"May I thank everyone from Dr Frampton to Laura who fitted me up to the glasses I specifically had in mind to Andrea who give her professional advice assisting with my decision in obtaining the glasses I wanted, this resulted in immediate repeat business, buying a present for my wife, a pair of Meta Ray Ban and why not a pair of Meta Ray Ban for myself, getting prescription lenses in those ones in time for Christmas, finally thanks to Gayle for the hand over of the Ray Ban, they are a game changer, I’m so thankful I have a great professional team that’s been looking after me for this last 8 years, all the best everyone."

"While on holiday in Bonny Northumberland I had the misfortune to wake up with a sudden onset of floaters. Knowing this could potentially be serious I contacted Aaron's and was seen that morning as an emergency. A thorough examination by Andrew put my mind at rest. And saved me waiting hours to be seen in Eye Emergency Dept in the RVI. Wonderful practice with super friendly staff who went above and beyond. Thanks again to everyone there."

“I attended Aarons Opticians in Ashington last week for a long overdue eye test, hoping for the best but knowing deep down that some form of lenses were required. And I have to say that the whole experience was consummately professional from start to finish...
