Why Choose Daybell & Choo

Testimonial 1

Having worn glasses for over 40 years this was by far the best experience I have had with an optician. I was impressed with the advanced technology used that I have not seen with any mainstream optician previously. What stood out for me also was the care and attention to detail and time taken to explain everything clearly during my appointment with Simon. This demonstrated to me that the team really do care and value you as a customer.

I would like to recommend Daybell&Choo on their exceptional high class investigative eye solutions, especially Simon who spent a very long time establishing my actual sight prescription but discovered a slight flaw, that needed hospital attention, with one of my eyes. His patience and endeavours to discover this flaw and find a solution were truly excellent and need highlighting as the service was truly inspiring. Now have to wait and see what the hospital have to report on my condition. Mrs A

Delighted with the service here. I was really struggling to choose new frames, and Sophie was incredibly helpful. Opticians are thorough and the choice of frames and lenses is extensive.
