Collected another pair of awesome glasses from BBR, yesterday. The team are amazing- they all have such passion, care and knowledge that you really do feel like you're getting glasses with them not from them. Really looking forward for them to showing what they have to offer in the Feb31st range - wooden frames. How exciting. Thank you, again BBR.

In the 40 years I have been visiting an optometrist - including central London practices - BBR is without doubt the finest I have attended. Your service is exemplary, as is the company's ongoing commitment to the latest technologies. First rate.

Excellent opticians that I have been with for about 18 years now. Went to them at first due to recommendation of another optician due to problems I was having with my contact lenses. Not sure how 'normal' the pricing is but service is, in every way, very good.

It was my first time visiting and I was blown away by the wonderful customer service. My experience was very positive; as soon as I stepped into the building I was made to feel welcome and not rushed. The equipment used onsite is incredible. I will be using BBR optometry for all future appointments. They should be very proud to have such an incredible team.

The arm of my glasses decided to unexpectedly part company with the frame. Given that I have to lead a high profile event in the next couple of days I needed to get them repaired asap. Within two hours of contacting BBR I had an appointment and my glasses were repaired. Exceptional and outstanding service! Thank you

Excellent professional care. BBR Optometry always maintains the highest standards of patient care. Taking time to discuss your treatment and options. Excellent choice of high quality frames including a large range of ultra modern 'funky frames and gorgeous colours. Never disappointed - great choices and variations

I wanted to just say thank you to you and your team for a really positive experience on my recent visit. Despite the restrictions and safety requirements, I felt very relaxed and as always from the front desk, to the optician who tested my eyes, to Nick himself; every moment of service I received was fantastic, above and beyond and everyone was smiling and good humoured.

It is clear you have nurtured a really warm and friendly workplace and it shows so much as a client coming to see you for check ups. I would never dream of going anywhere else! After 25 years it's been a privileged to have you caring for my eyesight! I would like to make a special mention of Magda, who helped me find my reading glasses frames. Magda was just so enthusiastic and positive, I really enjoyed her company to the point that it was actually a joyful experience choosing my frames.

Her lovely bubbly energy was infectious and I even felt genuine enthusiasm and even excitement from her when she helped pick out some frames that suit me so well. Please can you pass on my appreciation to her. My glasses arrived today and I actually love them! Never thought I would say that about a pair of glasses! Thank you so much to all of you for making such a wonderful experience for me. Plus all this during the Covid-19 pandemic, you are doing a marvellous job!

May I just say how wonderful BBR Hereford have been. My husband was first to benefit from your excellent services when he was found to have very quickly progressing cataracts. You referred him to an excellent clinic in Solihull who were wonderful. When he had his first eye test with you, after a lifetime of wearing spectacles, he said it was the best eye test he had ever had.

My own experience has been just the same, I have always felt very confident in your care. Your staff have been very friendly. professional and really could not do enough to bring about an excellent outcome each time. I in thirty years of wearing glasses I have never had the quality of service and spectacles that you provide. Many thanks. Mrs. Janet Taylor

Outstanding detailed examination and provided the extra level of care. Gave me lots of assistance in how to manage my existing conditions as well as the referral I needed to resolve them. Felt like a consultant level of care.

I broke my glasses in the early days of lockdown but this didn’t stop BBR staff making sure my glasses were mended and returned to me; another example of this highly professional organisation.

My experience of this practice has always been good, with very helpful professional staff. Recently, during this lockdown, I contacted BBR with the distant hope that I could replace some favourite sunglasses bought a decade earlier. Not only had they still got my records, with details of the purchase, but Nick offered to show me various pairs on Facetime video, which resulted in my being able to purchase a pair which they ordered and posted to me. I was amazed and delighted to have had this service 'virtually' and without the need to visit the practice. Many thanks!

Myself and our family have lived abroad many years now, but we come home every year so we can get our eyes checked with the absolute latest technology available. Some health issues make it vital we are checked thoroughly yearly. Even the eye hospital here didn't have as up to date equipment. We've also tried several places in London that were supposed to be 'equal' to the tests and service offered by BBR Optometry and we found them always lacking in some test or other, professionalism and/or competence. A once a year journey home to Hereford is a must for us!

The optician and his team gave my husband exceptional care when he had an emergency eye problem. We arrived unannounced at reception and were treated with professionalism and compassion by the BBR team. I can’t thank you enough

Four generations of our family have had outstanding care at BBR Optometry over they past two decades. The standard of care and dispensing services are excellent. The choice of designer frames, contact lenses and sunglasses has always been outstanding.

I have been a patient at BBR Optometry for almost three years now and during that time I have always received an outstanding service. The eye examination is as thorough as could be and the team is always really welcoming and professional. I am glad I live in Hereford!

Went to the BBR optometry for my dry eyes and had lipiflow and IPL treatment with Alison. Could not have asked for better service. Shes excellent at her job. Very professional and happy to answer any questions you have. Couldn't recommend her enough. Also, great value for money.
