Our customers say it best...

The service was very friendly and I felt comfortable asking questions. I did not feel rushed and when I selected glasses, my needs were listened to. Excellent service.

Staff are friendly and helpful, the optician explained all stages during the eye test which was helpful and interesting.

Excellent opticians, have used them for years and am very satisfied. Both Heidi and the current optician are absolutely great at taking great care of their customers, I would recommend them for everyone, whatever your needs.

Sara M

Every other optician wouldn't countenance helping me in my desperate situation but Newbolds couldn't have been more helpful. And they didn't charge me. They just did it for the good karma that will surely come their way very soon.
