Knowing who to trust and where to go when you’re dealing with your eyeballs is often a bit daunting. Do you go to the big branches and think hmmm they’re all trained monkeys who don’t give a damn, or do you think they have the experience to pass on their expertise to their employees. Well i dunno the reason i hit up Specsavers the first time was because they were the cheapest at the time and i was a student! Their eyetests were super bargainous at a fiver and it was too good an opportunity to turn down. Some are rather snooty about Specsavers for eyetests, but i was assured by the lovely staff that this was all poppy cock, and the real test would be in how well i could see out of my lenses. Fair point. Really really helpful staff, and not overly in your face willing you to buy designer spectacles, just more interested in if you look a tool or not, because you have a big round face and should never ever wear glasses with a rounded edge to them! EVER!!! Two pairs of glasses, and an eye test, all done and dusted within a week with lots of friendly smiles, helpful information and a discussion on the possibilty of contact lenses with free trial bookings… great.
