Tesco Opticians

Excellent service! Great prices!! Contrary to popular belief, every store is different and you cannot tar everyone with the same brush. I've been wearing specs since i was 8 and I have been to every high street Opticians and some independents too and the service is never consistent across the board, it all depends on the individual store. However, based on my experience, I would recommend the Chadwell heath store to anyone living locally. The manager/optician and testing optician are very knowledgeable and helpful. Once again contrary to popular belief, even though it is Tesco, you have to ... more

Visited my nearest Tesco Optician to get eyesight checked, drove the 8 miles over when i got there was told by a very unfriendly Coloured Lady that i had to make an appointment, tried to talk to her regards my previous specs from Specsavers and could i just have the lenses changed, she interupted me so just walked away, so i returned the following day and was greeted by 2 friendly assistants, i went in first, my wife followed. After having my eyes tested, i eventually had to ask the chap, 'how do you know i need new glasses'' he then asked me how would i describe my test and the last few ... more

Being a DandA customer for many years, it was time for a change . I went round to my local Tesco's in Burnley to have my wife's and my eye's tested. The service was very promt and my wife was pleased with the way they delt with her saying that she'd never know an eye test to be more in depth than there. When it came to purchasing the glasses, again the choice though not big was very good, and VERY CHEAP!!! We got four pairs in total, 2x Diesel for me one with thinner lenses and the other tinted both UV and scratch resistant and the same for my wife with Bench and Morgan. The total bill came to ... more

Don't Waste Your Hard Earned Cash. I paid £229 for a pair of Titanium Glasses with another pair free ( Tommy Hilfiger frame ).The Titanium frames never fitted properly as the arms were too short. The lense was not polished around the edge - so gave a halo effect, even though they had an anti-glare coating. After 5 adjustments for the frames - they were eventually sent back for the lense edge to be polished - and got lost in the post ! I was able to choose the Tommy Hilfiger frame as a replacement and these arrived two weeks later. I had paid extra for a thin lense and when they arrived they ... more

Just visited Tesco opticians - When I arrived female assistant was on the phone and had to stand and wait for her to finish. She scowled at me and took my details and did not exchange one single pleasantry. I had to have pressure tests repeated but no explanation. Went to purchase glasses but optometrist had "gone to lunch" even though he had just asked for my test to be repeated and was fully aware that I couldn't do anything until he had seen my test results. Told to walk round the shop for a while. Told I should try varifocal - asked how this worked when you worked on large graphic design ... more
