Advantages: Effiecient Service, Reasonable prices

Disadvantages: You could see other people in the same glasses- They went to Specsavers too

I have always gone to Specsavers. I suppose it's habit really. I started taking my children there when they were small. They've grown up and defected to other opticians, but I'm nothing if not loyal.

You'll find a branch in just about any high street large or small. It will be airy and clean. The staff will friendly and helpful in an "I'm paid to be friendly and helpful sort of way". That's Ok cos I'm the one whose paying.

The eye test will be very efficient. The Optician will explain the whole process as it proceeds. They will even raise seemingly unrelated issues " I suggest you have your cholesterol checked" which they can detect while examining your eyes. They will then explain any improvement or deterioration in matter of fact plain English.

So far so good. Staff will then direct you to the bewildering array of frames available to you, explaining any vouchers or special offers (there are always special offers). They will offer style advice if you insist, but it's best to cart a friend along with you. Take someone who knows your lifestyle and personality.

They will tell you how much - it's always more than you thought it would be, cos the normal rules of mathematics don't seem to work when it comes to glasses (at any opticians). They measure you, order your specs, you return in a day or so get fitted, hey presto your kitted!

It's all very clinical which is no surprise - it's an opticians!

Summary: You want glasses? go to Specsavers
