Vision Express UK

I often use these as a guide to where I buy stuff and when my spex broke and my own optician wouldn’t fit me in I was worried about my visit here. Things seem to have changed since the last review. They squeezed me in for my test, took a photo of my eyes to show they are healthy then made me some spex for only £ 29 and they were ready in an hour. This allowed me to carry on working/​driving which was a big help to me. I’ll definitely be going back when I get paid to get some designer spex. Thanks to everyone there for helping me out of a tight spot.

Vision Express is based in King St in south shields and has been in the town centre for a while now, it recently moved from the bottom of King St to the top of King St close to Woolworths.
The branch is small compared to the other branches it has in the north east, they offer eye tests both private and to NHS patients. The range of glasses they have in are ok but the prices of the lenses and frames for decent type of frame is far to expensive in my view.
The price you pay for one pair of glasses from there you can get 2 pairs of the same lenses and similar frames from elsewhere.
Again the staff try the hard sale push on you and try not to give you your prescription if u need glasses stopping u from going elsewhere to get them.
