Although Mackeys may not be the only opticians in the area it is probably the biggest, most obvious and closest to me. For me, being somewhat contrary and choosy, big and obvious isn’t usually my first choice but this time the task on hand was to arrange for my daughter to get contact lenses ASAP and going to Mackeys seemed to be the easiest way of getting the job done. In the event an appointment was arranged quite quickly, almost within a week. This was commendable because I often find that that getting an appointment with an optician can involve a long wait. As it turned out the lenses were fitted easily without any fuss. A pair of contact lenses was provided on trial to see if they were suitable and once that was ok everything was quickly sorted out. Since then I’ve been a perfectly satisfied customer of Mackeys. I haven’t used them for getting glasses yet but they seem to have a good a range as anywhere so I wouldn’t hesitate to do so if the need arises.
