Why this onslaught against Boots Opticians?
I have used them for the last four years with no problems.
Last year when I remarked to the optician that when I looked at my Venetian Blinds I saw a squiggle through my left eye I was diagnosed with wet, age related macular degeneration and seen at the local eye clinic two days later. She probably saved most of the sight in that eye.
Three pairs of glasses for less than £100.
The two years before that I went to Doland and Atchinson later taken over by Boots. No problems with the prescription but one pair of glasses exploded while I was on the way to Cambridge up the M11. Quite scary!
The year before that I went to an independent. Nice guy but he didn't fit the glasses before I left. When I got home and tried them on it was just a blur.
Some people who train to be opticians get a first; others get a 2.1 or a 2.2 or even a 3rd.
I think they are pretty evenly distributed across the companies are dentists or plumbers eg.
