Bromptons Opticians

…and that one star is being generous!
I got a pair of glasses there a few years ago and the staff were lovely and customer service pretty amazing!
Fast forward a few years! The place has a new owner, the staff have changed and the word customer service is not known to them! I can’t help but wonder what happened to one of Brighton’s coolest and most friendly optician!
As you walk in the place still is designed well and they have some nice glasses but in today’s market — a few cool glasses is not going to get my business! I want to be abel to look around the shop without some assistant thinking I am going to thief!
I can relate tofellow reviewer Laurence O. review on here — CUSTOMER SERVICE STINKS! So with that I think he is spot on! Can I suggest if the owner is reading this — get your staff some training in today’s internet word!

I started wearing glasses when I was in Grade 5, but needed them when I was in Grade 3. I’m not entirely sure how I got by 2 years without being able to see, but I did it. I think I was afraid, because glasses were uncool. And I was a skinny kid with large buck teeth who wore polo shirts and suspenders to school. So that, combined with glasses, would only enhance the «easy dork to beat up» look I was rocking back then. When I finally got glasses, my fears were realized. They just looked amazingly horrific on my face. But glasses have now become stylish, and you can find some of the most stylish designs here at Bromptons. You’ll find your Ray-​Bans, your Bvulgari’s and other named brand designers. Just expect to pay a lot, though.

When you were at school it was definitely not cool to wear glasses. I knew at least three kids at primary with glasses and they were not popular, it sounds harsh but it was primary school. A place where you were afraid of differences in people especially girls and facial oddities. One boy, had glasses, was ginger and a little bit chunky (remember, this is under the umbrella of primary school mentality). At playtime once he took his glasses off one less than a minute and he ended up with shelled conker in his eye (the green things with spikes!), it was awful. Anyway it’s 2010 and we’ve grown up and glasses have been cool for a while now, even people who don’t need glasses wear them. None come cooler than the stylish range that can be found in Brompton’s. They have a whole host of sleek, defined and dynamic frames to choose from. Paul Frank, American Apparel, everybody’s doing it.
