iansheff Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Has anyone used the opticians at Asda and would you recommend them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Presumably they are as well-qualified as any other opticians, but they don't have the overheads that independent opticians have to bear so they should be able to offer you a better deal (and probably make more profit than their competitors, too.) WalMart (the parent company) and Sam's Club (discount membership club retailer owned by WalMart) have offered optical services for years. There's nothing wrong with the service and their prices are highly competitive. Presumably if Asda are offering optical services, they are doing so because the parent company in the US makes a lot of money out of doing so and they hope the idea will catch on in the UK.

wornout53 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Both my partner and myself use ASDA opticians and have been extremely happy with them. I was referred to the Hallamshire by their optician because she saw some changes at the back of my eye..it turned out to be nothing to worry about but I had the reassurance that it had been properly investigated.

iansheff Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks, the reason I asked was because some people have said certain opticians do not do the same tests, so wanted to see what the feedback was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie824 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've used them and no, they don't do the same things as Specsavers, who I have also used. Am happy with the service I got from both places though, and often you can just grab an appointment at Asda when you go in for your shopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wornout53 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Just an update.....just got new glasses from the opticians at Asda Chaucer road and was very impressed. From eye test to call saying they were ready was 3 days and the optician was thorough and explained what he found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
