West Bridgford branch - Amy was perfect. After repetitive nagging from Boots and VE for an eye test I opted for a local... independent, explaining i needed 1) glasses adjusted 2) another pair with replacement lenses and ) 3) sunglasses lenses in a third pair of frames. And NOT an eye test. Amy got on with 1 and 2 while i waited and 3 within 2 weeks, as they had to be sent off to HQ. Friendly, sincere, professional - will return.read more

Great personal service from Johns Opticians. Both my mum and I had our eyes tested there recently which was very... thorough. Even had photos taken of the inside of our eyes so that the Optician could show us how healthy our eyes are. Really interesting having that explained to us and what we need to be aware of such as signs of blood pressure. Both mum and I bought varifocal glasses which are a much higher quality than your mass produced cheaper Opticians. I’ve had the cheaper varifocals before and ended up never wearing them due to the narrow channel of vision and distortion at the edge of the lenses. Johns Opticians are a bit more expensive but what you get is much better quality. The channel of vision is so wide that there is barely any distortion at the edge of the lens. You can even reuse an old pair of frames if you want to keep the cost down. Both mum and I are really happy with our new specs and would highly recommend Johns Opticians..read more

Fantastic service, the glasses I got have been brilliant and lasted well. Been to the big chains before and felt like... a number where as here it was 1on1 personal service and actually felt like they listened and cared. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.read more

We have been going as a family since Usman took over the practice and have continued since. It is a really friendly... opticians. It is an independent optican and provides that one to one service. It is a really pleasant opticians. Usman and his staff are professional and treat you like family. Yet approachable, Informative and knowledgeable about what glasses will suit you and your overall eye sight/health and eye care. I would recommend him to everyone and say if you want a personal, but professional, non-sales, holistic eye care then johns opticians is for you!read more

Been getting my glasses here since I first needed them 14 years ago. Usual first class thorough and pleasant service... but I was surprised at the cost of my varifocals which seems to have gone up a lot. Maybe I'm just out of touch with current costs I don't know! Great service but perhaps some cheaper options for those of us who prefer functionality to style?read more

Have gone to Johns Opticians for years. Always get a thorough eye test and good advise. Amy ,the receptionist, was very... helpful and very patient with me as it always takes me ages to choose new glasses. Once chosen, my new glasses were ready for collection very quickly. I just wish there was a little more choice of mid priced frames.read more

Always get a very thorough examination. T The optician seems very knowledgeable and things are clearly and simply... explained. Always time for questions. I always leave feeling I am being properly cared for and looked after, been a customer for many years now. Maybe a little more expensive than the chains, but definitely worth it to know to know you're being cared for properly.read more
