The Village Optician

I chose this opticians because of a previous review and I was not disappointed. Excellent service and friendly people. They provide all the modern tests and equipment combined with old-​fashioned service. Although I did not need to buy any glasses, I noticed that the prices were very competitive.
One possible problem is the parking. You might be lucky and find a space on the road outside the premises, or failing that there is an off-​street car park a little further down the road. However, if walking is a problem, their premises at Newton Hall is in a small shopping mall with its own parking area.
I would thoroughly recommend this optician.

This opticians combines all that you would expect of old fashioned service and courtesy with up to date equipment and goods.
The receptionist here is exceptionally helpful and professional. She has always been ever so good at putting my children at ease when waiting in the waiting area.
There is a good range of glasses — although I accept not the range you may find in a large optical superstore in a large shopping centre. However the range is very fair and appears to include lots of modern styles. The same can be said for thier range fo contact lenses. Obviously they don’t hold the range of the optical superstores but they do have a good range including coloured lenses, dily and monthly lenses.
Service we have received from the opticians themselves has always been first class. Again I must say that in realtion to my children they are second to none. I always worry when taking young children for this kind of eaxmination in case they can see but for whatever reason actually say the wrong thing. Alst time I went I ended up with the impression that in addition to being an optician he was also a child psychologist as he was able to tell when my child had just had enough and had started saying anything because she was bored. Thankfully he didn’t write out a prescription for glasses, instead he tried different testing techniques until he had the true picture. Very understanding, approachable and knowledgable.
I would certainly recommend them!
