Boots Opticians Billericay - High Street 2017-03-07 Person 3 5 0

Staff were friendly and helpful and the male Optician was very thorough and experienced. The lady who advised me on lenses spoke of the more expensive option, Zeiss lenses, which I ended up purchasing. I would have liked more info, on the Boots lenses, plus a price comparison; as I had stated I wanted to "keep the price down. I should have asked I realised. I got carried away 'in the moment.' My husband was not happy with me for overspending. I did phone to try and change my lenses, but the order had gone through. The lady did advise me, once ordered it couldn't be changed. It would be a good idea for staff to check with customer, "is this within your price budget" before the order is placed. The ladies were very helpful in helping me choose frames, so I would recommend this store, overall. I was given a discount of £54, when I phoned up, so was pleased about this. I would like to have a glass cleaning kit and an extra glasses case, as my glasses cost £486! Also, the Optician said my sight hadn't changed much, but suggested varifocals, as I said when reading, my eyes can be a bit blurry. Though overall, staff were very nice and helpful. In hindsight I think the Boots lenses would have been fine. Yet it will be nice to have a quality, bespoke pair of glasses. I am a little concerned I will get on with varifocals? ... after spending a large sum of money. So, hope any possible concerns could be viewed sympathetically? Also, this,was my first visit to Boots, Billericay. I went there as I had a voucher for a free eye test, upon purchasing frames & £20 off. Thank you.
