Giles Opticians in short

Giles Opticians is a small practice on Market Street with an urgent-eye-condition slot through the local NHS scheme. With no website, the Google listing carries the address and phone. The NHS leaflet confirms the Market Street address for urgent bookings. Our verdict is that it suits residents who want a neighbourhood practice with an NHS urgent route.

Customer reviews are warm, with a 4.7 rating from 28 Google reviews. The NHS leaflet lists the practice for urgent eye care. That listing is what sits behind its NHS standing.

What counts against Giles Opticians is thin detail: services, hours and prices cannot be read online, and no insurance details are published. The Google listing remains the only public source of its address and phone.
