The best optician I know. Very knowledgeable and up to date. I tried other opticians they got my prescription wrong where as Bansal Opticians got it to the dot. The staff are very pleasant and helpful and I always get excellent service. Thank you.

I used to come to this optitons as it was the nearest to home. They used to charge a bomb for my mums glasses and even for a eye check. Since weve found specsavers I cant even begin to tell everyone especially the Asians that its the best place to go for an eye check as its free and the glasses are not expensive at all. I remember my mum nearly paid 200 plus pounds for her glasses at this place and when we went to specsavers we spent 50 pounds on 2 pair of glasses as it was buy one get one free and the eye test was free. Dont go to these Asian place a to get your glasses

From my most recent visit at the opticians, I am 100% certain that I will not be visiting again. As I was required to pay for my glasses anyway, and the fact that I didn't like the quality of Bansal Opticians' frames, I had decided to buy glasses from elsewhere. When the doctor realised this, he spoke to me in a rude manner during my eye test as well as after wards in front of my mother. I would not recommend going here as it seems that the surgery is only concerned with making money rather than customer satisfaction.
