Eye Test & fitting New Glasses

Overall experience for my eye test and fitting very good, By Alex, Rowan, Hammad and Jackuelyn. From the moment I arrived I could see that the Canterbury Branch was run in a professional and calm manner, this was reflected in test & the fittings. The experience in collecting my new glasses was the same, so much so that I ordered a second pair of sun glasses at Half Price which was a bonus. I would recommend this branch to anyone.

Second time I have used M&S Opticians…

Second time I have used M&S Opticians at Castlepointin Bournemouth . Went just as well as the first time. All the staff were friendly and professional which made the whole experience much more relaxing and stress free.
When it came to choosing frames found Albi particularly helpful as I was shown a wide choice of frames in different price ranges and didn't feel pressured into buying more expensive frames than I wanted. Ì felt I received good considered advice for each choice I considered. Glasses also arrived much quicker than expected so very happy overall and would recommend.

Hit and miss

Felt like a valued customer and a premium experience up to collection. Unfortunately the fit still isn't right after 2 further visits.i was considering a pair of sunglasses but after 5 weeks,stock still isn't available to try on,and prescription lense pricing is conveniently underrepresented in the promotional materials

Outstanding customer experiance

I moved to M&S for my eye check as my previous optician was awful. My eye checks were carried out by Naomi & Megan who were both lovely. I was able to pick out frame i liked and Naomi and her collegue helped out to pick the best ones for me without any sort of pressure. The whole experiance from start to finish was just so relaxed and every memeber of staff was friendly and helpful and really went above and beyond ensuring i felt welcome

I think M and S opticians are a first rate company

I think M and S opticians have a terrific display of glasses to choose from and everyone who helped me choose just the right pair was extremely kind and helpful. I thought the optometrist was very thorough.

Professional and helpful

The staff were friendly and listened to my requirement, and helped me to find the best solution for my new glasses. Rather than tyring to sell me glasses, they are professional and that's why I keep going back to them to look after me. Thank you and appreciate that.

Nice shopping experience

Good selection and price range frames. Left alone to browse without pushy assistants intervening, but were very helpful when asked. Range of lenses too to suit most budgets.

Whole experience from 1st to last appointment 5* service

Booked appointment on line at time and date to suit me. At appointment I was greeted by the staff warmly and asked to sit and less than 5 mins I was having my eye test. Extremely comprehensive and thorough, I rate the exam as one of the best, as it included options I usually had to pay for at other opticians. Prescription given in a nice envelope. Great selection of glasses to choose from and a good price range too. Received text to collect , fitted and left the whole experience from start to finish a very happy customer. Bought two pairs of glasses, great value

The general experience with Mrs Rakhee

The general experience with Mrs Rakhee, Optometrist who assisted me for my Eyes Examination on 20/03/2026 from M&S OPTICIANS in Eden Center High Wycombe is consistently of the highest standard. Also Ms Lia and Ms Stephanie are of extreme value and their positive contribution to customers Services is immeasurable.

Excellent experience

Found Marks and spenders Plymouth Store excellent place to have my eyes tested and added bonus of having free eye scan charged for at a lot of other opticians. Everyone was very friendly from the optician who tested my eyes to the assistant Lynsey who helped me choose my glasses who was very helpful and knowlegeable.

Good but not excellent

It took 4 attempts to get the lenses accurate to my prescription. Although they were courteous and obliging, at double the price of Specsavers, they seem not quite on the pace.
