Enjoyed excellent advice and service from both Alison and the Optician. Respectacle deserve some respect from those of us who wear glasses! Their range of frames rivals any that you wistfully see abroad but can never get over here, it's great to have plenty of stylish choices. Love my glasses, the whole experience was a pleasure. Thank you!
