Branch at Tesco Goodmayes

From the moment I made the appointment to being checked through the various stages I was treated with dignity and respect at the Vision Express branch in Tesco Goodmayes.
They spend the time required to answer questions and and have the patience to listen to your concerns.Very efficient team at this branch.

Customer service

I popped into Vision Express in Clapham today to have my glasses adjusted. The young lady who attended to my request was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my glasses were adjusted. Thank you so much. Wonderful customer service

Huge thanks to Anjur

Huge thanks to Anjur (apologies if I’ve misspelled) in the Gillingham Tesco branch.

I was told I needed a contact lens aftercare check as the reason for my contact lens being stopped for delivery. Turned out I also needed an eye test but the person who booked me in never told me that.

Anjur explained the issue, and completed the eye care check. She also kindly gave me some lenses as a gesture of goodwill to tide me over until my delivery (which is in a few days) and made sure the delivery would still happen. I’ve got to go back for the eye test within 2 weeks but I really appreciated her help and resolution.

Really helpful and knowledgeable staff

The eye check up was excellent and having discovered I needed new lenses I spoke with Rob, in the shop, who was wonderfully helpful - he was able to explain what sort of frame size and shape could work well with a thicker lens. He was really patient and kind. A real asset to the Vision Express brand
