Reviews of OutsideClinic - Home Eye Tests and Hearing Tests
m.
Excellent service. The optician who attended my 88 year old mum was very friendly and quickly put my mum at ease. He gave a very indepth eye test and was very knowledgeable, especially about Macular Degeneration which my mum has. There was a great selection of frames to choose from. Overall a great service that we will use again for my mum.
G. R.
Excellent service, really impressed!!
My mother has communication issues and the optician treated her with respect and kindness. I was amazed at how she was able to adapt the service to suit my Mum's needs. I would highly recommend.
R. S.
I organised a home eye test for my mother-in-law, who is 96 and housebound. It's a brilliant service. Contact with people in the office on the phone was easy: they communicated day and time of appointment promptly and clearly. I was contacted again on the day when the optician was on his way to confirm the exact time. The optician himself, Steve, was very professional, but also a simply delightful man who could not have been more helpful. He did over and above what was expected: my mother-in-law had every confidence in him and was very happy with everything. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend The Outside Clinic. Thank you.

The optician was friendly, and professional. She explained everything well to me. She went out of her way to carry heavy equipment up to my room, and checked the room was big enough.
G. M.
Very professional. Patient and extremely efficient. Would recommend to all house bound and inform struggling to get to an optician.
P. P.
My mum suffers with dementia and diabetes, the optician was polite and careful when treating mum.
The whole experience was one I can recommend for people who need home visits.
J. M.
My 94 year old mother who has age related macular degeneration was delighted with the service provided. Stephen was very helpful and considerate and while a previous optician had said there was nothing they could do, he was able to provide her with reading glasses at the distance she needed and it made a vast difference and she will hopefully be able to read again much more easily when the glasses arrive. A brilliant service, much appreciated.
J. s.
Service was excellent from start to finish. Great comms around arranging my mums appointment and the lady who came out to do the eye test was really good. Very professional and very nice with my elderly mum.
Ordered 2 pairs and they were delivered promptly. Will definitely use them again.
s. g.
This was the first time we have used this service and were pleasantly surprised . The optician was very friendly and professional and very thorough. Because of my mother's mobility issues, this is the perfect service for her. Plus they gave her a guarantee, so should her glasses break or need adjusting they will make a home visit again. Will definately use the service again.
C. J.
The optometrist was very patient with my very aged mother and was very clear in his results and advice.
M. F.
The visit with the outside clinic was a very professional one. Our elderly friend of 93 years was treated with the utmost curtesy at all times. At the end of the procedures she was very satisfied with the results which were explained carefully and in no way patronising. The glasses were very suitable and she was happy with the outcome. We now await the glasses ordered.
S. W.
I was very impressed with the service we received. Mum lives alone at a great distance from me. She has dementia and I was worried about a stranger going into her home. Mum enjoyed the visit and was impressed with the fact that everything was explained to her in a way that she could understand. They were obviously trained to look after people with dementia. I would recommend the Outside Clinic.
S. A.
Being housebound now, my optician told me about the Outside Clinic. I didn't have to wait too long for my appointment. Perfect, test done in the comfortof my own living room. Very professional, and friendly. I'm now waiting for my glasses, new lenses going into existing frame, also some eyedrops for my dry and itchy eyes. I recommend this service.
P. K.
The service that my mum received was execellent, the optician was very patient and helpful with my mum, who has memory loss, he explained to me that mum has cateracts and how they can help with that, to sign up to their plan, (which is only £25, so well worth it) so that when the cateracts are removed, we can get new lenses without having to pay yet again. He explained clearly what i needed to do, and that for my mum, plastic glasses would be better, so that the lenses can be changed without having to get new frames again. He explained what we need to do when we hear from the hospital regarding the cateracts. He couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and kind. Excellent service, would truly recommend
T. F.
The optician was a young lady who appeared highly trained and knowledgeable.
She was courteous and respectful throughout the appointment and the Company was also helpful and amenable.
When I receive my new specs, I will be in a position to give a full review, but so far, so good!
H. d. B.
I was very happy with the optician’s service at home. He was pleasant, put me at ease and made choosing the frames straightforward. The glasses were posted to me, carefully packaged. And I was reassured that any adjustments are part of the service, given that the glasses were sent to my home rather than brought to me by optician. Would use the service again.
c. O.
Excellent service. The optician attended our residence with utmost respect. This was for my 83 year old father, who struggles to leave the property due to having a disability. The optician was diligent, professional, and clearly explained the process, and diagnosis. Highly recommended
J. B.
Had a wonderful lady optometrist call to my home. She was very friendly,knowledgeable and helpful. After a thorough eye examination I was helped to choose glasses that were suitable for my needs. Everything was explained thoroughly and I was really happy with everything.
J. M.
This service was absolutely perfect for my 88 year old mother who does have some mobility issues. My mother received a full optical test and was able to choose new glasses from the comfort of her own home.
Everything was discussed and explained in a lovely professional manner.
Needless to say she was delighted as this was the first time she had experienced this process.
E. G.
Very impressed with this service. Daniel the optician called prior to testing my elderly mother and brother. I was unable to attend so he kept me informed as to how their tests went. 4 days later had a call from the service to let me know their glasses would be sent out this week- very prompt will definitely use again.
s. f.
I was contacted at short notice offering an earlier appointment than expected. The gentleman, who I took to be an opthamlmologist was entirely professional curteous and mindful of my disabilities. Qith some understanding of his profession I was and am convinced that it was a very thorough professional and interaxtive examination which I am delighted to say resulted in a pair of glasses that have made s difference to my ability to read.
Thank you for this excellent service which is not available for a wheellchair user in Northfield Birmingham

I found the optician very helpful and courteous. He tested my eyes thoroughly and professionally whilst adhering to the recommended covid safety procedures. I was unable to get to a optician in the town, due to health problems and visiting me at home helped tremendously. I would certainly recommend the Outside Clinic and will be using them in the future.
j. l.
Reasonably satisfied..efficient and polite though an introduction using names would have been welcomed and for communicating with someone of 80 with memory issues a slower pace of explanation was needed. ( I was there to recap slowly) So it's not the medical side but the social communicating that was weaker. Overall the optician was professional and pleasant.
M. H.
I will not be using this service again. The woman doing the eyetest was lovely and friendly. The eyetest itself was fine. The problem came when selecting frames. There is no online service for looking at frames. The frames I had to select from were kept in a backpack essentially. They weren't especially clean, many were damaged with missing lenses and nose pieces and the selection itself was extemely limited. Had I been thinking I would have just gotten the prescription and gotten the glasses made up somewhere else.
C. L.
Very good experience with Outside Clinic. The optician was very pleasant and put us at ease. He was very professional. We were surprised that he could do all the tests at our home that are usually done in an opticians in the high street. Nice range of glasses to choose from and also eye drops, wipes, magnifiers etc. Communication for arranging appointments very good as was time keeping. Very pleased with the service given.
L. M.
The visit to my home to conduct an eye test was coducted very professionally cupled with commendable courtesy. I was left with the feeling that my problems were treated with great sympathy and as I am registered disabled words will never adequately convey my appreciation of your service more especially Mrs. Charlotte Whitelock
A. G.
First experience for my husband very good glasses arrived Saturday he is very pleased. To anybody who finds trip to opticians impossible don’t hesitate it works really well. Many thanks for this excellent service.
K. S.
I booked the Outside Clinic for my father, whose mobility isn't too good. He was really pleased with the service, especially as it was at home and looking forward to his new glasses
C. J.
Jason called me before my appointment to let me know he is going to be early, which I was very happy with..came to my home, wearing a mask and gloves..put me at ease immediately. Went through the whole process, and at the end of my eye test, we discussed the options available along with the insurance..Explained how I could pay, and when. How long the process would be and how i would receive my glasses. Highly recommend and will use again
Thank you.

My parents are 89 and 90 and have various medical problems so it was great having visits from the outside home eye and hearing tests. Huoman was particularly good with my parents - friendly and understanding. My parents really liked him. It was a good experience - couldn't fault either department.
J. S.
The OutsideClinic is fantastic. I booked an eye test for my dad who is disabled. I was also able to book an eye test for another person at the same address so I requested an eye test for my mum.
The optometrist, Rachel, was very professional, thorough and patient. I was so pleased that my mum was able to get her eyes tested at home as she struggles to get out due to my dad’s care needs.
I booked a hearing test for my dad last year and the service was also of a very high standard. The audiologist, Faisal, was very thorough and professional.
The additional information, aftercare and advice given at the end of each visit was also very useful.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the the Contact Centre/Administration team, who are very efficient and dedicated to their role. The communication is excellent, they keep you informed and updated at all times.
I would highly recommend the OutsideClinic to anyone with mobility issues, who would benefit from a home visit. The service and patient care is second to none and the staff are so friendly. Thank you so much.
P. H.
Lovely kind lady visited my housebound mum. She was very understanding and nothing was too much trouble for her - was great with the advice and explaining the full procedure to mum. Highly recommended. Will definitely be using the service again.
J. G.
Helen arrived on time and was very professional in every aspect of the service. She was informative, knowledgeable and helpful without being over complicating about the technical side of things. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed and I’d definitely recommend her for anyone else who has trouble getting to a high street optician. 👍🏼👍🏼
G. M.
The lady who visited my 95-year-old father was superb. She dealt with him very patiently despite his hearing and memory issues, took time to understand his needs and explaining in layman's terms; it also helped no end that she reinforced things we've been telling him for some time about when he should and shouldn't wear his glasses. I was also impressed that she called ahead of the appointment so we could chat about what had gone on previously re cataract operations etc. Highly recommended
M. a. D. B.
Optician was excellent carrying out my eye examination in a professional and skilled manner.
Specs arrived a few days after eye test and were exactly what I wanted
Will use them again no waiting in a crowded shop with staff who are rushed of their feet most of the time
m. d.
I felt very comfortable with having my eyes tested at home
it was explained to me step by step so I knew what to expect. We all wore masks and I had a window open at all times. The young man was very professional and polite, I would highly recommend, if you can't get out to your opticians a home test is as thorough. Thank you.
e. C. E.
Very professional service and the lady who visited my Mother was very good. Prices were a little higher than we hoped for, but she explained that my Mums lenses are quite complex. Very pleasant experience and only reason I haven't given 5 stars is the £25 insurance cover was automatically added and although the lady mentioned this during her visit, I don't recall actually saying that we wanted it. It wasn't until I reviewed the receipt later that I noticed it had been added on. Other than that, very good service.
Update:
Very dissapointed with the method of delivering the glasses. Considering the high value of the glasses, I would have expected these to be delivered by courier or even by one of the opticians. However, after a week of waiting since they were posted out, have now been told they are still with royal mail. Not happy!
J.
The optician that came to visit my elderly, disabled mum was excellent. He found some issues with my mums vision and immediately referred her to the hospital, whilst reassuring her so that she did not panic. All the equipment was disable friendly. I would highly recommend them.
L. M.
After a previous poor experience from another company with a home eye test for my Granddad, this was excellent. Hannah was very patient and took things at his pace. Very happy with the service.
S. W.
Excellent service, my mum who is 99 & housebound was able to have her eyes tested in the comfort of her own home. The lady who came was so thorough, kind & patient. Very impressed with this service. Thank you, I would recommend.
G. J.
My wife Angela had the test this is her assessment of the experience. I found the whole experience of the eye test very positive I was more relaxed.
Also your optician Miss Randhawa was very efficient and patient. I was impressed by the skill and efficiency and would recommend it to others
L. B.
This was for my 91yr old mum.
She was put at ease and even though she isn't too easy to comply, the optometrist was extremely patient and professional.
An excellent service. Thank you
S. Y.
A lovely gentleman called Rob came to my elderly father's house to carry out an eye examination. He was very patient and respectful with my Dad. He helped guide him with choosing new glasses, without making him feel at any point, pressured into making a purchase. The communication with Outside Clinic has been excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
M. J.
The Optomotrist was good but I was very disappointed that the service was advertised as a Specsavers home visit facility. We have used Specsavers for many years as their aftercare is exemplary. Now, I had to pay over £200 for spectacles which would cost half that amount in the shop.
However, needs must, as we can’t get there now so this service was appreciated.
M. M.
Mr Inglis was very happy & pleased with the home service which was a first for him.
The optician was pleasant, polite & professional, giving information & advice when needed.
d. p.
Fantastic service, Harjaap couldn't of been more helpful, we felt he went above and beyond to accommodate my disabled wife, he tailored the eye exam to her and nothing was too much trouble. He wasn't pushy nor did he try and oversell, being pensioners a lot of people try to take advantage and after a bad experience with a different company this was a concern of ours, but not anymore will definitely be rebooking for my own eye tests in the future as well as my wife's when she is due for her next sight test.
R. F.
Excellent service. The appointment was conducted within two weeks of my initial approach to your company. The optician did an exhaustive inspection of my eyes which is precisely what I wanted and the remainder of our business was concluded efficiently, speedily and very pleasantly
A. S.
Was pleasantly surprised about the whole service which was offered to me . I couldn’t believe how much equipment was available that was used in my eye test examination. There were no problems from having the eye test to choosing and purchasing my glasses . I’m now awaiting the delivery of my spectacles, I would definitely advise people to use this service if it is offered to them , as it saves so much time normally having to plan going out to the optician .
L. L.
I cannot fault this company...excellent customer service and patientin information ormation, lovely staff, the appointment was carried out in a very professional and comfortable manner and I'm very pleased with my new glasses which arrived very quickly. I don't think I'll be going back to the high street! Fantastic value and experience, thank you.
j. c.
My experience with the Outside Clinic was a very comfortable one, I've always hated going to the optician and I found this the answer to my prayers. The whole examination was much easier at home and Kaseem was very good at his job, really friendly and very helpful and considerate. I would recommend it to anyone.
C. S.
I was very impressed by the service of both the home eye test and the home hearing test. The people that came to carry out these tests were very friendly and helpful, even after they had had to lug their equipment to my first floor flat. I now have a problem with the high tech hearing aids that I have bought because when I took off my mask, after the audiologist had left, it pulled the hearing aids from my ears and ever since, it is like living with a flock of noisy birds in my ears. I have reported this problem to the Outside Clinic and I am waiting for a new appointment. We shall see how quickly they resolve my probleem.
s. g.
My mum had her eye test done it was very organised, with all modern equipment, and the gentleman put us at ease. It was a better experience than going to optician, would recommend it to anyone who cannot get out
r. F.
We used Outside Clinic to have a home eye test and our experience was very good . The optician has very good inter person skills which created a friendly atmosphere which in return relaxed my disabled wife .
The eye test was carried out quickly, efficiently and professionals .
I would recommend to family and friends.
J. M.
Optician kept in touch to advise of arrival time.
She was very polite and pleasant. Also extremely thorough in taking Mum’s history and in her examination and explanation. Prescription hadn’t changed and her glasses in good condition, so we didn’t have to consider new ones but she was offered a magnifier with a light which she bought.
The whole experience in the comfort of her own home and relaxed environment was so much better than organising a trip to local Optician with uncertainty of Mums health on the day or the weather. We will definitely be using OutsideClinic again.
D. C.
He was very friendly and professional. Did all eye tests which you need. Did not try and sell me glasses as my old ones were still ok for me, other companies sell you glasses even if you do not need new ones
P. B.
My 96 year old husband had an eye test at home and we found the optometrist to be professional but friendly and very efficient. She brought all the necessary equipment with her and my husband felt he'd received better service than he'd had at high street opticians.
He would not hesitate to have the same experience in future.
J. W.
I was very impressed with the eye test, it was just as good as going to a high street opticians. The optician was excellent and very helpful. I was also pleased with the choice of frames and I look forward to receiving my new glasses in a few weeks time.
L.
Needed to arrange an eye test at home for my Mum. A little wary as to who to approach, but settled on Outside Clinic largely because of its nhs 'partnership' link. Very easy to get things started through the website, then a friendly, helpful follow-up call resulted in Alex's appointment at my Mum's home. All very thorough and efficient. The eye test was free and the resulting discussion about lenses and frames was conducted in a very helpful and knowledgeable manner without any feeling of pressure - it felt like Alex was genuinely interested in sorting out what would be best for my Mum. Would certainly recommend them as a home visit optician service.
S. B.
I booked the Outside Clinic for my Mum's eye test as she is unable to go outside. Kiran came along and she was brilliant: polite, pleasant and thorough. Would definitely recommend!
J. C.
I was a bit nervous about the thought of having my eyes tested at home, but due to a recent illness had no choice. I needn't have worried! Edwin was extremely professional and kind. He explained everything thoroughly, was very reassuring and took time to ensure I was comfortable with all aspects of the procedure. Would recommend the experience highly.
B. C.
OutsideClinic Home Eye Test service were carried out pleasantly with care., and courteousness.
The service received from filling in the forms was given with great knowledge and helpfulness.
I would definitely recommend to all my family and friends. Thank You.
D. C.
The whole experience was excellent.
The Optician was friendly and informed me in great detail of the eye test procedure. The questions she asked me about my eyes were clear and easy to understand. Her knowledge was vast. For example choosing the right frame for the lenses which would benefit me in my everyday life.
I wasn't nervous at all. This was due to her natural calming influence.
I am happy to know that my eyes will always have the best care.
D. Q.
Very polite and efficient. Although my wife is severally sight impaired, the test was thorough and complete, as far as was possible. There was nothing that could be recommended, which we probably realised prior to the visit, but it was comforting to be confirmed by a specialist.
Very pleased with the service, which serves a unique option.
H. B.
First time of using OutsideClinic-Home Eye Tests,, amazing experience, totally professional and came well equipped with everything needed. I had a very thorough eye test,discussed options with me: even came with frames. A really lovely man. Would recommend this service to anyone who can't get to an optician.. thank you
G. S.
I am replying on behalf of my husband who had an eye test in our home last week. The young man who carried out the test arrived with an array of up-to-date equipment which I found very impressive. I had a test at a local opticians the previous week and I was amazed at how thorough and extensive the Outside Clinic test was compared to my test. The young man was outstandingly polite, pleasant, informative and thorough. Having concluded the test he produced a concertina bag which contained an amazing array of spectacle frames. No shortage of choice. He advised on specific details for the lenses and the choice was made. Best eye test ever.
t. h.
I had my eyes tested by Ciara this week . She explained everything to me and was very professional and made the experience very relaxed . I am looking forward to receiving my new glasses.
I was called to be told what time she was would be with me beforehand and was on time which was a nice touch..
d. s.
Optician arrived on time was polite and with the test was concerned with my eyes .. After the test He explained what he had found and explained why i needed new glasses .. He then showed me his case of frames and showed me what he recommended . After a discussion on which suited me best we agreed a price which i am very pleased with , and ordered the glasses i chose .. I am now waiting for my new glasses to arrive .
K. B.
The officer was very helpful, she took time to ask about any concerns I have, especially regarding using a computer for translation work for several hours each day. She came well-equipped -- after doing the necessary tests she pulled up samples that seemed to meet that need, trying alternatives to identify the optimum lenses and fit.
Having this service in my own home was very helpful as I have mobility problems (walking with sticks).
H. E.
Absolutely fantastic service regular updates on appointment time. Lovely lady visited my mum who is 99 and really made her feel at ease with the whole process. She explained everything to us as she went along would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone.
T. L.
I am very impressed by the care my mothers received from the Outside Clinic. Jason telephoned to let us know when he was on his way. The test seemed to be every bit as thorough as if done at an Opticians. Jason was kind and patient whilst doing the tests and choosing replacement glasses. i would have no hesitation in recommending The Outside Clinic.
I was also impressed by the service when my mother had a hearing test from the Outside Clinic
T.
An excellent and thorough service, which greatly helped me as I am physically disabled and find it impossible to attend opticians in tow. Centres. The ophthalmia was so polite and courteous. Every part of the process is explained. A selection of spectacles are brought to the appointment but there is no obligation to buy at all. The whole appointment took about an hour, and I would recommend this service to anyone.
K. B.
Dad had visit from optician at home. Lovely friendly & professional lady optician. Did thorough checks on both eyes and put dad at ease straight away. Most impressed and would definitely recommend.
A. P.
I was very happy with the eye test I received from Tom last week. He was friendly, explained every stage and any questions I had. He also didn't push me to buy glasses.
L. F.
The female optician was very punctual and adapted very easily to the constraints of the room in which she carried out a very thorough eye examination. She was also very informative as she proceeded with her examination. Her male colleague followed afterwards and carried out the practical applications required to enable measurements to be taken as my aunt required new spectacle frames in addition to new lenses. All in all a very professional exercise by both attendees. We await the new spectacles and anticipate an equally professional and timely conclusion.
M. O.
Absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly chap. Easy to work with and , with no vested interest in selling you anything, gave a totally honest view that there was such a slight change to my prescription that there was no need to change my glasses. Brilliant.
K. B.
We had hearing and eye tests done by the Outside Clinic, each person who came was friendly and professional and we had a very good test for both of them Everything was explained by the person who came to the house and also by the people in the offices. We felt at ease with the examinations and are very happy with the results of our examinations. Wouild definately recommend them to anyone who needs to have these tests done at home.
S. P.
Excellent consultation for someone with speech issues and challenges understanding what is said. The Outside Clinic person visting had a very pleasant manner and a lot of patience which made the experience of such benefit. It has been a long time since having an eye test with having so many challenges. Looking forward to receiving the new glasses by post. Would thoroughly recommend this service particularly for anyone with mobility issues and needing extra time to understand and be understood.
M. W.
I am writing this on behalf of my aunt. The optician arrived promptly and was very pleasant. An excellent service and highly recommended.
E. R.
Originally the appointment was for me but my husband was having trouble with his eyes so the option looked at his and found a series fault in his eyes he is going to the eye provilion. The option is coming to see me later he was extremely nice and friendly. We were surprised he had to pay for his eye test we thought is was free for over 65.
R. S.
I was impressed with the professionalism and caring manner of the optician who came to visit me.
The Outside Clinic made the whole process extremely easy and I highly recommend the company.
P. B.
Ellie was absolutely brilliant with mum, who has been affected by her recent stroke.
Mum and I would like to thank her for her kindness and patience. We would recommend this excellent service without any reservations. Big thank you 😊
s. P.
The optician was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and she explained everything to my mum whilst doing the test.
Very prompt on time would highly recommend.
J. L.
I was very impressed with the service.Full eye test including looking behind the eyes ,very kind,courteous & friendly optician with a vast selection of frames & overall reasonable prices.
A. F.
An excellent service from a highly skilled professional. My father is very poorly, but Ali treated him with respect and kindness, always aware of his limitations. He gave excellent advice, he was not pushy in trying to sell a product that was not required. This is the 2nd time of using and would definently use again.
D. C.
Recently my mother was a patient of the outside clinic. She very pleased with the treatment, the staff were so kind and considerate in every way. She would suggMadison Tapered Round Planteruest to anyone needing treatment at home to take advantage of the excellent service offered.
K. R.
Very polite, explained everything in clear terms I have mobility problems so it was nice not having to move from machine to machine, but still had a comprehensive examination, more importantly wasn't rushed
G. B.
Outstanding service. From first contact through to the completion of the visit, excellent service. Oscar (I think his name is) who did the examination was very thorough, professional and polite. Would recommend them without hesitation as regards service. I am sure when my new specs arrive the same standard will still be there.
J. G.
Everything about this visit deserve top marks.Kevin Frost the Optometrist made my 103 mother feel completely at ease. Kevin carried out the in depth test thoroughly and professionally.My mother is now looking forward to her new glasses.Thank you.
G. V.
The optician Kevin, was such a nice guy. He explained clearly everything and that my eyesight had changed. He suggested some glasses, which are perfect for me. Highly recommended.
D. S.
A very impressive service. Stephen made a great job of putting my elderly brother at ease, performing the sight test professionally and then sorting out the lens and frame options. I would be happy to recommend Outside Clinic.
E. S.
I was really happy with the optician. She was very polite and friendly as well as explaining and made me feel at ease. I am quite happy to recommend Outside Clinic
J. H.
I was so impressed with the young woman who came to test my eyes she was really helpful and thorough !!! She ensured that I understood and was aware of the whole process and was very patient. Thankyou. I am looking forward to receiving my glasses!!
S. D.
Mr qasim bharmal was very polite and professional. My husband was very pleased with his eye test and not having to leave the house was a bonus.
Highly recommended.
k. m.
Yes,Optician came home.Did all the test.
When it came to choosing frame,I was disappointed.
The frame I choose,the label on it £50.
AS I selected,he said it was £60.
The label was changed and had to pay £ 60.
So beware of this cheat to disabled people. One has to be very careful
M. B.
I can only write about my hearing and eye tests today as I have not yet received my hearing aid or glasses. The audiologist who came was very friendly and efficient. I can't think of anything that could have been done better. I look forward to receiving my hearing aid in the near future.
Likewise the optician who came to test my eyes was business like and thorough. Both had to contend with my friendly dog and cats...and did so with understanding and patience. I am now waiting on my glasses arriving.
C. M.
Firstly, thank you for this home tests’ service.
The eye test was very competently and sympathetically carried out.
My sister was totally at ease and she dealt with the process confidently.
I am grateful that my sister’s name is now on your register.
P. H.
I have no other words other than outstanding service. Well actually I do have a few more. Robert, the optometrist was truly wonderful. Polite, professional and clearly was able to communicate with understanding, to the elderly (and the family :-) The world would be a better place with people like Robert. If I could give 100 stars I would. Recommended? most certainly without ANY reservations. A credit to humanity.
K. W.
Excellent service, very helpful for both my parents by testing their eyes and prescribing new glasses for my father at home with no need for me to try and get them to a opticians with their very limited mobility.Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend.
S. T.
Appointment was booked in quickly and a very friendly and efficient chap completed the eye test on my father who is bed bound.
C. C.
Excellent service. Ali was great, so lovely to my Mum throughout the eye test. Brilliant, would highly recommend.
J. H.
What a professional and friendly experience. Very thorough testing. Good choice of frames and I look forward to receiving my new glasses shortly. Would highly recommend to anyone who has mobility issues and who are unable to easily attend a high street optician.

The young lady came out to do an eye test on my elderly mother who is house bound, the lady was very good doing the test and was very polite. Just waiting for a phone call now saying the glasses will be sent.
C. H.
Very very impressed. Was made to feel calm as suffer with high anxiety. Looking forward to my new glasses. Thank you!
J. M.
Excellent service, very efficient and friendly optician. Arrived when he said he would and was informative and accommodating. Put my Mum at ease and carried out the eye test very professionally. Would definitely recommend.

Oscar was really good We felt more informed and involved with our eye tests than at our usual tests.Every care was taken and every help given to us .Looking forward to new glasses coming. Full marks to Oscar.
A. S.
Appointment booked for my housebound 88 year old mother. The lady who visited was extremely kind and helpful and did a brilliant job.
Why only 4 stars? Original appointment was cancelled only hours before arrival and same with her hearing test the same day.
S. B.
Excellent service from Kiran she certainly put me at my ease as someone who has a phobia about eye tests. Kind gentle reassuring lady would
thoroughly recommend.
g. d.
They came out to see me regarding my eyes.when the lady was here she was very professional in everyday.went through all options regarding my new glasses.nothing was any trouble to her.
I would recommend a home visit.
Thankyou
J. H.
Efficient service and all very professional.
Only thing I would request is to give clients a time (I know it can't be exact because all appointments will take different times) . I had to wait with my mother-in-law for a couple of hours as I could only be given 'morning or afternoon' appointment. I am not local to my mother-in-law and it was quite frustrating!
Other than that, it was a great relief not to struggle to take her to an outside appointment and we were given good advice and referred to the hosital.
C. D.
What a excellent service my husband had a stroke and it affected his eyesight I rang them as my husband lost his mobility and they were very polite and helpful they made a appointment and kept me updated on when and what time they were coming. The man who came was very nice done his eyes and then we ordered my husband's glasses from a excellent range so pleased with this fantastic service my husband would still be struggling with his sight now if not for this service
L. M.
Excellent service and great choice of glasses to choose from. Very impressed with the way they explained everything to my 90 year old mum.
e. f.
Very professional and thourogh not being able to get to an outside optician easily due to mobility problems is an absolute bonus to be able to have a home visit vast range of frames and excellent prices what a wonderful service thank you
J. B.
Excellent service from booking process to the testing which was the most thorough testing I have ever head. Charming technician. Fully recommend to anyone housebound.
T. A.
Excellent service. Lovely kind lady visited my mum. She was very understanding and nothing was too much trouble for her - was great with the advice and explaining the full procedure to mum. Highly recommended. Will definitely be using the service again.
Thanks Outside Clinic.
B. T. (.
The Outside Clinic experience for me could not have gone better
the optometrist Faye listened took time to find the best lenses/glasses
to bring my eye site back to me although I have not received my glasses
as yet I have confidence that they will be as good as they can be unfortunately I could not afford the second pare of glasses for my computer.
I cant thank you enough The Outside Clinic and Faye for a splendid service
My Sincere Regards
Mr R.Tilston.
D. Y.
Excellent optician service. My aunt was put at her ease and she was helped to choose her glasses
R. C.
I was very satisfied with the standard of care I received.the optician was very professional a nd helpful and explained each procedure as she went through the process.
A. M.
Outside Clinic were very helpful with my aged father's eye testing. They called to confirm appointments very well. The actual testing was done well and professionally. Thank you
J. B.
Absolutely brilliant. The Optician (Steve I think) was really kind and extremely professional, he arrived at the appointed time, and took his time to explain everything to my (89 year old and hard of hearing) mum. 200% recommend
M. C.
The optician was very professional when testing my eyes,she was very helpful and polite,
A good variety of glasses to choose from and different cost to suit your budget, I cannot review your product until I receive my glasses
J. S.
The Optician was fantastic. Spent a lot of time with my elderly mother, talking to her about what was being carried out in a detailed eye test.
My mum is being tested for Dementia but communicated very well with Optician.
A very good service for housebound people and will be contacted again and her details have been updated.
A. Y.
It was so easy. From start to finish they were polite and efficient. The man came on time and my husband never moved off his chair which was a bonus, while getting a full eye test. Next came choosing his spectacles then the delivery about a fortnight later. Couldn't have been easier. Thanks to all.
H. D.
While I have yet to receive end product, my eye test was dealt with in a very professional manner. I have infarct already recommended you to a few friends.
B. G.
Optician very polite and good attention paid to detail, would have given 5 stars, but thought price was a little on the high side, but as I don't know what other opticians charge this may not be the case.
L. W.
So far so good. Very professional and courteous and test equipment seemed to be top notch. However will reserve final judgment until ordered specs arrive and prove themselves in the wearing thereof. Looking at the prescription not 100% sure they are strong enough, but time will tell.
s. j.
I’d recommend this service to anyone who needs it, the lady was really good sorting the comprehensive test and new glasses for my 83 year old father in law. He didn’t have to leave his chair and the whole thing was sorted in just over an hour, glasses due in a couple of weeks to his home address. Thank you
A. R.
My Dad was delighted with his home Eye test. All very professional and a very polite informative.
Thank you.

My dad had a home visit for an eye test recently with the Outside Clinic. They were very professional, courteous, friendly and patient. I would highly recommend them for their services.
p. m.
Excellent friendly service. Made all the difference to my elderly mother as she had much more time for her test and much more comfortable without having to stand and move around for her.
T. M.
Very professional, easy to talk to answered all questions when asked. I'm pleased I was able to meet the criteria to have a home visit as mobility is difficult at the moment.
D. R.
The lady that came to do our eye tests was really good and very helpful and explained everything to us we were very pleased with all she did for us
d. s.
The service we received was excellent, the most thorough examination we have ever had and the optician was friendly and helpful .
Thoroughly recommend Outside Clinic
E. E.
This was my first time using this service and I was hugely impressed the optician Jenny who carried out the test was really lovely and explained what was happening at each stage and would recommend it to anyone.
J. M.
The service on the day was excellent but I think if you purchase glasses the money is taken out of your account the same day but you have to wait up to 4 week for them to be delivered other companies don't until they are delivered.
L. H.
First class. Optician was prompt, efficient and had everything with him, I was astonished at the thoroughness of he examination. Equalled any I had at a High Street optician or indeed privately.
R. F.
Kevin arrived on time having given an estimated time of arrival. A most professional examination followed, with a prescription and quotation for two new pairs of glasses.A very welcome visit.
J. C.
Excellent service. Caring, helpful, optician.
All at home in comfort.
Highly recommended, for those who like, me, need this help. Many thanks.
S. M.
Was very prompt and efficient, he was very friendly and very helpful and put my mother at ease, explaining everything as he went along and advised with selection of frames,
My mother was very happy with the service
G. R.
The optician was a very pleasant and efficient person. She explained fully what she was going to do. The eye test was very straight forward and the selection off glasses frames after the test was pretty good. She explained all about the results and I could ask as many questions as I wanted. The payment methods offered were straight forward and you had to pay a minimum of 50% of the total cost of the glasses chosen or pay, in excess of this or the total. No pressure applied at all. The process took less than an hour and I was totally satisfied at the service provided.
E. A.
My mother had her eyes tested and paid for 2 pairs of glasses on 4th Feb 2022. It is now 7th March and no glasses or phonecall from you to explain where they are. My mother is 86 years of age and I find this shocking of the way she has been treated.
Lady from outside clinic just called me.Mums glasses being posted out to her, getting 20% refund and follow up appointment being made for next week for mum. Thank you for you quick response to put matters right for my mum.
A. W.
I have been having eye tests for many years with different opticians but my test with Outside Clinic was the best by far.The optician was brilliant.She explained what was happening,and she was friendly and efficient.Thank you and well done.

Excellent. Very thorough test carried out by a well mannered and pleasant specialist

thorough examination of eyes with helpful comments
set up of opticians equipment did not cause any problems
P. G.
Excellent service - very helpful & friendly staff- I recommend this service 100% - They visited my housebound uncle who is 90 and provided a first class efficient service for which we are all very grateful - Thank you to all concerned xx
M. D.
Booked a home eye test for my 88 year old mother with limited mobility. From the initial appointment booking through to the examination itself the process was seamless and great service from all staff members. Would highly recommend.
k. b.
Expensive, and not much advance communication - neither email or letter. The first written communication I received was this request for a review. This appointment was for my mother, who is over 80, there was a phone call to confirm the date with her but she did not understand what exactly she was paying for - over £600 for two pairs of glasses. I hope she doesn't need to get her eyes tested again - she definately can't afford this service!
S. S.
What a great service! The optician who visited me was very nice, friendly but professional and did a great job. My only criticism would be the selection of frames was obviously somewhat limited and the quote was an extortionate amount of money! My glasses are always expensive because of my prescription and the desire for very thin lenses, however these were £200 more than what I usually pay, presumably recouping the cost of a home visit 🤷🏻♀️ hence the 4 stars rather than 5.
J. J.
My experience in having my eyes tested by Outside Clinic was excellent in all respects. I have nothing but praise for the experience, everything worked perfectly from making the first contact to having the prescription statement. I have now had both eyes operated on for cataracts and everything is fine. I only have to wear glasses for reading and colours are very vivid. I am now 90 and have been wearing glasses for 70 years so it has made a big difference to my life. The process started with having my eyes tested at home by one of your employees so thank you very much.
D. R.
Very thorough polite young man. However considered very expensive the glasses. I knew my eyesight had deteriorated quite a lot since last tested. I get my eyes tested every year so a two year wait for next outside clinic too long at my age 66.
S. C.
The gentleman arrived on time and with ppe.He was patient and helpful, explaining what he was going to do and why. He had an amazing selection of frames and helped choose the right pair for my prescription.
D. B.
Mr Fred, the Optician was extremely helpful, clear in his explanations and gave me full confidence in his ability and proficiency. The Office Staff were brilliant in keeping me advised at all times before, during and after the appointment. The option to cancel up to 14 days is excellent. At 81 I was honestly and openly advised on the options and benefits open to me. I did cancel but retrospectively, I considered the very reasonable financial costs perhaps a waste at my age and projected eyesight improvement. I highly recommend this company. No waiting, quick appointments and the comfort of home visits. Thank you all concerned.
C. W.
Thank you for your visit, it was an excellent and professional service.
f. k.
I was very satisfied with my free eye test (in the Horsham area) conducted by Robert Ward in my lounge on January 20th 2022. The estimated waiting time for delivery of my new spectacles with bifocal lenses (costing £299) is two weeks.
T. W.
So pleased I found out about this service. A kind, patient and very professional young lady visited my 92 year old Dad and completed a thorough eye test with him. I have recommended your service to a friend of mine.
p. l.
Very nice and caring towards my Mum,
Kind regards
Paul
A. S.
Turned up on time,explained every thing well,very professional,my dad couldn't go to his opticians due to ill health so home visit was brilliant,sending glasses in the post, would recommend 👌
M. M.
I used OutsideClinic to organise both hearing and sight tests for my elderly mother. Due to illness she was not able to visit a clinic and OutsideClinic provided a superb service in meeting her needs for both a hearing aid and new reading glasses. Both the staff who organised the home visits and the two practitioners who attended to my mother were superb. Cannot recommend highly enough.
E. M.
I was very impressed with the service I received from Outside Clinic. Very thorough and a good selection of glasses on offer. Definitely made my life easier. Thank
you.
a. d.
I organised the test for my elderly parents and was very impressed from first booking to the eye test which was very thorough and the choice of glasses. The optician was very good.
S.
From start to finish very efficient friendly staff.
Used them as our Uncle cannot walk long distances and needs assistance.
That impressed we’ve recommended them to a friend.
R. K.
Very good service The lady who attended seems very experienced she was very polite and friendly both myself and my wife are very happy with service
R. A.
Very impressed booked appointment for my mother (she has early Dementia).
Very informative prior to appointment and during.
Mum was really pleased and extremely happy how it all went top marks thanks.
p. c.
A great service for people like our Mother. Appointments arranged at times to suit us at home. Very friendly and reasuring expert staff. A very smart and personable gentelman did our Mothers test and explained each step thoroughly. He was happy to answer all our questions and offered a number of options and prices for the new glasses. We are happy and greatful. The pricing structure is no higher than the high street outlets with all the same expertease but much more convinent for us all. Thank you.
K. J.
The optician was very charming and pleasant.
She was efficient and helpful.
All in all, an excellent service.
M. K.
The service was prompt, far more comprehensive than expected and very efficient. Cannot fault it in any way.
Thank you.
M. G.
Very easy to organise. Optician was very polite and efficient.
Only downside was they assumed that we would buy their glasses. Although no actual pressure was applied, we did feel that we weren't given any alternatives and it would have been preferred if there was some breathing space.
J. C.
The Test was very comprehensive and the representative was excellent. He explained the whole process as the Test progressed. The service offered is wonderful for housebound people such as me. Keep up the great work.
S. N.
I can wholeheartedly recommend a home eye test, it was a far more pleasant experience than visiting an optician. It wasn’t rushed, Harjaap took the time to explain things and make sure we were comfortable with everything.
P. A.
This was the best optical service I ever received, better than any high street service who eeam to rush through the examination.
Every stage of the proceedings was explained to me and saw the pictures of inside my eyes.
Well done the Outside Clinic.

My Wife’s experience of Outside Clinics eye test was in my opinion most superb. The Practice Officer was swift, professional, competent and manifested a most acceptable attitude and approach. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Service to anyone.

I was put in touch with Outside Clinic after a disastrous attempt with another home eye test provider for my disabled mother. What a complete difference from start to finish! The Outside Clinic Team were so professional (and friendly) from 1st call to glasses delivery. Kept us informed with written and verbal communications from the get go. Visit from the optician (Lee) was exceptional and thorough with no feeling of pressure regarding sales.
I had warned my mother not to expect too much as she has macular degeneration. However, upon receipt of 2 pairs of spectacles, she is now able to see better than she has for a few years.
Many thanks to the whole team; I've already recommended you to my Mother's part time carers, should they have anyone else who requires a home eye test!
J. W.
Efficient service pleasant consultant not quite a full eye test but covered the basics.I noted that peripheral vision test was not done. If you cannot get to the regular optician then I recommend this home service as the next best alternative
J. C.
Visited by very polite optician who was very thorough and helpful. Talked me through all the options open to me, without any pressure.
Would recommend them to anyone
E. H.
Very good service optician was very kind and courteous with my 91 year old mother who is very hard of hearing
L. T.
Fantastic. I was treated with the utmost respect. The test was very thorough and I was not rushed on anything. I was given lots of advise on my new specs and was able to take time in deciding. I would definitely recommend them
G. M.
Day of inspection excellent service , operator very polite kind and most helpful. The success of the visit will depend on our findings after wearing the new glasses when we can give a realistic review
Regards. L E & GB Morris
R. K.
The optician arrived earlier than expected, he was very polite and friendly and he tested my mother's eyes very efficiently and quickly
S. I.
Lovely, polite ophthalmologist did my dad's eye test at home. He was very professional and we can highly recommend Outside Clinic's eye test based on this experience. We also wanted to have a hearing test done for dad. Unfortunately this wasn't possible to do on the NHS with Outside Clinic, so we did not go ahead with this. For this reason, I have given 4 stars instead of 5.
A. S.
Nicola was excellent with the eye test she explained every thing to me and the glasses I picked were a good price l would recommend this service to people like me who are disabled
A. J.
The optometrist was very pleasant and more thorough than my mothers previous optom. Was convenient having a home visit.
S. I.
My home eye test was extremely comfortably performed. The optician was excellent, and this coupled with the familiarity of home made the experience less stressful.
l. e.
Could not fault .first class treatment and attention.
A. H.
My experience with my first home visit from the optician was excellent she explained everything she was doing and very helpful with my choosing my frames I felt so at ease I would definitely recommend this service to people like myself who find it hard to get to the optician
C. H.
Arrived on time & treated mum with respect & dignity. Explained everything as he went along.
D. M.
I thought it was very well organised and I was informed as to what would happen & when. The doctor arrived at the appointed time. Got quickly set up & the examination was done very smoothly. I have no complaints or suggestions that it could have been done better. DM
J. M.
The Glasses are very nice but unfortunately 1 of the lenses has fallen out!
a. m.
Excellent service. Felt very relaxed and the eye test went smoothly. Will use this service next time test is due.
n. k.
I was worried about this visit, my parents both have dementia. Would father cooperate? would he hear any directions? Would mother be able to follow any directions? Would they both reject the eye test?
I need not have worried. Mr Rishi Bhogaita introduced himself kindly, was very patient, used signs when words were not heard, explained simply what was not understood. I can't speak highly enough about him. he made a job that I thought near on impossible, possible.
B. L.
It was a great experience. the person that came was very nice and made me feel at ease, he was also very thorough. After the test i could choose the frames and pay, all in the comfort of home.
A. B.
It was for my father in-law who is 90 and not easily please he was very imprest with the service.thank you Arlene Bancroft (daughter in-law).
S. B.
Got in touch with Outside Clinic for my mum in law, she's lost a lot of her confidence since Covid, and no longer goes out, she's 84.
A lovely young man arrived at the time stated, and was very helpful and courteous, he explained eeverything he needed to do and took care and time to do it.
Did a thorough eye test, and he told her that she needed new glasses.
This wasn't a case of over sell, as she hadn't had her eyes tested for 3 years and knew she would need some.
She was very pleased with her experience of this service and she said she would definitely recommend this service to other people.
Overall experience was excellent. Very pleased.
V. f.
Excellent service glasses arrived very quickly and I felt very comfortable during the tests. And the glasses fit perfectly thankyou.
M. W.
Very nice optician who came to test my eyes convenient for me as I have mobility issues the only thing I thought they were a bit pricey
R. D.
Excellent service,nothing was too much trouble.
Very professional optician,would recommend it.
P. M.
Excellent service which I only recently knew about. The gentleman who tested my eyes was polite, and very thorough. I highly recommend this service to anyone who like myself is housebound.
J. B.
The Home Eye Test was very convenient for more wife who has dementia and both thorough whilst being conducted most politely. The result being that further investigation was required for her left eye and was informed an appointment would be made at the Queen Margaret Hospital Dunfermline. This we assumed with the present climate would take weeks. Not at all, my wife was contacted the following day and an appointment was made for her to seek further advice at an opticians in Dunfermline, the day after.
Thank you for your prompt, efficient and courteous actions
D. G.
A very professional and friendly service.i would definitely recommend the outside clinic
J. C.
Excellent service. Clear explanations and very patient. Impressive application to my problems and Sam had a very professional but personable approach.
P. B.
Hi the experience with outside clinic with the young lady who helped us. Was brilliant service and excellent quality service. The best eye experience ever. Thanks again....Mrs Patricia Bourne.......
M. D.
I received an excellent, professional and caring service from Optician Louise. I must say I was a little apprehensive before her visit but she explained everything to me and put me at ease. Thank you
H. H.
10/10 for the whole process from booking to the actual visit. My 88 year old mother in law was very happy with the gentleman who visited and the service he gave.
S. C.
Robert who came to see my mother in law Dorothy Hannah Oliver on the 2nd March was so compassionate and caring and although she has now past away before she received her new glasses he could not have been more caring.
I would recommend you anytime. Thank you so much.

Elizabeth was extremely professional and friendly putting my old Dad at ease. He has nothing but praise for the excellent service.
m. b.
My client whom I care for said he absolutely loved his visit from the optician , he could'nt speak more highly from the service he received.
L. L.
It was wonderful not to have the stress of getting to the optician. The phone call to reassure me that the optician would be on time was very helpful. The optician herself was very pleasant and polite and did a very professional job. I am confident my new glasses will improve my vision. I would have given the review 5* but I was disappointed in the range of frames available, although I do realise it is difficult when they have to be transported. I did observe that the frames themselves looked as if they could do with a good clean.
A. S.
Overall it was a good service but the optician didn't make it clear to my mother that she was actually choosing new frames. It was all very rushed, there seemed very little choice and the prices were high.
W. G.
I was very surprised at the service given . The young lady who carried out the tests on my wife and myself was very friendly and explained everything she was doing . I would recommend this service , but of course I have not received my glasses yet , so this could obviously change , I hope not after the young lady was so good .
I. P.
Extremely professional and polite. Gloves, mask, apron. I suffer with anxiety/depression ( main reason I chose a home visit ), and was totally at ease within minutes. Thank you very much OutsideClinic.
P. M.
excellant service for eye test for my wife and myself,
disapointed not to be shown more choice and never got or was told about price list of frames.
g. g.
First home visit - very impressed, couldn't find fault with anything.
very professional,all questions answered. Am nor awaiting delivery
of my glasses.
s. j.
The lady who came to tested my eyes was very nice and pleasant,service was excellent I would recommend anyone who can't get to the opticians to have the outsideclinic.
K. W.
I was delighted with the service which Shona gave when she visited me on the 22nd February and look forward to her next visit in February 2023!
K. D.
The lady that did my eye test Eimear was very courteous and polite I was very impressed by the way she tested my eyes and the equipment she had it was just like going to opticians but better I am truly grateful and so impressed with the service
S. T.
This proved to be the most efficient and comprehensive eye test I have ever had.
The equipment is so impressive and the optician took time and care.
In these uncertain times and my health making it difficult to go out, this was such a great option. A friend recommended a home test to me, so I highly recommend this option to those like myself who are very vulnerable.
The array of glasses is also superb and I look forward to receiving mine in a few weeks time.
h. a.
Brilliant kept up to date with visit. Arrived on time. Good with there customer. Very good price for glasses
I.
The optician was excellent , really helpful and patient , but the booking process is clumsy, slow and vaguely reminiscent of old British Gas:
- fill out details on line
- get a phone call to repeat details
- wait for a letter setting an arbitrary date and without time of appointment
- wait for a phone call a week before appointment to confirm date and indicate either an am or a pm appointment
- phone call indicates a 12 noon- 5 pm slot
- wait in most of the afternoon for a call to say the appointment will happen in about an hour’s time.
There has to be a better way!
M. H.
The service was pretty good. The test was for my father who is housebound. I would have given 5 stars, but I asked them to call me with results (I'm not local) and that didn't happen.
T. S.
Very convenient access to eye care service at your own house. No travel or waiting time. A thorough examination by the visiting consultant. Would recommend the service.
S. T.
Very efficient and friendly service - perfect for my mother in law who has dementia and house bound.
E. W.
The test was friendly and a pleasant experience. Full review will be done when glasses are received.
J. T.
Optician arrived for an eye test for my mum who is 100. Lovely friendly and kind man. Service was fantastic and my mum picked two new pairs of glasses at such a small unbelievably low price. Have yet to receive the order but would not hesitate to recommend.
M. B.

This is the first time i have used the outside clinic for my elderly mothers eye test. She was very pleased with them and the optician was very thorough, she was very impressed by the up to date eye screening equipment that was used to photograph the back of her eyes. The optician was very friendly and immediately put my mother at ease. There was a good selection of spectacles to choose from. I would recommend the Outside Clinic to anyone to try.
j. c.
I contacted outside clinic for my wife who had a stroke in January I think the company are very good at their job I would recommend if you are bed bound

J. B.
I have been using Outside Clinic for about seven years since I became virtually housebound through prolapsed discs and spinal stenosis and have always been extremely happy with the service provided. However my only difficulty was that the spectacles on offer were always on the expensive side and this year I decided to try another optician who could provide cheaper glasses but this has resulted in very poor customer service and I am still waiting for the completion of my purchase three months after the eye exam. So I made an online enquiry on the Outside Clinic website asking if they could supply cheaper glasses in future. This resulted in a phone call a few hours later asking how they can help. I told her all about my trouble with the other optician and she assured me that she had entered requirement for cheaper spectacles in my notes along with an annotation stating that I needed the left lens frosted or possibly completely blacked out. She has also made a note in her diary to contact me herself to book an appointment for the optician. A very charming lady and has excellent customer service. I feel very reassured that my eyesight is back in safe hands.
D. S.
Very nice man, very thorough and not pushing me to have glasses I didn't need. Advised on options to help me and showed me where to buy from. Would definitely recommend
L. L.
Thorough and efficient eye test, excellent selection of frames and lenses and optician was exceptionally polite and helpful

Very pleased with the whole appointment my Aunt is deaf so communication was key. All went very well.
M. S.
Well , Regarding my eye sight test, I found everything went to my satisfaction, and was very thorough indeed, whilst I cannot comment on the end product, as I only had the test a couple of days ago, I'm sure that
the attention paid to obtain every detail needed, will reflect on producing the ideal set of glass's.
G. S.
Very good and experienced examiner, took time to explain things clearly , didn't rush session in any way, was very helpful, very happy with consultation, no complaints at all, would recommend to anyone housebound
J. M.
The Gentleman who came to my house his name was James McEvoy was very helpful and very nice to talk too and that make all the difference to me.
P. A.
This service is amazing cant believe how simple quick and professional the process was, my mum is 92 years old and the gentleman who was testing my mums eyes was most considerate how he spoke and how he moved her head while doing the test this in turn put my mums mind at rest, thank you sincerely.
G. M.
Young lady who attended us very competent and efficient.
Proof of the examination will be in the glasses when they arrive.
Would like a hearing test for my wife if it can be arranged please
B. M. ..
The Outside Clinic is a convenient professional optician service in the comfort of your own home when a person has mobility issues. Can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s a brilliant service. Looking forward to receiving my new glasses soon!
S. A.
Very nice gentleman, it was my dad’s test he did, explain everything very good and clear to my dad. Very please with the service.
V. L.
Was very happy with the gentleman that did my eye test, was very thorough and rang me as to what time of arrival which I appreciated, It’s a great service to have when your unable to get out easily, although I have to have new glasses I found these new ones were same amount as I paid in the Optictions last year in a town centre

I’m writing this review for my parents aged 95 and 96.
The optician who did the home eye tests was excellent! He was extremely thorough and explained everything. We highly recommend him. Thanks very much, Ali! You did a wonderful job.
C. S.
The lady that came to test me and my mum's eyes (eye test after many year's) in our home was exceptional she took her time made mum and me feel at ease very friendly and professional after each test she explained everything to us both which we both appreciated,I can't recommend her more highly, excellent service 10 out of 10
J. B.
The young man who came to my Dad's house was kind and courteous. He was totally professional and did the eye test in a place where Dad felt comfortable. The range of glasses to choose from was excellent and competitively priced. Very pleased with the whole service, from booking the appointment to paying the bill.
J. O.
A friendly, professional and convenient eye test for the housebound. Highly recommended!
J. S.
A reaar more information slly first class service. The eye test was very efficient and I wa given far more information than my usual high street optician
R. M.
This was a very good service.the optician that attended was very helpful and knowledgeable who could not do enough to ensure that I had everything I needed for my glasses 👓 again a very good service.
J. K.
Easy to book appointment. On the day we were rung to advise of time arriving. Optician arrived on time and was very Covid19 safety aware. A very professional and kind person who treated my mum with respect. A thorough examination was made and clear explanation about what he had found. Great from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
H. C.
Sarah came out to visit my 94yr old mum and she was wonderful, very professional and caring .
B. H.
Very good eye test, will wait until I have received my glasses to give a full review
L. O.
Jason Dias was outstanding, arriving on time, very pleasant and caring, professional service, can't praise him enough.
v. c.
Used this service as mother was housebound. Hardip communicated very well and turned up on time and was very polite and courteous. Very professional eye test service was dealt with with everything to hand including glasses to try on and this made it so much easier for my 94 year old mother and extremely appreciated. Would definitely use again 110%. Thank you
F. H.
Brilliant service very caring and patient came on time good choice of frames I definitely recommend thankyou
B. A.
This is the first time using the Outside Clinic for my father who is 91. This is an absolutely wonderful service. From first booking the appointment to the home visit was very easy and efficient. The guy who came to the house was very patient with my father who is hard of hearing. Wide range of glasses available. Would highly recommend.
r. w.
It was marvellous from my point of view. Karen was thoroughly professional and went through all the various tests explaining everything. It was a better experience than I've had before over the years.I'm not that mobile so it was a boon having it at home. Thank you.
J. B.
As I find it difficult to negotiate in and out of smaller shops this experience was wonderful for me. The optician was very pleasant and tested my eyes exactly the same as in the shop. The volume of frames to choose from was marvellous .
Thank you Outside Clinic wish I had found you two years ago.
D. W.
First class service . I decided to have two extra reading .still waiting for phone call
L. H.
The optician was very thorough with my mum's eye test and picked up a couple of issues we weren't aware of. New lighter titanium frames were recommended as she is having a reaction to her existing frames and they are a bit too heavy and slip down her nose. Very pleased with the visit
M. h. 2. f.
They forgot to do the hearing test, other than that was good.
V. P.
Very easy I found the eye test comfortable and easy to follow. Hopefully will use again.
J. A.
Excellent service, the optometrist was fantastic and put my mam at total ease. Very thorough examination and easy to understand explanation. A bit more expensive but well worth it. Mam described it as the best eye examination she's ever had.
P. K.
Very professional and efficient. Just as thorough as a high street optician if not better. Good selection of frames and reasonable prices. Henry was excellent and had a great bedside manner as my wife is confined to bed.
H. C.
Great service very very happy with the man that called with me I will use again.just great
S. C.
A professional, knowledgeable, efficient, caring service provided by Mr Alexander Pennington.
K. J.
This is an excellent service and I would certainly recommend. It is such an easy progress everything is very clearly explained and the experience could not be better, and I would give 10 out of 10
j. a.
I found my appointment with outside clinis quick and the optician knowledgable . i will use them again willingly.
T. V.
I would just like to say how impressed we were with the outstanding service received by my Stepfather yesterday 17th May 2021
from one of your home opticians.
He made my Stepfather feel very at ease, he had a wonderful manner with his patient and was polite, professional and friendly. Thank you so much, we couldn't have asked for better service.
I will recommend you with great confidence.
Many thanks
R. B.
Excellent service Optician very thorough and explained all procedures. Would highly recommend
A. H.
I found that the lady who did my eye test was efficient, kind and very helpful.
She was professional and carried out all the tests proficiently. When choosing the frames she showed me a variety that I could choose from and also told me the prices of which I could choose to suit my budget. I was extremely satisfied with the tests and the lady who did them and would recommend this service to anyone who needed an eye test at home.
Mrs Avril Howell

Your service is brilliant. Mrs Holder was so pleased with her glasses. We were very impressed with with the home test and wish to thank the gentleman for being kind understanding and very efficient, he is an asset to your company.
S. D.
Wonderful experience for my mum’s first time use of this service. Zac was professional and charming and listened carefully to any questions we had. He spoke clearly which enabled my mum to hear what he said , despite wearing masks .
We were amazed to see the way he opened up the suitcases to reveal all his equipment- including a vast array of glasses to choose from.
We highly recommend this service, it was a delightful experience and brightened mum’s day. Her new glasses are due to arrive in the post in the next two weeks. In fact we were so impressed with the whole experience that we have now got in touch with the Outside Clinic Hearing Service.
Don’t hesitate to try this service if you have any difficulties getting to the shops, highly recommended!
T. D.
Excellent service and provided all information very clearly,as my mother is 77 has hearing issues and understood everything that was said to her.....she now wont be using anyone else...thank you
M. C.
Arrived on time.
Understand what we needed
Waited until i got my dad ready
Set up was really good.
Measured the distance required
Eye test very good
Very good range of glasses to choose from
Explained all options i.e thin lenses etc.
Gave us all the information needed if the glasses need any adjustment.
Would recommend to any person who has poor health.
C. D.
I was pleased with the visit to my mum,the service was impressive,my mum chose a lovely pair of glasses,and good to know if there are any concerns you are able to contact and happy with the yearly check up .
M. S.
Optician came on home visit to elderly mother. Very thorough and Mum referred to hospital for investigation.
J. A. &. D.
Amazing! Professional, Courteous and boundary respect. My Consultant was amiable and approachable. He explained everything thoroughly and was very patient with my circumstances as I did not have any Furnishing. I wish everyone was like him. I had a very positive experience.
C. K.
Lovely young man. Very professional and patient with my dad who is 98 next week. Our neighbour who is housebound will be contacting them.
G. P.
Excellent service. It was easy to arrange a home visit and the contact and communication about the appointment was very good. The optician who tested my very elderly aunt's eyes explained clearly and effectively what he needed her to do and the results of the tests. His communications were respectful, appropriate and friendly. I really recommend the service for anyone who is frail and/or elderly.
D. P.
The Home Eye Test service itself was good, efficient, and suited my need for a home-visiting service for my wife. The practitioner was friendly and well equipped for a comprehensive range of tests. The spectacles have since arrived and are entirely satisfactory. I was surprised by the cost, which I accepted on ordering, but the service does offer the convenience of home testing. I would need to consider using this service again, but only on the issue of cost.
j. f.
Very helpful explained everything tested all aspects of mams sight just as if she was at optician friendly chap. COVID safe and glasses get sent in the post but they are there if we need them
R. B.
I was very impressed with the great care that was taken and I would strongly recommend the OutsideClinic to elderly disabled people who are unable to get to an optician. It was very convenient having it at home, the
appointment took about an hour and nothing was too much trouble for the very obliging Sikh who attended me. Unfortunately I do not know his name but please pass on my thanks to him.
A. H.
Lady very polite and helpful just think glasses a bit expensive good service on the whole thank you
J. L.
I was extremely impressed with the service. We were given notice before she turned up, and she then arrived on time. The practitioner was very polite, friendly and professional; and the equipment she brought gave us the confidence that this service rivals that of a high street optician. My only negative was the price, which was far in excess of what I would normally have paid. Having said that, my father could not have gone to a high street optician so our options were limited anyway. Overall, for the service I would highly recommend Outside Clinic.
C. S.
The person who carried out the eye exam was both thorough and professional. We were very impressed.
K. D.
I'd definitely recommend this service. Friendly & professional service from start to finish. Liked being kept informed of arrival time on the day of appointment. Really convenient for my Dad who could have his eye test and choose his glasses all in the comfort of his own home.
J. W.
On time, very professional, really good with my dad (the patient) who has alzhimers, and explained things to myself very well
L. M.
Very professional, friendly and thorough. A lifeline for my mother in law as she is housebound
N. W.
Very professional service. Both hearing and eye tests at home were professional, both gentlemen polite and very knowledgeable and not pushy at all. They had all the equipment with them which was very easy to set up at home and were able to print out eye test results there and then. Very pleased. Took the stress out of getting two disabled parents to a store! Glasses being delivered and hearing aids too. Thank you so much.
V. G.
The optician was very thorough, professional and polite. The test was done very carefully. I would like to mention that I had no idea the Outside Clinic did a budget range of frames, as I would have chosen from that range instead of paying £325 for two pairs of glasses, which I could ill-afford.
J. S.
Would totally recommend this facility to anyone who has difficulty accessing an optician on the high street. I booked for my mum as she has problems walking. Every aspect of the appointment was identical to a visit to the local optician and I couldn't fault it at all. The whole process was very hygienic and every piece of equipment was available to ensure a thorough examination. Scott was so patient with my mum (who doesn't hear very well) and we were never made to feel pressurised into a specific timeframe or the need to make a purchase. My mum ended up picking a new set of spectacles and we're just waiting for them to be mailed out to her. Excellent service!!
K. R.
Really good service for an elderly person who struggles to get to appointments. Really polite and good reasonably priced service.
j. p.
Our optician turned up on time, and was a lovely'friendly young lady. Very professional, and extremely helpful in choosing frames, so nice to get an independent, honest, feedback
E. H.
I was very pleased with the experience of having my eyes tested at home.
I felt very safe and well looked after by a young man who gave me great confidence and was very thorough in all he did.
He talked me through each procedure so I understood what he was doing
I highly recommend the service
M. “.
After some hiccup with an appointment cancelled at the last minute by this clinic, we were offered another one a few weeks later. Mrs Tejal Patel the Optometrist came and gave a very thorough eye test on Frank. Her calm approach and helpfulness throughout the examination was extremely welcome. Definitely to be recommended.
J. C.
Great at home service. Only issue was they gave us a time of lunchtime, and turned up at 1030 and my 86 yr old Mother was out. Came back at 1230 and completed a thorough eye test and whilst I could not attend she was reassured and left with a complete understanding of further treatment and next steps. She said the optician was very kind and considerate. So happy we have gone with them.
J. G.
Excellent service and very helpful staff. The optician was very patient with my husband who has Parkinson's & difficulty with communication.
C. B.
Went to my mother who is house bound. Mum was happy to see optician by herself. She was pleased with optician and process of examination. As mum was not accompanied by any friend or family member, I feel she was possibly pursuaded into making purchases she didn't necessarily need. The cost of items seem rather high, and the 28 day waiting time for 2 pairs of glasses is rather long. I don't know if I would recommend them, purely on cost
i. w.
Superb service. Gemma the optician who carried out mum's test was so lovely, thorough and helpful. Would recommend this service to anyone with elderly parents who struggle to get out and about.
A. H.
I arranged the appointment for my housebound 85yr old Mum. She was delighted not to have to struggle to the optician. In her words, it was the best eye test she’d ever received. The optician was very thorough and very nice. She is now awaiting delivery of her spectacles.
Thank you.
d. K.
Every aspect of the home visit was excellent. The optician was so competent, clearly spoken and skillful that we could not have wished for better. Her advice was most welcome. This home visit was such a relief as my husband is housebound.
R. L. R.
Ellie came to see 94 year old Mrs Flint. We couldn’t have been happier with the total professionalism, kindness, patience and duty of care she provided. It’s hard to deal with people at this age but Ellie was nothing but the best. Got the job done, listened to Mrs Flint without it seeming like it was rushed. Very good can’t say a bad word or even search for any fault, first class
J. O.
I was very reserved about having eye tests done at home. Within minutes my worries were gone.
Making an appointment for us both was easy and for the following week. An excellent Optician arrived and soon laid all her equipment out in the house. Photographs were taken of the back of our eyes. Everything was tested correctly and l was able to sit in my wheelchair for the whole thing.
We were then able to pick the very reasonably priced spectacles we liked, paid for them and off she went.
So far l have arranged for several friends to use them. Hopefully l will never need to go out to get my eyes tested again.
The Optician also checked to see if we had any benefits to help with costs.
Very impressed.
I. F.
Lovely lady from the Outside Clinic came to our home, arrived promptly & did my wife's eye test & took her through the choice of lenses & glasses. It was a pleasant experience for my wife, who is more or less housebound & on home oxygen. The cost isn't more than we expected. Very satisfied.
S. S.
All good was kept up to date at all times
My Dad had a comprehensive eye test and was very happy with the result

D. G.
I found the whole experience really good and I would recommend it to anyone who has difficulty getting out
.
L. B.
From first point of contact until after the eye test the lovely staff were friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone use outside clinic if they are unable to attend an optician. Gemma the optician who attended was thorough and explained everything very clearly and my daughter felt very relaxed during the test which was exactly what we were looking for. Thanks again. Brilliant service.
S. B.
Mum had both hearing and eyesight tests and was completely satisfied with your service. I found your telephone staff to be very professional and friendly - AND easy to get through to, even at really busy times. Many thanks.
R. F.
Fabulous eye testing experience. The team were very professional. Yet, very friendly and put me at ease immediately. Everything went very smooth all the way to choosing the glasses and the actual delivery. The follow-up appointment to ensure they fitted perfectly. This being the final step of the high level of customer service the company operates as their ethos. I highly recommend Outside Clinic to all.
T. P.
This very useful service saved me the almost impossible task of taking my 98-year-old mum to an optician. the whole process worked very well and although mum's advanced Alzheimer's caused a few problems, the optician dealt with her very well. It was very interesting to see her kitchen converted into an optician's consulting room. The optician said her distance vision was fine and a new prescription was not required, but new reading glasses would be beneficial. There was a wide variety of frames to choose from and no particular pressure was applied in order to make a sale. We have ordered new lenses and frames for a very reasonable price.
a.
A wonderful experience with this company and Bibi was a caring and understanding person when dealing with my elderly Mother! Very thorough examination as well 👍
R. K.
This was my first experience of Outside Clinic and I was unsure what to expect. I need not have worried! The appointment was easy to make, the optometrist who came to our home was both professional and friendly, her equipment was elegant and unobtrusive and, to cap it all, she was able to dispense a new pair of spectacles on the spot. No push. No high prices. I particularly liked the mobile test for glaucoma which was much easier than the 'shop' version. The glasses arrived on schedule and the field-of-vision test, which required another appointment (again in our home) was decidedly superior. Altogether very pleased.
T. S.
The optometrist Jason was competent, efficient, knowledgeable. considerate, at all times professional answering all my questions to my satisfaction and confirmed a one hour time slot with me before the appointment.
N. W.
I can’t praise Hamish enough, he was great! He arrived on time, totally prepared, extremely knowledgeable and put my 96 year old father at ease straight away. The Outside Clinic took all the difficulty and anxiety of getting my dad an eye test for which I am very grateful!
L. E.
This is the first time my elderley mother has used this service as she can no longer get to the Opticians. The service she recieved was excellent from talking to the advisors who were very helpful to the Optician who carried out a very thorough eye test and was extremeley patient and professional. Arranging the appointment was easy and I was informed when the Glasses were ready to be posted out..
My Mother is extremeley pleased with her new glasses has requested me to say a big Thank You.
S. B.
Although we had to wait a bit longer than we had expected for our appointment it was worth the wait. Very pleasent and professional optician. We both thought the eye test was extremely thorough and the choice of frames much more comprehensive than we expected from a home visit. Would recommend the service despite the wait which is the only reason we have not given 5 stars.
N. B.
After sitting in with my elderly mother for this eye test, I was super impressed by the optician, professional, friendly, helpful and understanding. Pointing us to the necessary help needed, to better my mothers eyesight, nothing was too much trouble and the optician was careful and took the time it took to provide excellent service. Would 100% recommend. The NHS are second to none, up against some extreme situations in this troubled world. Hats of to this in home eye test service, for extremely vulnerable people. Very grateful.
K. W.
I was really impressed by this service. The optician was kind, patient, genuine and very professional. He was able to offer the full range of services, but in the home, including a very comprehensive selection of frames to choose from! For my father who would have struggled to get to the optician, this was an invaluable service and I am extremely grateful.
L. S.
My elderly Mother had both a hearing test and an eye test and both were absolutely brilliant. As we had never heard of them we booked tests hoping they would be ok, and thank goodness we did as the service was superb and extremely professional, Can't recommend highly enough.
S. L.
It the first time I used outside clinic and my 92 year old dad was very happy with how much time the young man spent with him. And how he gave him a thorough eye test .so very happy with all the young man did thank you very much.
j. k.
This is the first time i have used Outside Clinic. for my eye test. I found them very good and was to my satisfaction. I would definately use them again. Thank you.
B. H.
Whilst the eye test was carried out to our satisfaction, we were shocked to find out that an elderly man was sold glasses at an extortionate price. In hindsight a family member should have been in attendance. Lesson learnt.
G. J.
I am happy with the sevice which was done smoothly and professionally.
m. D.
I booked this for my 89 year old father. I didn't know what to expect but I needn't have worried. The young man was polite and courteous and extremely professional. The level of care and various tests were no different to visiting an opticians in person. It was identified his eyesight had changed, I know this to be correct as my father reported new difficulties with his sight. He purchased new glasses for £10 and they will be sent to his home, already measured and fitted. Having just had a stroke my father would never have been able to visit an optician. What an amazing service this is, thank you so much
G. B.
I can't thank them enough for first class service very friendly very smart can't fault them I recommend them to any body who wants their eyes testing or hearing George Beacham
B. T.
Eye test carried out thoroughly and efficiently. Glasses not due to arrive yet so cannot give review on those yet
P. B.
My experience of Outside Clinic was very impressive. A lovely young man came to test my Mum's eyes. She has recently had a stroke and cannot speak. He was patient, he spoke to my Mum direct, not over her like so many do. He was thorough and gentle. He explained everything he was doing and gave encouragement to her. I felt very at ease with him and so did my Mum.
k. t.
good service but £150 for frame is over the top.
m. h.
i am writing this review on behalf of my disabled husband. due to many health conditions he is unable to get to a opticians in store. so he had a home visit with outside clinic. his eye test was done brilliantly , was explained exactly everything about his eyes and given a prescription for us to obtain glasses for him. the optician was a very nice polite gentleman. he is a credit to your company . would recommend outside clinic to anyone that is entitled to us it .
C. S.
The service was excellent. Jennifer was extremely efficient and very pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble and I was totally satisfied that nothing had been missed in my eye examination. I could recommend the Outside Clinic as a marvellous service with caring people.
D. K.
Very thorough, took his time to explain every step of the examination to my Aunt ..
She was very pleased with him after he left .He made her feel at ease .very pleasant,.This serves vital for the people who are house bound .,So pleased it exists
D. G.
My first eye test in my home was an excellent experience. My optician arrived at or very near the promised time, even though he was very busy. He was so pleasant and efficient and carried out the test so easily in spite of other clients waiting. I hope to receive my glasses within the 3 weeks as promised.
C. B.
I wanted to say how delighted I was with the service provided by the Outside clinic. My parents are very elderly and housebound and they were visited today for an eye test. My mum was very apprehensive and my dad feared a hard sell. Steven the optician was delightful - calm, reassuring, and personable. He dealt with my dads deafness and my mums nerves with kindness, humour and professionalism. I cant thank Steven enough for his visit today, he put all our worries to one side. Thank you
c. T.
Very well run service. The lady was very covid secure and treated my mum so professionally. Mum has memory problems and the lady dealt with her so well. Service was amazing, eye test, choosing glasses within your own home which was so good, just waiting for glasses to arrive now.
R. D.
Excellent service. Tested my wife at home who is bedridden. They’ve got all the gear just as in an optician’s shop including eye pressure equipment. Ali was very caring. Set up electronic screen and went through all the tests. Finally prescribed to remove her double vision and bluriness. Glasses are no more expensive possible even cheaper than competition eg Specsavers. Quality of glasses frames looks excellent. There was no charge for eye test as she is of retirement age.
c. H.
Great service. Pleasant gentleman that talked me through the whole prosses of the eye test. I suffer form really high anxiety and struggle around people, I felt comfortable and calm throughout
Thank you so much and looking forwards to receiving my new glasses.
Kind regards,
Christopher Hartwell.
P. D.
Excellent service. The optician was very helpful and patient dealing with my 96 year old mother.
She explained clearly what she was going to do which put my mother at ease. Glasses arrived on time with a phone call telling us when they would arrive. No hesitation in recommending the outsideClinic .

I am writing on behalf of my elderly mother who had a home eye test last week. Stephen Beak, the optician who visited, was fantastic. He was very patient and answered all of our questions regarding my mother's condition in very simple to understand terms. He had all the equipment necessary and was Covid compliant. I would thoroughly recommend this service for those patients who cannot easily get to their high street opticians.

I'm 95 and housebound during these difficult times and I desperately needed my eyes tested. From my first email, the service was excellent and that continued throughout. Thank you Outside Clinic.

My mum is not mobile and the Outside Clinic came to her home to do an eye test. I was very surprised at how thorough it was, with eye photo, eye pressure test and a sight test like you get at an optician's. Jasmine was excellent at putting mum at her ease

Very professional home eye test from a courteous agent - cannot fault the experience. However, before arranging an appointment, clearer details of terms would have been helpful. At the test, I discovered that hip replacements may not qualify for a free test. Furthermore, my test was not due for another month. I could have waited, travelled to a local optician. and saved the agent a very long journey. Otherwise, excellent service, thanks.

My wife has been bed bound for nearly four years and during that time she has developed a wariness of strangers and visitors.Because of this she was a little worried about fairly close contact with a stranger examining her eyes.She was instantly put at ease by the young(and very handsome)opthalmologist who explained what the procedures were and what to expect.I was amazed at his ability to reassure her so quickly and to assess her vision without fuss.In my ninety years I have seldom met anyone as kind and considerate as this young professional and I hope we get him next year.

Excellent service that was very professional and thorough. They performed all the eye testing you would get at the opticians and even had glass frames for you to try on.
My only slight criticism was that the cheapest frames were still £75 so could do with a selection of cheaper frames.

My mum had an at home eye test. The optician was very professional and put my mum at ease. All tests done. The amazing bit was a pop up brief case with lots of glasses to chose from. Will definitely recommend
