Arnold Booden Unique Eyefashion

This opticians’ came highly recommended by Unilocalers I trust. Arnold was lovely as was his dog Coco — named after Chanel; the glasses I happened to love and purchase from him! He is a charismatic larger-​than-​life character that I warmed to instantly.
It’s been a long time since I have been to an opticians and he had a computer that estimated the prescription before he manually check it and tweaked it which made the appointment relatively quick and allowed more focus time on the precise tweaking as needed.
He recommended the glasses, I eventually bought, straight away! The ones he picked out for me to try were perfect and he said he chose them as the colour complimented my eyes and frame matched up with my eyebrow and face shape. He clearly is an expert in both eyewear style and fashion!
They have a text service to let you know when the glasses are ready to pick up. I got lucky as my frames and lens were in stock so I got a text within an hour/​hour and a half to say they were ready and picked them up the next day.
Arnold also asked about my insurance and checked his list and made an extra copy of the receipt for me to claim back ⁵⁰⁄₁₀₀ euros on the cost.
I highly recommend him and now wouldn’t go anywhere else.

After reading another Unilocaler’s review I went in to check the place out as I’m considering new glasses. The selection is really fantastic and the owner was incredibly nice and patient.
They have a great selection of glasses that can be made to order and some 60 colors/​designs from which to choose. The downside is that it’s super expensive — prices start at around 650EUR for a complete pair of glasses, so not sure I can afford to go back!
For the allergic/​easily grossed out: the shop does have an intense smell of cigarettes, which is more off-​putting than the prices ;)
