Specsavers Opticians Reviews

I telephoned my local Specsavers opticians requesting an appointment for my daughter-in-law who is totally deaf without speech and communicates through sign language, as she required an eye test before purchasing new glasses. This I was given. As, to her disadvantage, I had attempted to interpret for her with my ...  Read the complete review

Today, I visited teh Specsavers store in Crawley with the intention of ordering one set of varifocal contact lenses, and a pair of glasses. I had had an eye test at the store earlier this month. I selected a pair of spectacles with rimless frames and thin polycarbonate lenses at a price of £169.00. I was advised that my ...  Read the complete review

I have had contact lenses for 5 years now, and glasses before that. Specsavers were great with my glasses, but my contacts? Mess up afer mess up! Lenses weren't ordered; the wrong lenses were ordered; my prescription could not be found. The staff (and I never saw the same person twice) were rude and dismissive, in ...  Read the complete review

Since I can remember I've always been a Boots Optician's girl but finding their prices on the increase I decided to slum it and see if I could find a cheaper but still fashionable bargain at SpecSavers. Every Optician looks the same - lots of glasses & plenty of mirrors. Someone has put far more thought into the layout ...  Read the complete review

The following was told to me by a friend, but the ratings are from my own personal experiences with Specsavers which are just as good. Sue was made redundant in March and wanted to have her eyes tested before starting a job in an office. She suspected that using her computer a lot had damaged her eyes. A few months ago she ...  Read the complete review

I've been wearing glasses since I was in primary school, so I have seen quite a few different opticians all over the country, both small independent opticians and large chains. My whole experience at SpecSavers was fantastic. I got an appointment next day (a Saturday) which is hard to do. I got seen straight away, there was ...  Read the complete review

I've been a customer of Specsavers for many years now, after a 8 year spell with another optical chain. My main motivation for the move was price: Specsavers gave me two pairs of complete spectacles for less than the price of one from my previous practitioners. The service is always friendly and helpful at my two ...  Read the complete review

I finally gave in and decided when I was about 17 that the school eye tests just weren't enough and that I would get my eyes properly checked as I was still in full time education and didn't have to fork out for an eyetest at that time! I made my appointment at Specsavers in Caerphilly (S.Wales). My Dad has always used ...  Read the complete review

You know it’s time to get some new glasses when the ones you have become violently opposed to sudden movement, hurling themselves to the ground in a temper whenever you turn your head in a way they disapprove of. That’s what my old gold-rimmed John Lennons started to do. Very childish of them, I know, and at the ripe old age ...  Read the complete review

I had to find an opticians quickly - I had a job interview and my contact lens had split in 2. My opticians were 200 miles away, and I wasn't about to go to a promising interview wearing my unfashionable, jam-jar lensed glasses. I was walking through Liverpool city centre and just walked into SpecSavers. I was a bit wary, as ...  Read the complete review

I have had several bad experiences with this incompetent company. I've worn Glasses all my life, and tried to Contact lenses for a couple of years. The service was very good, until about four years ago. Here are my personal experiences: 1. A couple of years ago, whilst on the monthly replacement scheme, they swapped my ...  Read the complete review

I used to have contact lenses from Boots, at a cost of twenty pounds per month. I recently switched to specsavers and am now paying only twelve pounds a month, the service was just as helpful (less busy in fact) and carried out in a much friendlier fashion. Add to that the fact that my savings in contact lenses money over a year will pay ...  Read the complete review

I wear both contacts and glasses and get them both supplied from Specsavers Opticians.I find that I'm not wearing my contacts as much as I should be so I wanted to reduce the type of package I have so that I'm not wasting so much money. I have the Easyvison lenses which are supplied to me on a three monthly basis at the ...  Read the complete review

I was short of cash and desperately needed a new pair of glasses, so with some misgivings I went to Specsavers. I say misgivings as I have had glasses from there before and I was not impressed with the glasses or the fitting. I found a pair for £45 (a real bargain) and went to order them. The order took ages to process ...  Read the complete review

I am a great fan of specsavers, not least because they really do save you money but because their staff are so freindly and not too over bearing. I have been a regualar at specsavers for about 2 years, after trying other one hour specs places but not always being happy with the results. The best thing about specsavers ...  Read the complete review

SpecSavers was the opticians I went to after having a bad experience at Boots opticians (read my opinion there fore more details of the story). It was completely different. I had to wait a bit longer for my apintment because they were very busy (which I took to be a good sign - all those people are unlikely to be wrong), but once I was ...  Read the complete review

I have been wearing glasses since I was a boy (over thirty years) and have tried many opticians in my time, and can honestly say that Specsavers are the best. I recently went for my two-yearly eye test and it was even more thorough than usual. My prescription had slightly changed so I had to have new specs. Then I did ...  Read the complete review

I've been going to Specsavers for a few years now, I keep going back as they offer good value with excellant service. Once you are a registered customer, having done an eye test, they will send you a card every couple of years reminding you that an eye test is due. Unlike other opticians they don't discount the eye test, ...  Read the complete review

Needing my eyes tested I wondered where I would go. Should I try a local Optician? I did try to book one but any I rang couldn’t see me for at least a fortnight. So I decided on Specsavers and I am really glad I did. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about all their stock and helpful when it came to picking the ...  Read the complete review

Specsavers has completely changed the whole process of going to the opticians. They are the "McDonalds" of the glasses industry. I bought my last pair of glasses there. They were unbelievably cheap, and I got a free pair of prescription sunglasses. They were ready the same day, and the service was excellent. However a ...  Read the complete review
