Boots Opticians London - Strand

Both the assistant and optometrist were completely delightful and attentive.
Booking an appointment took multiple efforts as the website was malfunctioning, especially when trying to establish/enter a password.
The staff on the day, however, were extremely friendly, helpful and gave excellent, clear advice for which I'm grateful.
Great service. Thanks
at other opticians, they have disposable paper on the chin and forehead rests for hygiene reasons. this should be mandatory for common public use! or at least wipe these places with hygiene wipes in between patients.
The service was great, the optometrist was very kind, really made my day. Although she wasn't able to check my Ortho-K contact lenses, she suggested specialized clinics that I could visit.
The only problem I have however is the price, and I'm not even the most price-sensitive of consumers. I suggest that you offer different packages for the eye tests, where simpler tests can be less costly. So for instance, I only wanted to check if my cornea was okay (my wearing Ortho-K lenses rendered vision tests superfluous), but had to undertake the full eye examination, with vision tests, peripheral vision, etc. etc. that I really didn't need.
Also, from the website I thought I could be NHS-funded (18 years old, full-time student), although I'm not a UK citizen but I'm part of NHS anyway...? I would have liked a better explanation of this, instead of getting my concerns dismissed.
