Has anyone any experience with Tariq at Purely Spectacles, please?
I need a spare pair of prescription sunglasses. Thanks.

Brilliant I used Browns for 30 odd years and for a pair of rimless varifocals and photochromic lenses I’ve paid over £500 ,got designer ones with the same spec for £230.

I have a pair of designer sunglasses and Tariq fitted new prescription lenses. Delighted with the price and quality.

Highly recommended, we've been using them for a number of years. Excellent on price and service.

Are so saying you couldn’t find the shop? if so you go up the steps from the middle of the market square the shop is right down at the far end on the left hand side.

I got my specs from Tariq
Superb job, service, professionalism, everything, at a great price too. Great bloke - I will be back there for my next pair! Many thanks, pal!

Does Tariq do glasses at circa £1500 per pair?

Bet he wish he does. No, but very high standard - probably the same, for a fraction of the cost.

Sounds like a nice guy selling quality at a fraction of the price of high street opticians.
Less overheads I suppose and probably offers a good professional personal service. I would use him if I still lived in Burnley.
