I visited the oxted store and was greeted by extremely helpful staff. I was made to feel at ease as soon as I walked through the door. Kerry was lovely. Really helpful . She helped select the right style of glasses for me. I would highly recommend this branch to family and friends. Thank you for all your help.

Now I remember why in 2020 I left Vision Express. Arrived on time for appointment but so far sitting in reception for 20 mins. Doesn't look like I'll be seen anytime soon. All the memories of previous poor service came flooding back. I decided to try again because I got a voucher / credit for an eye test. This isn't worth the excruciatingly bad service. I'm off. I'm not giving them a penny more of my money.

I had a very pleasant experience at Vision Express in BrenCross branch today. A very helpful gentleman by the name Hooman helped to fix my glasses. He didn’t even ask me, where I had purchased them, he was very polite, pleasant and very helpful. All VE staff are incredibly nice and helpful.

Absolutely awful, even 1 star is too much. Reglazed my frames with the highest specification lenses from these guys that cost close to £300. Within 6 months, the scratch proof coating had come off. Went back to them and they said there’s nothing they can do about it as it's not within their 100-day guarantee. This company used to be good but is now awful. Hiked-up prices - do yourself a favour and get lenses online - Vision Express will try and tell you online lenses will be low quality, but they are far better than the rubbish these guys sell!

I suggest find a different optician set up. I have had a very unhappy experience with Vision Express. I have been wearing progressive glasses for four years. I needed to replace them and had meanwhile shifted to Delhi. They charged less, using Indian glasses, which was OK to me. The technician did the eye power reading work. I ordered two spectacles. But when few days later I can I was very disturbed by the right eye being completely out of focus with blurred images. So I refused to pick them up. Then another technician repeated the eye check up and found a different reading. He seemed more knowledgeable than the lady who had checked the first time. Few days later I was told a senior technician would come from Manesar. So I went and the process was repeated. After that they took more than two weeks to receive the glasses and specs from Goa/Manesar. I collected them having taken the commitment. But the glasses are unsuitably set. I still prefer my older glasses but that frame is on its last legs. So I am stuck with these expensive glasses. My view is that Vision Express lacks technical ability, in assessing the eye powers, in making glasses in their factory in Goa and also in fitting them properly. These new glasses are off centre and not suitable for either computer work or reading or for the 5 to 10 feet distance usage. Perhaps I will find new frames for my old glasses. I am stuck. You may be lucky and I wish you good luck. There is no reason for you to be also stuck.

My glasses weren’t correct, and my eyes had difficulty focusing. I went back to tell them. They checked the glasses against their prescription, and told me they were correct. I said my left eye struggled to focus, and their answer was to say if I could see with both eyes at once, then that was ok! Cost me over £400 for lenses only. Go forward a year, and got my eyes checked at Asda, and given new glasses. Had to go back as I felt eye strain after 2 weeks. Was thoroughly checked again and previous glasses reviewed, to be told the alignment on the vision express glasses was totally out… worst she has seen, and my eyes had been permanently altered/ damaged as a result.

I arrived for my appointment with seconds to spare, this ws due to a traffic problem involving the police and a car chase....we all had to pull over and wait a while.....I really needed the toilet when I got there but they said no......so I had to go and find a toilet before I had my appointment making me even later.....so I was stressed....during the appointment I needed the toilet again...probably because I'd rushed it the first time and not properly emptied my bladder......at the final stage where I had to choose new specs I was unable to concentrate as I was getting desperate for the toilet.....the assistant told me to go over Starbucks...saying that's were she goes to the loo...I didn't go back to chose my new specs and I won't be going back either ....for goodness sake how can they refuse the use of the toilet....I was desperate....I've used that branch for 15 years.

Very bad service. We ordered lenses for the child. A month and a half has passed and there is still no news.

I bought a pair of Rayban branded frames, two years ago, with prescription lenses, cost about £400 plus. Had my eyes tested two weeks ago, but told no need to change glasses as my prescription had not changed. This week I broke the arm off one side, it just came apart at the join. Took them in and asked for a repair, but told that it was not possible, despite previously having been told that “We don’t offer repairs, you’ll have to buy a new pair of frames…” So, not very happy. I looked online and it seems a number of companies offer paid repaired for about £20. Vision express need to stop treating customers as a “ Revenue Stream” Very unhappy, and my wife and family won’t be buying our future glasses there.

What a horrible company! We had our eyes tests and I had my glasses done by them. The test was ok but getting the glasses was a nightmare. They tell you in person it'll take up to a week and that they'll send a message to let you know they're done. None of that happened and when you call them, they never pick up (at any time in the day). And when my partner managed to contact their Headoffice, spoke to someone called Paul who was very dismissive and didn't want to hear anything we had to say and then hang up the phone. And that was the Headoffice!! Shocking!! But I suppose that reflects the entire company. I regretted going to them and will avoid them in the future. My partner had the glasses done at Specsavers and has got them, while two weeks now and I'm still waiting.

This is the second time I have had the most horrible experience as a customer. in 2021 I came for first time to change my glasses and I got sold varifocal glasses, nearly 3 times more expensive that the standard glasses £315.50, and it was using my own frames. After 2-3 weeks I returned asking to change it as the varifocal make my vision tired as there is not focus on the both sides' vision. Now this Saturday 2nd september 2023 I came for test and glasses change again. There was a young lady that wasted my time for 3 hours as she forgot the password in the system, then changed the prices of the chosen frames twice she changed the price (writing with a pen) from £85 to £99 on the product’s tag, at the end I have accepted to go with one frame for £85 and the second one for £99. As she had problems in the system and could not complete my credit pass, then I accept to pay all the money for the first frame and eye test and the lady said that the price of the frame is £99. Off course I paid just the test and left the place. Very disappointed as Vision Express do not care about the client.

Torquay branch, staff were professional, friendly and very helpful. David Stoyles the optometrist I saw explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. Great service all round, I would highly recommend.

Dishonest and arrogant staff. I had an appointment of contact lenses on 10/08/2023 at 2:45 PM at Canary Wharf. When I booked the appointment, it said contact lens free assessment and trial. But doctor asked me to pay 35 pounds for an appointment and additionally the contact lens charge of what I buy. When I told him, while booking the appointment, it said free trial, he became rude and said we are not working for charity. When I told him I need to buy a particular contact lens, he said we have to place an order for the same and you have to book an appointment again where you will try the lens by paying 35 pounds and pay lens cost which you will buy. While leaving when I asked them where I can provide feedback, person at the reception asked for an email address and said sometimes link to provide feedback may not come. As they knew they were fooling around and trying to make money which they can put into their pocket, hence, they were anxious about the feedback.

Enfield town branch. I mentionrd that the vision was poor on the day that I picked up my glasses and was persuaded to persevere. Later noticed that the vision was very poor in left eye so went back to shop. Was informed by optician that this was because my cataract had suddenly worsened since my test and I would have to live with the problem. Went home and checked against my old pair to discover that I saw well out of the old glasses. Went back and got a refund
