Title: OPTICIANS
Post by: mickandmarlene on July 01, 2012, 12:24:35 PM
Wondered if anybody could recommend a good optician locally for contact lenses.   Have heard that the one in Albox near Mercadona is very expensive and not a particularly good service.
Thanks for your help

Why not shop around, there aren't that many. Ask for prices and test the customer service, recommendations are not always the answer.

I don't know why we bother to put serious subjects on this forum anymore when you get the likes of Cantabrian making stupid and childish remarks.   If you haven't got anything constructive to say it would be better if you kept your sarcasim to yourself.   Were you ever told that sarcasim is the lowest form of wit?!!   I for one am getting so fed up with stupid people who have got nothing better to do that act like kids in a schoolyard - grow up or keep off the forum!!!

Personally I thought  the opticians next to Mercadona were extremely helpful and very very professional. They even gave me a months free contact lenses. I would definitely go there every time.
