Advantages: None

Disadvantages: VERY Incompetent and probably "dishonest" staff. Avoid them like THE PLAGUE

I had an eye test with their Oxford office. They charged me £20. Then claimed they never received this payment and refused to issue a prescription. I provided them with a receipt. They "lost" it. I posted a copy of my credit card statement which shows that they charged me £20. They claimed that they never received it.

Went to their office again. Their "manager" photocopied the credit card statement and gave me an "expired prescription" since their prescriptions are only valid for a limited
period. She also said that I need to have a new eye test. I said that this is unacceptable.

The manager then promised to give me a new free eye test a free supply of contact lenses but only when they get the lenses from their supplier.

Ten day passed - called them again to ask whether they received the lenses. They said that according to their record I still owe them £20...

The manager who dealt with my case appears to be "busy with another client" or "not in the office" every time I try to arrange a meeting or talk to her.

I asked them for the details of their head office. They said: "There is no point in contacting them. They never deal with complaints. They just forward them back to us"...

The whole saga has lasted for over six months now...

I am taking the case to THE UK TRADING STANDARDS AGENCY.

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS!!!

Summary: VERY Incompetent and probably "dishonest" staff. Avoid them like THE PLAGUE

It seems that the problem of communication here was a bad experience. However, what is important in a review on an optician is the expertise with which they tested your eyes. This really is important. Also perhaps the choice of glasses and lenses and a bit about what their pricing structure is like would enhance your review enormously. In your circumstances, I would have taken the statement as proof of payment, and I would have complained loudly until someone did listen. However, I don't understand why they did not give you the results at the time you paid, and explaining this may be helpful as well. Rachel
