I had been wearing reading glasses for the last two years. So after a few reminded from Chesterfield branch I booked an eyetest in July. After the test I was offered glasses stronger than the reading glasses I use. I had been unable to wear the prescription glasses because there are to strong. I feel disappointed with the original eyetest.

Hi my name is Paul, I live in Leicester but have just visited your site in Bethnal Green London as my 85 year old mother in law damaged her glasses, one of your customer service team, Micheala popescu asked if I needed help and I explained the problem, she took the glasses and replaced the missing screw cleaned them and handed them back in no time at all, she was very polite and helpful and when I asked how much she said it’s fine no charge, she did all this whilst being rudely abused by another customer, for no reason that I could see, and I’d just like to say how refreshing to meet someone who is conscientious about her job and she is a credit to you, so thanks again Micheala and have a very merry Christmas!

Just to say thankyou specsavers home visit, my elderly parents who are house bound through ill health, have just phoned me delighted with your service, their new specs were delivered by a lady dressed as Santa's claus, two very lonely people overjoyed by your service. many many thanks

Went because of severe eye pain in left eye for 6 days and could not even eat for one day Could not work both of my two working days on pc or watche tv as was in so much pain in left eye visitred Specsavers opticians with them prior knowledge of my problem that what was I was there for. I paid extra for Glaucoma test being 67 years old. All I got back wasI was fine, eye sight good drye eyes (bought recommened solution) They asked how many different types of glasses did I require? They were not interested in anything other than selling me more glasses A & E Mansfield They found the problem. Removed it . No Profit here. God save A & E and the NHS. Phoned specsaver manager Mr Nerhra who agreed more should of been done, the problem should of been detected. Offered a £10 refund which he thought would solve the matter. i declined, that was not the point. i just wanted better care for the everybody not just money making.

I was insulted by the receptionist on the phone, they refused to make an appointment for my child, spec savers makhado crossing, those ladies are unprofessional and I called requesting an appointment for my child and instead of them explaining that they were fully booked they exchanged phones yelling and calling me names. They level of disrespect is out of tgis world .

If I could give -10 I would. Worst ever customer (no service) experience ever. Guisborough branch, should be ashamed of yourselves. Just interested in taking your money. Shocking , go somewhere that deserves your custom.

Should be a minus star!!! I am still waiting for my prescription sunglasses that my local branch have had since November last year. Stuck in a drawer for over 3 months!!! Then reordered with me paying extra for high index lenses, that was April 2022. No contact with branch so phoned them in August to be told it was a Lost Order and they were waiting for me to give them the go ahead to reorder!!! I’m not telepathic, no one phoned to tell me that it was lost. So they reordered on 25th August and today 8th December I phoned to ask where my glasses were, only to be told that it was a Lost Order and they were waiting for me to give them the go ahead to reorder. You couldn’t make it up. Like a comedy show and they constantly tried to make out it was my fault in the first place. Be interesting to see how long it takes for this new reorder to come! Watch this space!!!

Youv'e seen the adverts, Specsavers Home Visit. I contacted the company about a home visit, as I am unable to get to the store that repeatedly sends me letters saying I'm due another test. I was asked if I can go outside on my own or have to be accompanied, I said I could go out on my own; then they said I don't qualify. I have now made an appointment to see Boots Opticians.

phoned for appt for my son as they sent letter, which is ok. i was asked if my son knew i was making his appointment........which i found odd. as usual with this firm the customer service comes second to them making money . i will try another firm from now on.

This company are the worst ever for the home eye care team. They took a lot of my money in a living crisis and no glasses a month later. Not one call returned. Robbing the disabled and ignore they exist once they take your money for glasses that never appeared and calls never returned.

Eye test fine. Now bought from you three times, every time both pairs fell apart within six months. I paid twice for replacements at £259 for one pair each time! They also fell apart and could not be repaired. I think you need to steer clear of glued/tacked cheap frames. They have brand names but not the quality. Sorry but I wii try elsewhere from now on.

If there was a MINUS ONE star I could give I would. I’ve had the worse opticians experience I have ever had in the Enfield branch. Starting from my initial appointment being delayed 1 hour after my appointment and an eye test taking 2 hours in total to then being extremely rude on the phone when they eventually answered the phone! The never pick up the phone. Then when I rang ahead to make sure they were ready for collection and they confirmed they were I went there to only find they had LOST my expensive frame I left to have their lenses put in and they have yet to get back to me regarding where they are. AVOID this branch as they don’t seem to know what they’re doing and are extremely unprofessional and rude!

Had the Pleasure to attend the Monaghan Branch in Ireland for the first time, and what an amazing experience that was. Extremely polite, helpful, and professional Team. Nothing was too much trouble.

Purchased glasses from specsavers Birkenhead may 2022. Only used them for watching TV. They actually fell to pieces in November. One of the arms fell off. I went back to the shop to see if anything could be done as i didn't break them The arm just fell off. I was told they were unrepairable and I would have to pay for a new frame. I just told them to put them in the bin. Not happy with the service. Will never use them again and will stick with my local opticians. Would not recommend.

I've phoned the Fitzroy Street branch of Specsavers 3 times over as many days to arrange to collect my new glasses. Always busy, but a return call promised. It hasn't come. This happened last year too. Yesterday I sent an email asking for an appointment, again no reply and I have sent another. Very poor and disappointing customer service; I shall go elsewhere next time I need an optician and certainly won't recommend this store to others. Poor show.

Minus One star. Rotherham specsavers used to be good. My bus was a no show. Next bus late. I rang specsavers to say why I'm going to be a few minutes late. I ran to the shop. I'm 62 with asthmatic symptoms. Also have autism. The staff woman in the shop didn't give a s**t why I was breathless just kept telling me to re book. My stress levels were causing a meltdown. Someone needs to tell this member of staff that she doesn't actually own the company. Her attitude stank.

I've been going back and to, to Mold Specsavers saying my prescription is wrong. Jack the manager didn't believe me, I had an eye test and the optician agreed with him nothing was wrong. I visited another optician last week had an eye test and found my prescription had improved, hence that's why I was sliding my glasses down my nose and my eyes were very irritated wearing my contact lenses. In the past years I've had congenital fourth nerve palsy successfully corrected at Walton. Earlier this year Jack blamed my eyesight changing on not having height measurement in my glasses and decided to incorporate this into my lenses. This also I've learnt to be incorrect, then he proceeded to ask me if I was diabetic.
