Optitians - All the same?

Specsavers now have an included extra test which photograph's the inside of your eyeball

Most opticians are competent with eye tests but what is important is not to put off having one.

Boots do that, too. Can't remember why.

I got my laser done at Optical Express but prior to it I went to a few different places and found Vision Express the best for me.

I actually quite like eye tests. I'm really, really bad at going to the dentists though

A lot of neurological problems or even common problems like diabetes can be identified by a competent optician. Obviously, probably not the ones you'd find working at Boots but if you go see an optometrist at the hospital or a private clinic.

Actually places like Boots are frequently better equipped than independent chains.

It can show up diabetes & high blood pressure plus a few other nasties, some opticians charge £20 extra for this test

Vision Express ive found offer both excellent service and brilliant glasses,there glasses are a little more expensive than most opticians,but they are of high quality.

There eye tests are also a lot more extensive than other opticians ive visited in the past

Maybe that's your opinion. I had a problem with my eyes which for weeks Boots couldn't identify what was wrong with it. When I went to see a private doctor as I got generally worried for my eye care, he spotted the problem in less then 5 minutes.

Specsavers and Optical Express have been fine for me. My local independent places are heiniously expensive in comparison (for eye tests and glasses) and have that 'knows best' superiority attitude that really gets my back up. I'd love to choose my local trade over a chain, but they don't help themselves.

I work in specsavers in Ipswich.

Our store is massive and all of our optoms are really fun.

I remember when i first went there a lady called Ionna gave me a sight test lmao thats how i initialy ended up going for the job she pointed me in the right direction..
Amazing woman.

Go to a specsavers branch usualy there good it depends though as every one is different.

The store directors alll have different ways of running there stores being a franchise n all but in general every one i have been to the service from the optoms is always good.

Dunno about yours, but my local SSavers always has a ton of staff on duty too.

 

[Allnamestaken]

Our savers has around 100 staff. Its huge.

Our lab covers 2 stores its a good place to work.

It's opticians, not optitians. I have nothing further to contribute.
