Switched to Filey Opticians a couple of months ago, and got two new pairs of glasses, one is called "Occupational" and these are excellent for my computing work. The "Normal" ones are also very good, I've really benefited from the combination of the two, especially as I have had my cataracts replaced so focusing is difficult. Both pairs are varifocals and I'm extremely glad I went to Filey Opticians. They really make you feel looked after, and the end result is that I'm very pleased with my specs.

Filey Opticians is second to none , they sorted my prescription and lenses out when Specsavers made a total hash of the job.

Changing your optician is not quite as hard as changing your bank but it is close. I was finally messed around one too many time by my local Specsavers and decided to give Filey Opticians a go having heard good reports about them. I was not disappointed. From the initial phone I could see that this was going to be a different experience. They gave me an early appointment and confirmed my current prescription with Specsavers.
The eye exam was carried out by Sharon one of the owners; she was friendly and efficient and ran through my options clearly. I am certainly pleased I made the move; lenses have arrived now, all marked up and options noted.
