I have a high prescription and my first occasion using Webb, Lucas & Stubbs could not have been any better. This is a superb optician and whatever your needs, you'll be in the very best hands and be assured of a warm, friendly service.

I started coming here 20 years ago when my son of 10 was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. They are a recommended Optometrist for eye examinations in people with Type 1 Diabetes. They were excellent with Josh, then my I took my daughter Sadie and older son Sam who needed glasses. Same as with Josh dealt with wonderfully, Sadie gets anxiety and very nervous about her eyes, as she also suffers with Kerakatonis. She is made to feel very welcomed, calm and relaxed, and she would not go anywhere else. Ihave now needed glasses myself for reading for the last 6/7 years so I too am now a client.
All Opticians technicians and staff are very professional very helpful friendly and caring. Due to past job I had to go to a well known high street Opticians. Nowhere near the standard and service of Webb and Lucas in Stafford. Thank goodness it was brief and I am now back. They take their time, and care to fully test your eyes, listen to you and help you with your choice of glasses or lenses etc. My family and I will always continue to go here. Thank you all for excellent care and service at each visit. Diana and Sadie 🏆💐
