I recently had an appointment for a lens aftercare check, and I was really impressed with the service. The optician was very polite and carried out a thorough examination, which made me feel well looked after. While I was there, I also took the opportunity to browse new glasses and sunglasses. A lovely lady named Laura helped me choose some frames, and she was absolutely fantastic—friendly, honest with her opinions, and made me feel completely at ease throughout. All of the staff, both in person and over the phone, were incredibly helpful and pleasant to deal with. They answered all of my questions with patience and professionalism. Overall, it was a really positive experience!

Excellent and friendly customer service. They helped me pick out the correct size of glasses for my face. Also had a straight forward eye appointment. Very efficiently run and friendly place. Would highly recommend.

I just wanted to provide some feedback following my visit yesterday. The optometrist who conducted my eye test was fantastic. They were very thorough and took the time to explain everything, which made me feel at ease. It was clear that they really care about their patients. Additionally, the service I received after the test was exceptional. The staff member who assisted me was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to help me choose the right eyewear. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience and appreciate the high level of care I received. Thank you for making my visit so pleasant!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Brown's Opticians! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease. The reception team was friendly and efficient, ensuring that all my details were up-to-date and answering any questions I had. The eye examination was thorough and professional. The optometrist explained every step of the process, making it both informative and reassuring. They took the time to address my concerns and provided expert advice on maintaining my eye health. Choosing new glasses (in a previous visit) was a delight. The staff member was incredibly patient, offering helpful suggestions while respecting my preferences. They clearly had a great understanding of style and fit, and I left with a pair of frames I absolutely love! The entire experience (of both visits) was seamless, with an evident focus on customer care and attention to detail. I highly recommend Brown's Opticians to anyone looking for exceptional service and expert eye care. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable!
