Specsavers Opticians

Rather poor small branch of this opticians, in my opinion. A reasonable amount of frames to choose from (although not as many as you get in the city stores, obviously). I’ve had less-​than-​good service here a few times now. I’ve been told by a member of staff that the frames I chose were big enough for vari-​focals to be fitted but when it came to the fitting later on, the other staff member said they were too small and I’d have to choose all over again! Then, on another occasion, once I had the ‘correct’ frames, I was told that I wouldn’t need to opt for the ‘thinner’ lenses because the ordinary ones would be thin enough. Well, they turned out to be too thick, just as I’d feared, but it was too late to change my mind. Another time, the staff promised to phone me about some frames I wanted to order but they never did! So, all this is why I will try another branch of Specsavers next time I need glasses — or a different opticians altogether (I haven’t decided yet).
