Dollond & Aitchison

This is a very small-​scale branch of the high street opticians with efficient and courteous staff who listen well and are attentive to customers needs. My eye tests have always taken place punctually, with consideration and attention to detail.
Given the size of the premises it might feel a little claustrophobic for some. Display area limitations mean you won’t find the extent of choice, when you’re looking for new frames, that you’ll find in larger stores. Although they do stock some fairly funky frames here, that aren’t too outrageously priced, the cost of the lenses, you’ll need, are pretty steep. It’s worth looking at their website, before your visit, for money-​saving vouchers offering a discount on specs and a free sight test.
