Beresford Opticians have been around since 1994... not quite as long as Stewart Greenburg…read moreOpticians, a few doors down the same road, but very different in style. There's little to choose between the two in terms of professionalism and services offered, but I would say that Beresford Opticians are more focussed on meeting everyone's needs than their competitors, in that they provide comprehensive eye care for everybody, not just the well heeled. It's simply a question of positioning. Beresford Opticians pitch their business to all, and Stewart Greenburg Opticians are more into their designer labels and soliciting businesses from wealthier patrons. Like Stewart Greenburg Opticians, Beresford Opticians is an independent practice, but they actively welcome both Private and NHS patients. They also carry an extensive range of designer glasses and sunglasses, but it isn't as comprehensive as the range that you will find at Stewart Greenburg Opticians, who claim that they could very well stock the largest selection of designer frames at affordable prices in South Wales. I like Beresford's. They have one outlet, and so all of their energy is focused right where it's needed. They have spent some time considering the look of the place, which is modern and funky, but most of their efforts are centered on their customers.

Value Vision offers really good value... I guess that's why it's called Value Vision! I'm not sure…read moreif coming here would work out cheaper than using the excellent services of Spectrum Discount Glasses Ltd on Carlisle Street in Splott, but I'm sure that the price tag wouldn't be far off the mark, especially with the special deals that they are doing for NHS customers at the moment. Value Vision are presently offering more than 50% off the usual price of all frames, single vision lenses and bifocals at the moment. I even noticed a sign advertising free sight tests the other day as I cycled passed, but I'm unsure if this comes without strings attached. I know that by law an optician has to provide the client with a written statement of their prescription after a test. This could quite feasibly mean that you could have your test here and then go somewhere else for you glasses. That is, of course, if there's no prerequisite conditions affecting the offer.. which I guess there must be, or how else would Value Vision make their money? I'm looking to change my glasses even though I only got them at the beginning of the year. I've not been happy with them since I got them and so clearly I don't intend to go back to the same shop for a second pair. Friends have recommended both Value Vision and Spectrum Discount Glasses both for quality and price, and so it's simply a case of committing to using one of them. I was impressed by the level of service that I received when I went into Value Vision to make my initial enquiries. The staff were really helpful and explained that I could make major savings through using their service. I checked out the frames that they carry, and was impressed by the range. I could definitely see myself in quite a few of the options available.

It's the first time that I have been prescribed vari-focals, and I was told that the issues that I was having with the glasses would get better in time. They haven't, and I feel as though I have been fed a line! I took them back and had them changed a couple of times, and then I ran out of energy for pursuing the problem, and ended up putting up with a substandard pair of glasses that offered me no improvement in vision than my previous pair that these new ones had replaced... at considerable cost! Anyway, to cut a long story short I called into Optimise Opticians on the offchance they could offer me a better alternative. The only problem was they were busy dealing with someone else, and I didn't have much time. One thing struck me about the business before I left, and that is that it looks quite different to other opticians inside. There are a lot fewer frames lining the walls than at other opticians, and the only printed information I could get my hands on was for transition lenses, which I'm not interested in.
