Becca is a credit to Specsavers

Becca is a credit to Specsavers in Buckingham. Professional, knowledgeable, approachable and so helpful. After such an awful experience at Specsavers Milton Keynes, I nearly changed to another opticians. Excellent customer service - well done!

Staff lovely and efficient

Staff lovely and efficient, however disappointed when told price of glasses with a presumption I would have the super value variofocals.
Was not told about the different prices and the difference in them, very disappointed with this. Nonetheless option initially given till I asked why the glasses were so expensive & what the different lenses were. I am a 70 year old pensioner & money is precious!! Because I asked i got the cost of my glasses down from over £350 to £170, there is really little difference in the variofocals that I have noticed!

Get out of Astley

Get out of Astley. I’ll be boycotting you and every other company using Whistl until you cease operations or they move out.

Staff were very friendly and helpful

Staff were very friendly and helpful
We booked an appointment for my elderly mother online not knowing that we would have to go upstairs as this was not stated during the online booking service. My mother is not very mobile so it was a huge effort to even get there let alone go upstairs. At first the staff said there was nothing they could do and that we would have to come back another day which would have been a mammoth task for my mother but at my insistence they did work things around so that she could be seen downstairs. It wasn't the fault of the branch staff and I am grateful that they were able to find a solution but the online booking service needs to be improved so that people are aware they will need to go upstairs and should be advised to call the branch direct if they aren't mobile enough
