Does anyone recommend (or un-recommend) their local optician? Thanks!

Spec saver rye lane really is very thorough, accessible and good. Also free.

Payne and Hunter for local.

Specsavers are very good professionally speaking, but I find their admin systems so confused and unwieldy I often have to go elsewhere, reluctantly.

Another strong recommendation for Paine and Hunter. Every few years, when I need new specs, I hunt all over London but return to them and find the perfect pair. Friendly and v knowledgeable staff too.

I go to the Institute of Optometry (between Elephant and Borough) for my prescriptions (glasses and contact lenses).

This is a shortish bus ride away. I've been going there for years and am very happy with them.

I get my contact lenses online and last time went to Asda on the Isle of Dogs to get my glasses prescription made up (varifocals). Cheaper than Specsavers and very efficient.

Been going to Paine and Hunter for years and so get my vote.

I'd also endorse Paine & Hunter - they have had the same skilled optometrists and technicians for years, which offers real continuity of care. Changes in the eye can be a valuable diagnostic tool for issues other than just those eye/ vision related - care continuity can be of real value here.

I too would 100% recommend Paine and Hunter in Lordship Lane. My family and I have been going regularly for years and the staff are knowledgeable and so friendly.
