I have always hated shopping for new glasses, which has been a painful but necessary process. My…read moreexperience at Jones and Co was a world apart from this. It was so refreshing to sit and be presented with beautiful glasses chosen to suit my face, personality and profession rather than stand alone staring at a wall of homogenous frames without guidance. I'm not going to say it was easy, because deciding between the exquisite frames was far from it. To say that I'm happy with my new spex is an understatement. I'm definitely a Jones and Co convert and will be returning to treat myself to another pair. Next on my shopping list is sunglasses. Oh and the staff were absolutely lovely too!

M&S Opticians is located on the Second Floor of Marks and Spencer on Market Street, Manchester,…read moreit's one of 6 Opticians branches which Marks and Spencer have located on the second floor of the newly refurbished store, right by the Cafe. The staff here were super friendly, from the fantastic optician Mohammed who even warranted a compliment from Boots when I picked up my new glasses, to the lovely women who took my details and run the floor. They did have a good selection of glasses, I only went to another optician after my eye test here for my glasses as they stocked the Dolce and Gabanna brand which they don't seem to stock here, plus they were running a better promotional offer to make it worthwhile. It was so easy getting an appointment, you can make them in-store or online, they did move my appointment earlier but this was better for me, they would have kept it at the same time but didn't want me to be rushed during the test and then looking at picking up new glasses. They did close early on one occasion, I did turn up five minutes before closure, after making them aware this was addressed. 4* - Great Opticians, solve problems well when they do occur. Having a better selection of glasses to compete with Boots, Vision Express and Specsavers should be a priority. It is a shame in the refurb they didn't improve technology such as with the eye testing machines instead of the heavy lense frames, similar to Vision Express.

This is a nice Vision Express location, located on the lower level of the Trafford Centre, I have…read morevisited this store a couple of times over the years, and more recently I actually visited this store and returned to becoming a customer with Vision Express, down to their in-store environment and glasses selection. The store has been refurbished within the past year or two, meeting the new Vision Express branding, the new logo and interior of the store look much more sleek and modern overall. One thing I like about this store, is they have a fantastic selection of designer frames, including brands such as Gucci, Tom Ford, Hugo Boss and Burberry, without locking them down behind a key, this makes the in-store experience much simpler and interactive, as you can try on glasses in your own time, without having a staff member standing over you and chatting, it's much more relaxing, independent and peaceful - This is a huge advantage over my local Vision Express at Manchester Arndale, which seems to lock them all away. My biggest criticism with the selection of eyewear overall would be the need to move towards frames, that have thick temple tips, I'm not sure if this is the way fashion is going, but I find them to be really uncomfortable, and the selection with the thinner rims is much less. The staff here seemed friendly and knowledgeable, and I also appreciate Vision Express' return policy, I was originally unhappy with the discomfort of my original glasses, caused by the thick temple tips and weight, and I was able to swap my glasses over, paying just the difference in the cost of the frame, no questions asked. The prices for designer frames are also competitive compared to high-street rivals, I actually found them cheaper compared to Boots nearby, and buying direct with some manufacturers such as Oakley (The cost of buying lenses directly from Oakley is insane!) 4* - Overall, this Vision Express selection has good service, competitive pricing and a good returns policy, a few minor flaws, but they've helped won my custom over, and I hope it will continue.

I never felt any pressure to buy, as they truly went above and beyond to help me select the best lenses and frames fitting my face. I'd like to thank everyone at The Spectacle Factory for going the extra mile and making me feel in great hands.

Boots at Millgate in Bury is a fairly cramped store but still has a reasonably good selection…read more It has a large pharmacy counter, and the selection around the store is reduced (compared to larger stores) but it is okay, some of the products did seem to be damaged/opened so they could pay more attention to that. For some reason, the checkouts seemed to be right in the middle of the store, which meant you had to pass them in order to get through the store, this means queuing could be rather uncomfortable as it could easily mean blocking aisles, they would have been better placed on a corner, or at the back of the store: this is the first time I've seen a Boots store do this, I don't see why it couldn't be possible to move them. The store was clean, reduced staff in the store but as expected due to the UK government restrictions ongoing for COVID-19 3*
