After having a bad experience in one of the big optician chains I was recommended to this company by a friend whos family had used them for years. I can see why, they are so friendly and helpful. They answer any questions you have in a way you can understand, and I would never go anywhere else. I can thoroughly recommend them.

The best Opticians experience I have ever had, by far. I've been wearing glasses since a teenager, and I have a strong prescription, so much so that I've always been told that I can't have nice, small glasses. I've lived 30 years with ugly thick & heavy frames, with milk-bottle-bottom lenses, or massive 70's style glasses that don't fit my small face. I went into Goatman & Batham one morning on the off-chance they could help me. They had an appointment that afternoon, and I have to say, it was marvellous. The optician had a great chat with me, explaining what they can offer that so many opticians in the past have not been able to. He also recommended a type of varifocal, since, like all of us, I'm constantly looking down at my phone. After trying on so many frames, we found a pair that fit my face perfectly, small, light & rounded, it was like they were made for me. I braced myself for the inevitable "computer says no" moment, where I'd be told I couldn't have them due to my prescription, but there was no problem at all! The lense manufacturers they use must be wizards, I tell you. I've just collected them after a 2 week wait, and honestly, I almost burst into tears of joy. A few adjustments (for my wonky ears!) and I was good to go. I really can't recommend them highly enough. If you've ever had to suffer from ugly glasses due to a strong prescription, they can work miracles.
