I had my eye tests done here as well as ordering my new glasses from here and I found te standard of customer service to be really high. My three year old also had an eye test here and they were really great with children - he was disappointed not to need glasses!! I also had my old glasses repaired here for free before I was a customer. They couldn't be nicer or more helpful.

I mostly just use this Specsavers because it's close to where I live, but they have good opening…read morehours (including Sundays) and they open until 7pm on Thursdays which is handy if you can't do appointments during work hours. The staff are friendly, the opticians will chat through your test results with you if (like me) you start asking questions about the photos of the inside of your eyes and they don't seem to do the hard sell too much. Last time I was in, my distance prescription had increased slightly but not much, and they were quite happy when I said I'd hold onto my existing glasses for another two years. Never had any bother here, would definitely recommend them.

Went to one of the big chains recently instead of these guys and regret it - trying to wangle a refund so I can go back to the professionals.

I started having floaters in my eye ( at first i thought it was mascara!) I went to my local…read morepharmacy for an eyewash. I was advised to go to an optician. I use specsavers in Argyle street Glasgow, so i went there (as a walk in appointment) i was there for over an hour and had loads of tests. They got me to Gartnavel hospital as i had a tear in the retina of my eye. The service i had was amazing. All the staff were fantastic. They even said to let them know how i got on. I have been to other specsavers but none have ever came up to the standard of the Argyle street store. 10 out of 10.

Great service today. I booked an eye test followed wax removal (microsuction). Everything ran bang…read moreon schedule. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I purchased two pairs of glasses - one varifocal and one specifically for working, both designer frames (there were cheaper options, too) and the combined price was much less than I paid four years ago in Portugal. Everything was clearly explained. Kayleigh worked wonders on my hearing and has a great sense of humour. I will definitely return. Thank you!

I've only been brave enough to venture in here once and I reckon that'll be the least time too. The…read moreexterior of this little place looks funky and a bit more individual that over opticians you'll find around. However, this individuality is not so attractive in its interior. It's a little too small for my liking with less than friendly staff watching you like a hawk (would anyone really smash glass cabinets open to steal spectacles with plain glass in them??). Meanwhile, the selection of glasses is rather limited, all designer makes and have hefty price tags attached to them. I don't really like to say it BUT should have gone to Specsavers.

Insight is a free eye test that had an opening slot. I had been to Specsavers and Optical Express…read morewho both said that I would have to come back later or another day for an eye test. Let me first explain why I wanted one, because I was getting such a sore head when I was reading on the computer all the time and also when I was reading. It was time to get those multi-coloured glasses on and give it a shot. Great I thought, Insight could see me. The lady was polite, not much else, but she did everything I would have expected and concluded that one of my eyes was a little lazier than the other so I could benefit from a few eye exercises that I could do everyday. I was recommende tomporary glasses for these exercises, but opted to just freestyle them glasses-less. Very expensive are glasses.

Black & Lizars have been tending my eyes for many years, and one of the main reaons that I like…read morethem is that they seem to be quite innovative, and always have the latest special machines for looking at the back of your eyeballs or whatever it is that those machines do. I find the opticians themselves really good, very competent as far as I can tell, and I'm confident that my eye health is being taken care of here. The assistants in this shop are a bit variable. Some are great, and some of them are utterly hopeless. I must have waited about ten minutes once to get some contact solution because the girl couldn't work out which key opened the cabinet. I've not seen her again though so maybe they have a really effective staff management protocol too. I get my contact lenses from here and you can have them delivered to you, or pick them up in the shop. You get solution too as part of the deal. It's probably not the cheapest deal I could find but as I'm happy with the care I'm getting, that's OK with me. One thing they could improve on is their range of spectacle frames. I have an unusually tiny head, and last time I got my specs renewed, I had to get a child's pair. They actually fit OK, but do get a bit tight after a full day of wearing them, so I just never wear them. More recently, when I wanted a pair of dark glasses, I went to Specsavers to get frames, and I would probably do that again rather than trying on every pair in the shop in Black & Lizars. If you have a normal sized head you'll probably be fine though as they seem to have some lovely designs.

My family first started using Black and Lizars up in Aberdeen about 15 years ago. Starting when my…read morebrother got his first pair of specs aged 3. After returning to the UK we were shocked to find they still had our records! So when I needed my eyes tested I chose to continue using them. My last test was only last April which means I wasn't due another free NHS test for another year. The staff were great in explaining this to me, but said if I felt my eye sight had detonated they would put it through as a supplementary test. I went in on Wednesday to book and was able to get a test the next day. The optician was great. I explained how I felt my eyes were worsening and she went through the test. She was lovely and more than willing to switch between lenses when sometimes the changes didn't seem apparent. She gave me my new slightly worse prescription and said it would take a week to change the existing lenses on my current frames. I'm toying with getting more grown up frames. Aka not hot pink and the selection was great. I said I'd probably return with my Mum in tow as I need an honest opinion on glasses.

It is a good sized shop with a lot of choice of glasses frames. The staff are helpful and pretty efficient. When I went for my eye test I was impressed with the high-tec equipment and the thorough test. I have had my glasses repaired there and they are good value for money. The only downside is when I wanted to order my contact lenses from them, they wanted me to pay for another test when I already have a precription and test in date. Worth popping in for a free sight test though.
