Optimist was brilliant and very friendly. Wanted some frames I'd seen in boots but was told boots sell old stock and so couldn't be ordered in. Ended up picking some designer Bvlgari glasses and placed an order at 350+ for reading prescription. Went to check them online and found them to be old clearance range online selling for around 110! Needless to say I cancelled my order as didn't appreciate the dishonest selling tactic, especially after slating boots.

When asked for my DP measurement, staff refused to provide me with this as "not our policy" if not ordering from them even though they had it logged on the system and no skin off their nose to provide this information. Very petty! Appalling service and dishonest sales tactics.

Went for my eye test yesterday. Great experience. The optometrist gave a clear explanation and feedback as he went through the various tests. Best bit of all - the eye pressure test is now done with a new device that doesn't require the puff of air.
