Moved to Campbell eye care as bad experience with another opticians and I wish I had moved here sooner!
Couldn’t fault the alness branch, so friendly and MR Kiani is amazing. I felt so comfortable and my eyes were checked thoroughly. He listens to anything you’re concerned about and explains things very well.
Cant recommend enough!

CAMBELLS TAIN the staff and professional care shown are excellent. On time, professional and polite, I cannot fault the service received and the people a pleasure to deal with.
CARRERA GLASSES the glasses themselves a different matter entirely. Not only were they very expensive, they fell to bits and had to be persuaded to hold together with glue. Needed them replaced after damage (my fault). After waiting weeks, the new pair are the wrong colour and also dismantled themselves, needing glue-fixing from Campbells staff. Really NOT worth the price!

I once had to have an eye test under the doctors orders. The waiting time for the test was very short! The receptionists and assistants were very helpful and polite, and the test itself was very thorough and interesting. The whole experience was very easy going.

Highly professional, friendly and attentive staff that actually listen. The folk at Tain provided me with a range of options and advice. After I’d made my choice, the spectacles were prepared and delivered very quickly and without issues. I have no reservations about recommending their excellent services.
