that my sight has changed, but too little to warrant new glasses and have sent me away without charge (but note that I am old enough to qualify for free eye tests).
