Amazing service and very cool selection of frames. I love all the vintage frames and sunglasses. Much better service there than the big shops, feels really personal and they really took their time. I felt really looked after and confident I’d had top-class experts looking into my eyes. Great.

Have had excellent care for many years, staff friendly and efficient and I have never been pressured into buying more expensive glasses than I need.

Good afternoon,

I have just attended an appointment to do with flashes and floaters and just wanted to provide feedback, as I think it’s important to.

I want to say how impressed I am with the clinic and all the staff. I have spent a lot of time at opticians and in optical environments over the years (both working and as a patient) and I must say that Arbuthnot’s really stands out above the rest.

All staff I encountered and observed today seem both professional and knowledgeable as well as friendly and approachable. I would particularly like to thank Grant (I think?), whose warm approach put my mind at rest. I would also like to point out that he has a knack of explaining things in a clear but not patronising way that doesn’t happen often enough with optoms (in my experience)!

I will certainly be coming back when my next check up is due and prompting (alright – nagging!) my husband to do the same.

Thank you very much and see you soon!

Exceptionally high quality of service from knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, professional staff and a superb range of high quality eye wear. I cannot fault this opticians. I recently purchased a pair of Oakley Frogskins RX prescription spectacles from them and they are possibly the finest spectacles I have ever owned. The quality if workmanship is second to none.
