Opticians

[flick]

Does anyone have anything particularly good / bad to say about Boots opticians?

I've always used D&A, which have now been bought by Boots. I'm not going to use my local branch, whatever it's now called, as they messed up my last pair of glasses, and the branch that I went to to get them sorted out isn't there any more as it was too close to a big Boots.

Alternatively, does anyone have anything particularly good to say about any of the other chains, particularly for non-straightforward prescriptions?

(Today, we went for a ride in the woods, and it was lovely and sunny. This contrasted with my journey to pilates, before which I had to send Mike an sms asking if I needed to use the fog lights, and if so how....)

Worth mentioning, perhaps, that when Pete was in SpecSavers one Saturday morning for a standard eye test, they saw something they didn't like, got on to Bristol Eye Hospital, and got him in *immediately* for further investigation. I was well impressed (and scared shitless, of course!).

Also, lsat new glasses he had, they talked to him carefully about what problems he had been experiencing, and sold him some sort of "professional" glasses, meaning he only needs one pair instead of the three he was juggling.

That is impressive!
