Boots Opticians Canary Wharf

I was treated by Darshini Shah at Canary Wharf and she was fantastic. I was quickly put at ease, all the tests were explained to me prior to taking it and it was a very good experience.
Really helpful and useful with my first time use of contact lenses. Offered several types and came to an overall decision on the ones best for my eyes. Really helpful.
The pricing of glasses was a little clear and a bit of a shock at the counter. All staff were brilliant and clear, but this area I felt could have been made clearer.
The Optometrist was extremely thorough and explained every test and check. I didn't feel that she was giving me the hard sell so was relaxed and ready to listen to her recommendations.
The online appointment booking site / page seemed to have a few delay issues and / or wasn't clear when I was completing it. I had a try a couple / 3 times before successful. It was a bit frustrating.
The recommendation from the optometrist was not that clear .... occupational glasses .... never heard of them before. Is this bifocal? I think she also advised I needed long distance glasses i.e. 3 different prescriptions in total .... not completely sure. Anyway, I had another eye test a few weeks ago, from a different provider, & they recommended no change from what I currently have. I'm now not sure or confident if I really need any new glasses!
Overall, I felt this branch & the service provided was much more impersonal & conveyor belt like than my usual Boots Opticians in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. On this occasion, I thought I'd try somewhere local to where I work instead, however, I will be going back to Rickmansworth next time or, perhaps, the different provider (Specsavers).
