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....)

Mine are also varifocals correcting for astigmatism and in addition I have two different prescriptions of contact lenses, each offering a different compromise for my increasingly crappy vision. Steve and I have both always gone to Eyesite, but they only seem to have 4 branches, not near you, so not much help, sorry.

My mother does that - she wears one of each kind of contact, so one eye is long- and the other short-corrected!
