 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class service throughout the entire process, very knowledgeable staff and made to feel completely at ease at all stages of the examination. The cost was surprisingly good too. I would highly recommend Ridings opticians to anybody.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient with Ridings since the business was established in Marple and have appreciated the personal attention, meticulous examinations and comprehensive advice by Nicola and her staff. I am confident that I am getting top class treatment and would not hesitate recommending Ridings for eye care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a regular Client of Ridings for a number of years. The service and person centred approach, which I have received from Nicola and her team of dedicated staff has always been excellent. I fully support local independent businesses rather then well known Opiticians with a National focus. Ridings can offer the most up to date technology and a huge range of spectacles to choose from. I would highly recommend Ridings Opticians to people looking for an efficient and professional Optician.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A warm and welcoming Opticians - and so grateful for the professional skill of Nicola. The other members of the team are also so helpful without being pushy. Finding the right specs was made easier by the helpful advice of staff.  Top marks for the care and advice received in recent years.  Keith Wood

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So glad I chose the more expensive "drivesafe" lenses. Driving at night is so much safer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Drivesafe lenses were recommended by Nicola Riding when I mentioned I no longer drove at night.  My new drivesafe glasses have transformed my confidence. I now have no problem dealing with the glare of oncoming lights and am happy to drive at night once again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service with convenient appointment times. Thorough examination of eyes is always done by friendly, knowledgeable staff who don't rush you. There's no pressure to buy, but I always have as their range of frames and lenses is excellent, including occupational lenses. I've also had new lenses put into old frames. Monthly insurance policy is worth having.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ridings provide a first class service. I had a serious eye issue. Nicola and her team helped to identify it with their diagnostic resources and professionally explained in detail what was happening and how to manage things. Thanks again for such great assistance.
