Specsavers Opticians and Audiologists - Swindon: what do users think?
Anonymous Anonymous: Wouldn’t return again ever seen been going here been having eye pain and problems with eyes we be going somewhere different wouldn’t use specsavers again spent a lot money just have problems and staff don’t seem to care either
James Rayner: Always good place to go to for my eye test.
Carl Games: Good professional service, very happy with my 2 pairs of varifocal specs.
Kevin Bourton: Very helpful and friendly staff
baz6755: Only gave 1 star as wouldn't allow zero. First visit in the two and a half hours waiting they got my prescription wrong. Went back booked first appointment of the day 8am didn't open doors till nearly 8:10am so already running late from first appointment sent to same optometrist again even though they said it would be someone different. Got the prescription wrong again went to two other places and the prescription were the same but different to spec savers. Went in for my refund and only refunded the glasses not the eye test even though it was wrong twice. My advice would be pay a little more and go to Leightons.

Mohan S.: Review 13/03/2023.I have to maintain this review at only two stars.I went back to Specsavers a few months ago and they did a test and I chose to put new lenses into an old pair of frames I had which were still in good condition. I am pleased to say they did a pretty much 5 star job on the lens production and were better spec than Vision Express and I am still wearing them. HOWEVER this Swindon Town Centre Specsavers branch still has some of the same problems as follows:- They can't handle the customer demand. Full stop.Long waits on telephone to answer (if anyone picks up). When I made the decision to go back to Specsavers, I was met with a man at their reception who said no one available to talk to me, everyone is busy. (Its more like a check point where they decide if they let you in or not. And less like a reception.) He then agreed that I should make an appointment just to have a chat. I then left, and whilst still in the high street, I called in. No one picked up. Then a lady called me back a few minutes later and said they should not say to make an appointment to have a chat but that she will make an appointment for someone to speak to me today in the branch in about an hour. Then I walked back to the branch and back to the check point inside the front door and (a lady this time) had problems finding that appointment I just made. I was on time. I then had to wait there about half an hour until someone came to me to discuss what I needed.- They still have that odd sign standing outside the front door prompting people to book online. Not very welcoming. Why bother having a branch if you're going to prompt visitors to book online via a Smartcode barcode.- On my last visits a few months ago, the interior is dated and old especially upstairs waiting area. Downstairs waiting area has an aircon system on the ceiling which is black-sooted up beside all it's vent outlets. Not clean.I waited longer than expected appointment time on all recent visits.- I am not 100% on whether or not they clean all the test equipment straight after each customer uses it. But I'll accept the yes they gave me when I questioned them. I hope.Previous review May 22:I have deleted this due to Google maximum character limit exceeded.However it ended with: I am upgrading this review from 1 star to 2 stars. 28/05/2022Previous review: Jan 2022I have deleted this due to Google maximum character limit exceeded.
Agnieszka s: Paulina is a nice and professional person.Thank you for the perfect service ☆☆☆☆☆
Izzah Tiama: wonderful full service opticians
Adrian Millward: Had my prescription done by them, I have had no problem with the service and will use them again
John Kurton: The staff were very helpful and friendly
fiona Marshall: Emma at contact lenses was so helpful. I am visiting and forgot my contact lenses so Emma showed so much care and empathy and went way over her call of duty. Excellent service. Provided me with the advice and guidance and temporary contacts after checking my prescription. So quick to resolve and a very happy customer. Well done Emma you are what keeps customers for Specsavers.
david pryor: Good service, short waits, polite staff.
Bob Leighfield: Glasses are heavy, make my sight blurry and give headaches, had to return to wearing my old glasses. Not happy

Vision Express Opticians - Swindon: what do users think?
Dawn Hale: Always friendly and helpful, great service. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Ella Hutchison: Great service. Professional, friendly and helpful team. Thanks
Dee Francis: I went to the Tesco store in swindon today absolutly lovely lady very professional great customer service young lady called Shati very happy with the service at Tesco Swindon extra
Michael Cotton: I purchased new spectacles at Vision Express (VE) in Bath in March, but unfortunately broke the ear hooks (temple clips) recently. VE in Swindon told me these spectacles were no longer produced and therefore I should need to insert new lenses at a cost of c.£250-300. VE Bath said the same. This anyway proved impossible. So, despite a very minor break at the joint angle, the spectacles were effectively condemned. I subsequently was able to have them repaired in 3days in Switzerland (where the cost of living is at least twice that in England) for £60.The customer repair service at VE therefore leaves much to be desired, so customers need to beware!
David Escott: Very polite staff and very welcoming staff where happy to advise and be leave in products in store so I would think easy to promote
Alli Drewett: I had a test today with Maqsood he was a very nice understanding man. Maqsood explained everything in detail to me of what was happening and what he was doing, I received excellent service and I thank Maqsood so much for making me feel at ease today. Thank you Maqsood 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Anesu: Super grateful for Vision Express Swindon town centre colleagues for seeing me this past week at a short notice..Sometimes with short sight and glasses you can’t predict when your prescription will change and it did for me when I didn’t have an appointment booked in.Thank you for seeing me at short notice and now will be going to collect my glasses
Yvonne Robson: Very efficient and helpful.
Marie Seagrave: Had a really rough appointment at specsavers after we went for medical reason and even tho my son is a child would work out to nearly £200 for a test that turns out he doesn't need and a fortune on lenses and glasses.Walked past vision express and decided to get a 2nd opinion and a lady named Sarah came to help and could see I was confused with everything and she sat me and my son down listened and explained everything and ended up 15 /20 minutes of her time my son is happy with glasses that will help with his epilepsy and issues he’s having at school with lights and screens and cost me £50 Thank you to Sarah and I will be using vision express when my next eye test is due despite using specsavers for many years.Highly recommend
Paul S: Excellent service during eye test. Optometrist explained my eye test results brilliantly in language I understand. The whole eye test process is so much better that years ago and Vision Express are one of the best in my experience.
Sharon Davies: Staff and service was excellent. Everything done and said was clearly explained and all questions asked answered 👍. Would definitely recommend.
C S: I have used Vision Express in Swindon for a very long time and I find everybody there to be very helpful and they give a good customer experience as they do not rush you into making a decision straight away, they make sure you are happy first before going ahead. They have a good selection of frames to choose from as well as contact lenses which I am still thinking about getting.
Carol Cooper: Excellent service. Requested an urgent eye test. All done efficiently and within 24 hours
Thando Mlotshwa: Excellent professional service from the all staff,
Rukman Grg: Excellent service..thank you.
franklin palma: I am extremely upset since they lost my wife's glasses, and they cannot solve what happened to them, an apology is not the solution, when you are responsible for something that is not yours
Edgardo Paras: Good experience the attending staff is delivering good service
debbie ramsay: Husband and I went Thursday for eye tests , staff were very friendly and helpful. Wish I got the young ladies name who sorted out both of our glasses but she was lovely and even enjoyed a laugh and a joke with us , Dame Edna glasses is all I'm going to say . (Not on the young lady i might add )
Teddy Edward: Friendly staff who explained everything really well.
Ann R: Lovely,super helpful place and people. Thank you for all your professional help.
Kevin Butler: Quick fast and a very.pleasant visit and as always staff were very professional

Leightons Opticians & Hearing Care: what do users think?
David Huddy: Genuinely a great experience, I had previously been to Specsavers and received a much more relaxed atmosphere and attention to detail at Leighton's. Friendly staff who actually took the time to listen.
Pat Cavill: Brilliant care as always, thank you all for your advice and help.
Dave: Friendly, good service, may be more expensive than Specsavers but worth the extra.
Betty Thompson: Always friendly and informative, giving time to go over every question or query that you may raise.
Colin Jones: very friendly and professional
Sam Wyatt: I was very pleased with my eye test today, at Leightons in wood street Swindon. The staff were very friendly, I felt my eyes recieved a very comprehensive check, and the optician that looked at my eyes was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Many Thanks Sam
Jacek Bryniarski: Excellent care
Roger Gibson: A very thorough examination, no rush and everything explained. I did O level biology but learnt more about the eye in 5 minutes than 5 years at school. Good Covid routines made me feel secure as well as a valued client.
Maureen Iles: Both my husband and I wear glasses and have been attending Leightons now for several years. All the staff at Leightons are extremely helpful and courteous so visits are enjoyable. Waiting times when visiting are minimal, and we are always seen on time, which is rare these days.The shop is welcoming and standards are high. The care we receive is exceptional and we even get a decent cup of coffee when we visit!Another plus is that when ringing Leightons, the "holding" music is very pleasant and calming. We probably pay more than we would at one of the High Street opticians, but we have had very few issues with new spectacles, and if we have any queries, they are quickly sorted out - and with a smile too, unlike some stories we have heard from friends who have visited other opticians. Gold Star to Kate and her team.
kathy g: Re' Swindon, Old Town,Everyone is Very Friendly.All Questions are Answered fully.Excellent overall Service provided.And I am 'Very HAPPY with my NEW VF Glasses' now.Thank you to Leighton's, Old Town Swindon, branch.
Rachel Monniot: I was very pleased with my experience as I was reassured that my eyes were healthy, and I didn’t need a new prescription.
a gladwyn: Always a good welcome- very professional optometrist with incredible new equipment!!!
Steve Johnson: Very friendly and professional, great service.
Peter Mainwaring: I always feel well looked after when I visit Leightons. I'm very pleased with both my new pairs of glasses.
Meloney Murphy: I felt i was in good hands visiting leightonsOptician's, very proffessional & friendly team, my experience felt tailored & i would highly recommend them.
Steven Telfer: All good. All staff are great.Everything I needed was dealt with.As always.Steve.
Roy Partington: I wanted a second opinion eye exam to rule out my eyes or glasses as been the cause.I was having some strange issues with dizziness and nausea.So chose Leightons as I have always gone to Boots.I saw Suzanne McIntyre and I had the Ultimate eye examination.The whole team came across friendly but professional.Suzanne really did fill me with the confidence that she definitely knew her profession and what she said was correct.I have always recommended boots to friends and family members in the past as I wont go to specsavers as its just too rushed and in-personnel.Leightons is quite the opposite and even though it was more expensive than boots or specsavers, I would rather pay that bit extra when it comes to my eyes to feel that they have being examined correctly and in-depth and not felt as though I was rushed through.From now on I will be going to Leightons and recommending them.
Lala Boo: Very friendly staff, really took the time and care to explain every step of the test and really looked after me, from helping to choose a pair of glasses to suit me and the after care was great! Glad my sister recommended Leightons to me.
Nicola Bates: Im so pleased with the service at Leightons , both in the optician and hearing department.Kate in fitting of the glasses is so full of helpful information , advice and knowledge. She has been so patient in helping me adjust to varivocals. Due to my age I had to use varivocals, I gave up the first time. Yet with Kate's knowledge and patience, I tried again.If you have to wear varivocals please keep trying there really not nice to begin with yet once you hit the two week marker they gradually get better. When you hit the 4 week marker, I only notice them now when I get tired. The benefits of being able to see the car dials , distance and not having to swap between readers and normal glasses is so much better. Thanks to Kate I kept going with them this time. I also have swapped my sunglasses to varivocals now. Hopefully we will get sun soon and I can try them out as well.I also want to leave a review for Adam. He is so kind, patient and reassuring in regards to ear wax removal. He takes his time reassures you , explains everything as he works on you. I couldn't ask for any better service.In regards to Covid procedures the whole branch is amazing. From a very anxious, long covid sufferrer ,they have completely put me at my ease. They always book me in when the practice is quiet which is much appreciated. There cleanliness is amazing, Lauren wipes door handles and chairs after someone has used them. So do the other staff.They all use masks, aprons, face Shields and hand gel.The reception team, Lauren and Wendy are very kind as well.I am so pleased with the continued support and service I receive from the whole team at Swindon branch.Thanks again.
Cheeky Little Prints: I have been using Leightons Opticians in Swindon for many years for myself and my children. Our recent visit was just like all of the others, fantastic. We were seen on time, had a friendly optician and received excellent customer service. I would highly recommend.
Paul Chapman: Excellent service, best glasses I've ever had.The team took time to understand my slightly odd eyes and listened to my explanations of why previous glasses had not always worked well for me. I now have lenses that let me work clearly and frames that are comfortable and easy to care for. Substantially better service than the two previous opticians I had used.

Boots Opticians: what do users think?
Steve Woodman: Fantastic post sales and customer service received this afternoon. Store manager, Jose, went above and beyond to aid me. Great experience.
Julie Blackwell: Really impressed with service, two pairs of glasses ready within a week and excellent advice and fitting.
Jacquie Mordak: My husband and I had our eyes tested at Boots, I would totally recommend. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, the optician explained everything and gave my eyes a thorough test. I don't usually enjoy choosing and buying the glasses but the practician manager Jose was excellent. Why go anywhere else!
Umaraj oi l87t Thavabalasingam: Recently had my eyes tested by Kajani and was assisted by Tanvi Patel. Both done a great job, excellent customer service skills. Great asset to your company.
Lucia Cabrera: Unprofessional treatment. I ordered my lenses on January.Called to the store many times, each time I was told the lenses were in their way and I just need to be patient.After 3 weeks waiting I went to the store and discovered the order was cancelled because the lenses were discontinued (nobody made me aware).Then I was offered new lenses but I had to try them, so they ordered the trial ones.The trial arrived and I was in isolation due covid so I asked if they could post them to my home and they said they will.1 week later nothing arrived in the post so I called and the lady on the phone told me they hadn't posted them yet, apologized and told me she will do it straight away.4 days later and still no lenses.I went to the store, claim refund and I asked for my prescription.Surprise! The prescription date was expired... So or they falsified the date so I couldn't use my prescription in other optician or they "ordered" lenses using an expired prescription.Awful customer care, awful service I'm really disappointed.I will never go back nor recommend it to anyone.
Revd Father Dr. Paris Haines (Community Priest): Great service second time round. Thank you.
Bruce (Bruce): Very inflexible, will not even let you browse or go near till without an appointment despite shop floor being empty, staff standing around idle. Told there aren't any appointments available soon. I just wanted to look at display cases and buy with a pre-existing prescription, but no way to.I understand sensible precautions, but this is too far.Frustrating, but at least they let me take my prescription away for another shop to take.
Humour Mill: Can't fault it!
Hot Contents Barbershop: Everybody was pleasant, great service
Vicky Wright: Great service. Lauren was excellent, very friendly and helpful!
Kieran White: Quick and easy appointment
anita eastman: Very thorough. Quick service
Katharine Cooper: Thorough testing of my eyes by courteous and knowledgeable staff. Advice given when needed. Felt safe with covid precautions in place
Rhys Turner: Attended opticians appointment as arranged . There was good Covid 19 health and safety compliance with staff helpful and friendly.
Pauline Puffitt: Would so like to thank Lauren for going above and beyond to help me with my broken glasses today. Nothing was too much trouble and she is a credit to your team. A brilliant example of exemplary customer service 👏 Pauline Puffitt.
David Warwick: Very good eye test ,was getting headaches. Test very good.sent letter to my docs.had new glasses.bad heads due to blood pressure high.been back to for adjustments on one pair. Service very good indeed . Don't know what people moan about ..bosses listen ,keep it up people, and I'll be back ...
Phil Walter: Very happy with Boots, Swindon.I've had my eyes checked there for two years now by Ummi, who is very pleasant, friendly and very efficient.The glasses ordering service is very good too and the after sales is very professional and friendly too.Wouldnt t go anywhere else!
Peter Rybka: No one to answer the phone. Or answers, stays quiet for a while and hangs up.. a joke!
Toni Starr: I've only been going to Boots for a couple of years, after several opticians - all if whom were good. Boits are welcoming, efficient, friendly without being obsequeous, sell lovely glasses, and unless I move out os Swindon there's no way I'd go anywhere else. I just trust them
Jon Russell: This time totally shambolic not only charged for services that wasn’t asked if I wanted so felt cheated then the glasses I ordered turned up incorrect then told they will rush the order through that was the 21st of November now Friday the 13th of December and no news what so ever no follow up to explain what the delay utterly and totally disappointed with the service and customer satisfaction will be the last time I use boots
Ian Cockman: Did go there for eyesight test for my mother a while ago and was sent away with a clean bill of eye health only to find a cataract in one eye was missed by the optition. Go gain, not a chance.

Vision Express Opticians at Tesco - Swindon: what do users think?
Vanda Verbias: I had a swollen,red eye for a couple of days that also felt gritty.I went to the pharmacy and ask them what should I do?They told me to go over to vision express to get it checked out.I spoke to the people out front.There was no mention of payment at any time.They took me in the back and checked my eye.Told me I had an infection and I need medicine and they also recommended to get some kind of eye drops.Then when I walked out they told me I had to pay £25.£15 for the examination and almost £10 for the bloody eye drops.Not going there ever again.I was completely blindsided.If I was told it cost that much I would’ve gone to the GP for free.😡
Jacqui Sheppard: Excellent service
andrea smith: Vision express is ( simple the best )It's the only place i shop for my eye test and glasses. You get excellent service, and the staff are always happy and smiling.
Philchandler19842014 Phil Chandler: Excellent service and very helpful and friendly all the staff
Rhiannon Reynolds: I went for my eye test on the Saturday 21st of January 2023. This was my first time going to vision express in Tescos, and I will certainly be coming back!! The staff were super helpful and so friendly! I absolutely hate going for eye tests - after having nothing but awful experiences with Asda opticians but I felt proper at ease.And to make it better my glasses were ready to collect by Monday! After being told it would be around 10 days. Excellent service. Thank you ☺️

Steven Crinson: Even though it is sited within a Large tesco store it still seemed private enough. The staff are friendly do their best with what appears to be very limited stocks of frames for Men with few cheaper models. The Optician who did my test was efficient and straight forward, he was also more friendly on my second visit.
Alan Hall: Very professional service given by the team ,
