Specsavers

AVOID!
Worst customer service ever, very inconsiderate, rude and unprofessional. Long story short, I booked an urgent appointment on the phone since i had accidentally dropped my contacts down in the sink, showed up 15 early they told me that the appointment on the computer is actually booked an hour later (no apologising whatsoever and was treaded like i’m the stupid one). Came back later since i really desperately needed contact lenses for the next day, i was 5 mins late for my «real appointment» they said they cancelled it because I’m late and cannot do anything to help. May be other branches are better, but I definitely do not people like their staff in my life.

Ugh, my glasses. The bane of my existence…
Actually, not really, I kind of like the way I look in glasses. That being said, I don’t like shopping for glasses. Pain in the ass, which is why I’ve had the same pair for years and they’ve gone completely out of style and are now the wrong prescription. (I’ll later learn my eyes have actually gotten better. Crap, wait, spoiler alert.)
There was a Specsaver near me and they were running some sort of two-​for-​one deal, so that was a win. I went in to get this whole process started and it turns you need to make an appointment. Cool, I’ll be back tomorrow.
Back again I was and I checked in. I sat for about five minutes before they pulled me in. I had the full spectrum done — eye test (which I got for free because I’m a diabetic, so… win?) and then the picking of the frames. I couldn’t find two pairs I liked, so they gave me the scratch-​proofing and glare-​resisting for free instead as part of the deal. Nice.
They didn’t have my lenses in so I had to come back in about five days to pick them up. They were ready to go when I got there and they fitted them on my face… Only, not very well as they kept sliding down my nose. So I had to go back a few days later to get them fixed again, which they did almost at once, and now they fit snug as a glove… or glasses, I guess.
There’s no warmth here or nothing flashy or amazing. But it’s good service and they get the job done quickly. Sometimes that’s all you can ask.

These guys are quite good. You can get your eyes checked and if it turns out you need glasses they usually have specials on frames, like two for one.
