I finally had my eyes tested today after rearranging my appointment 3 times and I have to say that…read morewasn't a problem for the shop they changed it each time with a smile. They were thoroughly tested too , field vision , that horrible one were they puff air at your eyeball and for an extra £10 you can have an image taken of the back of your eye which shows up any problems- however there was no pressure to have this done. I then saw the optician , a very friendly lady who explained everything she asked or did very clearly and was friendly and polite. She then went through my new prescription explaining any changes and recommending what glasses I would need. Now I have to be honest here I went to Boots as I had a voucher for a free eye test which you just don't waste and thought about just taking the prescription and running but they had some really pretty glasses and a buy one get one free offer on single lens glasses and as I need glasses for reading and long distance for driving that was ideal . What swung the deal was the insurance I am always putting my glasses down and sitting on them or knocking them onto the floor and standing on them but for £20 I could insure them against accidental damage ( scratches,breakages etc) for 12 months- take them in get a new pair -great. So all in all I was very impressed with the staff, the eye test , the range of glasses and the price. Will definitely be going back there for my next eye test.

Having gone to another opticians for years, i went here when i couldn't get an appointment and i…read morewas very impressed. The staff were thourough and the equipment used was very impressive, after being used to one optician peering in my eyes, i was surprised at the number of tests available. They went over my prescription in great detail and we had a decent choice of glasses, although i did think they pushed the designer glasses a bit too much. Would certainly go back there again and have booked my next apppointment. One of the added bonuses for me is that it is all on one level, and you get boots points as well.

As I walked into Vision Express, I was promptly greeted by a friendly staff member, who ushered me…read morein to the preliminary test room, where he quickly examined my eyes, and confirmed my details. Once he had finished, I was shown the waiting area. The waiting area consisted of 4 seats, and a nice selection of Local magazines and the general waiting-room mags. Because I was a tad early I had to wait 5 mins for my appointment, but that is far better than my experiences at other Opticians. My actual eye exam by the optometrist, was thorough and paid careful attention to the exact lens prescription I needed. Checking all my eye-rleated medical history, and discussing my problems etc. Although she was a young optometrist, in my (un-trained) opinion, she was very good. Once I'd completed the eye-exam, I was passed to the original staff member who had greeted me, who then gave me advise on the lens and frames (and their associated costs). I was then aided in choosing a frame that I liked. Although in my case, I preferred to choose alone, and they gave me plenty of time and space. Once I'd chosen my frames, they careful outlined the costs again, and I paid then and there. And I was able to collect my new glasses an hour later. As you may surmise, I was very happy with the whole experience, and I would recommend. Although in hindsight, they may be a little more expensive than other Opticians.

Tried the new opticians store in Preston at 250 New Hall Lane over the weekend. They saved me over…read more£130 on my Prada sunglasses and £84 on my Armani spectacles inc thin lenses.

Didn't have the gucci sunglasses that i originally wanted - Gucci 2986, but ended up finding a…read morebetter pair (Gucci 2918) from the 20 gucci frames they did have. This frame also cost me £57 less than what i was quoted the first time. The optician was friendly and insisted that she had other models in stock that i would like more (and cost less) and im glad i took her up on the offer. Now my dad needs some new designer glasses and we will both be going back to these guys. Free parking outside and 100's of designer frames (specs and shades) to choose from. I found them via their website http://www.prestoneyewear.com Siobhan, Preston

The staff are very welcoming and most helpful and I feel there prices are reasonable but lets face you can't put " A price on your sight, can you". And this is why i have given 5 stars as i feel they tick all the right boxes.

They are very efficient and through, and they stock a wide range of frames. Several times I have had to take back frames which have been broken by the children, and they have fixed then without asking for any payment.

The opticians is set on two floors, with a lift to reach the upper floor.

Brilliant service and choice of glasses. Thanks you.read more
