After a horrendous night of being near blinded by LED headlights with high dazzle coming off a wet road I decided enough was enough and consulted Caroline at Scotts taking with my (cheap) night driving glasses that I had bought on line. She assessed them and after reviewing my contact lens prescription she was able to provide me with optical level night glasses with yellow lenses at a price I found reasonable. I can now see a lot better at night and I am no longer dazzled. I can drive safer - thank you all at Scotts.

As a long-standing customer I cannot speak more highly of this practice. Recently changed my glasses receiving superb care and attention from Sophie and also Andrew. They really are first class. Mr Thompson, my optician for testing is also superb in the way he helps you. This is a truly customer focussed business which really does care for and appreciate its clients. Thank you all, Kim

I cannot recommend Scott's enough! I recently had an eye test in Bury St Eds and the whole team were so friendly. Mr Gilbey was extremely patient and thorough during my test which really put me at ease. After receiving my prescription I went to 4 other opticians in town to look at frames and was really disappointed with the service I received in all 4 shops. I went back to Scott's and Sophie was SO helpful when it came to choosing a frame that suited me - she was so friendly, patient and honest - wasn't pushy at all and was really genuine, and this continued right through to me having my glasses fitted (which was only a week turnaround!) The whole team came across like one big family and were so welcoming from the moment I walked in. I really wouldn't recommend anywhere else. Thanks guys 💜

Thank you, once again for your superb service. A special thanks to Debbie, who patiently assisted me in choosing a new pair of glasses with all the right specifications for my needs. Fabulous staff, and good choice of eyewear.

I'm really grateful to the staff for persisting with a difficult repair of my father's glasses. Friendly, proactive, helpful, they really are the epitome of excellent customer service.
