Visited today and have to say was very shocked at the costs! 2 yrs ago I went and bought a pair of glasses which were very nice, but the most I have ever spent on one pair of glasses ( 750). I wanted keep my frames as they were still in good condition, they are Tiffany frames so I felt to replace after 2 years was wasteful. The eye test was finished and yes I needed a stronger prescription for reading and close work. To my shock it would cost me 50 to use MY frames and then 630 for the lenses, so only 70 less than my previous glasses and lenses, knowing my original frames were about 350-400. I am disappointed as I do like to support local where I can but feel there prices are extremely over the top, it left me wondering if my lenses are 630, how much would it have been to add the frames. When I asked for the prescription to take elsewhere, as I couldnt justify spending that much on lenses, I definitely felt a frosty response and clearly not happy with my reaction. Such a shame because to not have to go out of the village, supporting local is much more preferable to me.

Very pleased with my new glasses, they are doing exactly as I needed, if not more. Great service, staff were very nice and friendly would definitely recommend. Thank you very much.

There is a reason we should support local businesses, because you do not get the same level of customer services from the big boys! I have been using ASK since they first opened and there is no comparison to Boots or other chains. Always available, nothing is too much effort and they really care about your eyes and experience. Lovely people who really know how to look after you. Highly recommended.
