Alex is great at his job. He's guided me through the purchase of several pairs of spectacles over the years, and has a wonderful knack for finding what works for you on an individual basis - both style and budget-wise.

They stock wide selection of frames over broad price range, which are regularly updated. There's always something new to try on whenever I visit, and it is always a pleasure to catch up with the team, who are all lovely people. I honestly wouldn't use anyone else having been with them for over a decade now.

An excellent family run business who I would thoroughly recommend to anybody looking for an Optician in the local area.

I have used Vision + Eyecare for a number of years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Buying glasses is such a personal thing and also an important investment, and I really feel they go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and not to rush you with the decision making. When I need new glasses or an eye test, I actually look forward to the experience, as I know I will come away completely happy. Thank you to Alex and all the team at Vision + Eyecare for providing such a high quality product range and always showing real care and attention in all their dealings with me.

The eye examination provided by Tim was first class compared to other opticians I’ve used in the past. Alex’s experience was very helpful when it came to ordering my first pair of varifocal glasses. Thank you for your professionalism and friendly manner, I would highly recommend the team to all.

The eye test which was undertaken by Tim, was the most thorough test I have had in 30 years of wearing glasses, money well spent for sure. Emily helped me choose my new frames, her professionalism and friendly manner made the whole experience a pleasure, even her recommendation for where to eat that evening was spot on, thank you.

Fabulous Optician. An extensive selection of designer frames, with first class customer service.  Alex is a delight to work with; he is extremely patient and skilled at selecting the right frames, tinted lenses (in my case) and ensuring the correct fit. A truly great experience every time.  Thank you.
