Always thought this was really lovely little opticians with a great selection of glasses. My previous experience has been positive with colleagues going out of their way to help chose frames.
I needed help to replace my glasses following a recent burglary. Was planning to purchase the new glasses from here but the second “insurance” was mentioned really didn’t seem to want to help me. Really disappointed.

I have been with TINSONS since 1987. I have always found them very professional and caring. Their service is excellent. Over the years there have been various optometrists.
