BOOTS Opticians has unveiled an exciting new look for its Chester Foregate Street store, after undergoing a refurbishment to update and modernise the area.

To officially re-open the store, Sheila Little, the Lord Mayor of Chester, attended a ribbon cutting ceremony earlier this week.

The revamp is part of a wider investment programme to improve and refresh Boots Opticians across the country.

Chester customers looking to check their eye health with an eye test or find a new pair of glasses or sunglasses or try contact lenses will now have access to upgraded technology and a revamped open plan space.

As well as NHS and private eye tests, contact lens aftercare and free contact lens fitting and trials, Boots Opticians Chester offers Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) eye scans. These are cutting edge, non-invasive scans that allow the Optician to see what’s going on under the surface of the eye. It takes a couple of minutes and can help to detect underlying conditions, such as glaucoma, before any symptoms occur. 

The new look store also has a dedicated and revamped Boots Hearingcare facility, with an expert team of audiologists who can offer free hearing checks and provide advanced solutions for hearing loss.

Sarah Baylay, Store Manager at Boots Opticians Chester said: “We are delighted to show off our new refreshed store and can’t wait to welcome the people of Chester, whether they are coming in for an eye test for the first time, upgrading their frames or having a contact lens check. We hope they will love it, as much as we do!”
