I recently had an eye test at my local boots opticians I was attended to by Keira and Wendy who were both very professional (especially Keira)with my needs.
In20 years of visiting more well-known
High Street opticians I have never received such attention and Care. I would just like to say thank you.
The opticians was in Portsmouth city Centre and I would encourage anybody who wants her eyes attended to professionally with the care and consideration I received to attend this branch. Many thanks again and I hope your company appreciates your hard work and gives you the recognition you deserve thank you.

really kind and efficient with checking my eyes and I don't need reading glasses anymore

I have a complaint about the Crystal Peaks store.
I signed up in Oct 2025 and had an eye test for the contact lens rewards scheme.
I had an eye test at that time and awaited my initial supply of lens.
From Dec 2025 I kept getting emails saying I needed another eye test. Which was confusing as no one had said anything to me about this and I had not even had my first supply of lens.
I rang up ( I had to ring the central office which took three attempts. They are useless and I will actively go out my way to never ring them again)
So I had a second eye test in Jan 2026
My next supply of lens is due now. I noticed when I login that it said my lens would go into store which I thought was odd as I’ve had a recent eye test.
So as I was going into another store I went and asked. They checked and said all was fine.
I then get a email to say my lens are going into store as I have not had an eye test.
So i ring the store. The
lady wasn’t that helpful until I pressed her to check the system. She then told me the system had been changed and she corrected it so my lens would come to me.
Today I receive a email to say my lens have been delivered but not to my house to the store.
I again ring up to be told I need to collect them (why this isn’t my fault)
And that I need to ring the central office to make sure this doesn’t happen again (why? )
I’m really unhappy with this.
I will now not have any lens to take on holiday with me
I feel I have been dismissed and no one has sorted this out in a reasonable manner.
I do not think the amount of phone calls I’ve had to make is acceptable or being told to come pick my lens up is the right response ( I live 20 mins away it’s not a quick visit and I have 2 young children)
The whole point was I signed up as it was convenient to have my lens delivered
None of this has been convenient

A very helpful and knowledgeable lady called Vrindha helped and advised me when choosing 2 pairs of spectacles.
She took time to explain why certain frames were not suitable for varifocal lenses. I tried on several different types, and she helped me decide which shapes suited my face. She was very patient and didn't rush me into making my decision. Her focus on me, as the customer was first class and I would highly recommend seeking her out if you are in the Watford store.

I’ve been using boots opticians for a few years , today I had a my first eye exam with Sabbia, who was great , she’s professional, knowledgeable and thorough.
Sabbia addressed my concerns and reassured me, explaining the images and advising best drops for dry eyes.
Rav then took over to assist in choosing frames that are light weight and work best for my face shape. Rav was lovely, engaging , patient and helpful, she collected numerous designs to try, reassured me on my choice, went on to take more images and explain them fully.
These appointments are not something I look forward to or actually enjoy generally, however due to these to lovely women what a pleasant experience it was. Thank you both, Mandi xx

Thoroughly fed up with Boots Opticians. Joined their 'contact lens rewards plan' 2 years ago. Was getting pulled in for lens reviews every 3 months despite wearing lenses for 30 years. Messages via WhatsApp appeared to help and with a follow up call it was agreed yearly lens review was all that was required. This just seems to have stopped sending me lenses by post, but of course are STILL taking direct debits. I called and tried WhatsApp, who are both saying they can't help, go to the other one to sort it out. Ridiculous. I'll go OUT MY WAY to the shop to sort this out (hopefully) and get a refund and find another optician. No doubt, when I get to the shop there will be no one qualified to help. BTW, their WhatsApp service that THEY offered.

Debbie and Biran were very kind to me and my children at the appointment they were very helpful and provided excellent service. I highly recommend Boots Opticians in Weston Favell.

The process was seamless.
I booked an appointment online upon arrival I was quickly taken without any delay to have my eye test done.
When choosing my glasses, Sophie was great at giving advice. She was comprehensive in explaining the cost and the different options available.
I collected my glasses 6 days later!
Sophie went through the cover care again which I purchased upon collection of my glasses.
The customer service was exceptional from everyone who was part of my experience. This was my first visit to this branch and couldn't have been happier with my experience.
The standout was Sophie - every company needs a Sophie.
What a great asset she is to The business.

I had an emergency appointment and was really impressed with the care I received from both the optical consultant Charlotte and the optician Abbie. They were professional, attentive, and acted quickly while still taking the time to explain everything clearly and reassure me throughout. Their calm and friendly approach made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I’m very grateful for their expertise and excellent care.

Such a friendly welcome. My husband and I had lots of questions which were quickly answered as we were bringing a prescription from another opticians. Danni was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when helping to choose frames and lenses and very approachable (and so was Doug) We were seen very quickly and saved a huge amount of money compared to where we had been going. Great standard of service at extremely competitive prices. Thank you 🙏☺️
