Fantastic, professional service. I have a complicated prescription and after my last optician sadly passed away i was very nervous of finding a new optician. The eye test was very thorough and we spoke about many options for my eye problem. Cannot recommended highly enough. My entire family are now going to register with kings hill. Thanks guys for all your help.

Just wanted to say thankyou so much to all staff. My 11yr old son's eye was all of a sudden going inwards, this has never happened before and was very scary especially as we are both OCD. They see us as a Emergency Appointment straight away and spent 3 hours doing all tests to find out what the problem was. Once they diagnosed the problem they sorted glasses/lenses the next day for logan. Brilliant team to do what they done thankyou so much.x.

We took our 6 year old daughter for an eye test at Kings Hill Opticans today. The service, expertise, knowledge and kindness of the staff was outstanding. They picked up an eye condition we had no idea existed. I really would recommend this opticans to anyone, but especially if you have small children.

A much loved but accidentally broken pair of Lindberg glasses were sent to Denmark over the Christmas period for a quote to repair 'if at all possible'.I was expecting something quite costly in all honesty or even worse news that they were irreparable. Absolutely delighted to say they were returned today, repaired and done so free of charge. So grateful to Kings Hill Opticians and Lindberg.

Very honest, helpful and gave great advice. Wish I'd known about the level of care and service that makes Kings Hill stand out from other opticians. They spotted an issue my daughter has, that had been missed by everyone else. I get the impression that they are looking to build a long term relationship with their clients and have continuity of care so they really understand their needs.

I came to Kings Hill Opticians needing my first pair of glasses and having been quoted a exorbitant price by another opticians. The staff at Kings Hill Opticians considered my needs, carefully explained all my options and found the optimum solution for me- which saved me over 500 on my previous quote and arrived within a week. I felt like they had put my needs first. I'm thrilled with my new glasses and the excellent service I've received.
