Service was great, however not a great choice of frames and the lenses are very expensive. I ended up with frames I don’t really like

Very pleased with service. Disappointed with the upkeep of your premises especially in the room where my eyes were tested. Bits insecure on trunking that hold electrical sockets, and generally in need of refurbishment.

The eye and hearing test was OK. When it came to choosing glasses, for a first timer I was not told that I could have taken my prescription else where and done a price comparison. I felt I was contained in the shop to buy their own products, which I feel was over priced !

Helpful, friendly staff, but sadly not managed to remedy my issues. I've ended up going to major chain optician and have a new (corrected) prescription. Prices much more expensive than (e.g.) Specsavers and poor range of frames by comparison.

I think the glasses prices are too high .I would have liked to have able to order a pair the the prices are too high. Your competition has less prices on the glasses and lenses.

My eye test appointment was at 4.30pm later in the working day. I arrived well beforehand. The eye test itself I was more than satisfied. However when choosing my first pair of glasses I felt very rushed. My glasses have yet to arrive which I’m very apprehensive that they are going to sit correctly and be comfortable.

I make these comments in respect of 2 recent visits to the shop. I found that both the hearing and sight professionals were very good and made me feel at ease. However, whilst there can be no direct criticism being directed at the shop front staff, I found them rather aloof and not really welcoming. In fact on my first visit, I had to stand and wait for a while whilst 2 members of staff finished a conversation.

I went for my NHS regular eyetest to check the health of my eyes. The optometrist took my details and history and immediately started an eye test. Although I was told several times that I didn’t need glasses, I felt pressured that reading glasses with a prescription would improve my vision. I reminded the optometrist at the end that I had come because wanted my eye health and a glaucoma pressure test done. This was all completed and I left.

Had text message saying glasses ready to collect. Tried them on and they were not as ordered - mix up. I ordered readers and given distance!! Not impressed as waited days to receive wrong glasses and now waiting to receive correct glasses, and in the meantime I’ve struggled with off the peg glasses. No mention of speedy dispatch or refund made by assistant. In the past I’ve received very good service for glasses and hearing aids. What a pity this record has been spoiled. Trevor Lewis

Not happy with service. Had to chase store to find if my new glass had come in. When I picked up my new glasses I said at time they were not right. Was sent home to try and a week later I was back in store. They had to return for alternations to lenses. Just not a good overall service.

Customer service could do with improving, not that friendly on front desk. Also you pay extortionate amount for the cheapest pair of glasses possible and scrivens have even managed to save on their glass cases by making them out of plastic.

My spectacles from the previous year were porr quality and just did not stay on, so I was anxious to change. Recent eye test, new optician, all seemed to go well and was promising. Some extra care on frame choice too made it feel it could be different. The physical arrival was a bit of a mess, and then when I got the specs the prescription was not quite right-a downgrade from where I was. However the “old”pair were so awful that I have decided to keep the new ones, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY STAY ON.

You supplied me with some varifocal glasses last week and I am tryung to get used to them. The intial prblem was that I had to make my eyes look down further than normal to benefit from the reading sector. So, at the Ashby shop the lady adjusted the height on my nose and the formerproblem has gone away but the distance sector goes blurred looking through at normal long distance head position. I am not sure that I can get used to this. William Moore
