Report
I went to get my eyes tested at Ramsden opticians a coup;e of weeks ago and wanted to comment about how good a service i got. The optician (Orla) was very thorough. I have been to Specsavers and other independent opticians before but not had a great experience. Orla seemed to go through everything, and was very professional. She also made me really comfortable. The reception staff were also great, and there was an excellent choice of frames and at reasonable prices. I got some Ray Ban sunglasses too which were on offer.
