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

Staff friendly and helpful. However it has cost me a total of £387 to finally get glasses I can use. Bifocals are not suitable for using my iPad so after paying extra to have first pair altered I have had to buy a second pair of glasses for using the iPad. Last year at another opticians I had 3 pros glasses for half the price.

Hi. My first and only hearing test at 87 years. Rather strange at first, took a while to get accustomed to the "new" sounds but worth the effort, made me realise what I had lost. Could not have had better service and after care. Will pass the message onto others who just turn the TV up. Cheers, James Youell (Crawley)

I’ve already completed a review. I feel quite upset with Scrivens on the basis when I brought my glasses I was not made aware of the offer which was on at the time. A none customer told me, when I queried it I was told only the manager could make the decision. I rang again after the bank holiday and was told only head office could make the decision if I should receive the offer, the offer which I should have been advised of at the time of me buying my glasses. I was phoned and told as a “goodwill jester” I would be given the offer!! My concern is as a valued customer I should have been given this offer, not as a goodwill jester, but because I had brought my glasses at the time the offer was on.

Having spent close to £1000 in past two years I am hoping that the glasses I collected yesterday are more satisfactory, I am going back on Thursday to have any adjustments. none of your opticians could find any thing radically wrong with my sight' nor could New cross eye department A&E, all they can see are dry eyes and cataracts in their early stages.

Eye test went ok, but not a great deal of choice in small ladies glasses. Very few colours to choose from. I was disappointed.

Whilst my actual Eye Test this year & last was excellent. It was noticed during my Eye Test that the Prescription from last year had been processed on the Lenses incorrectly. That was obviously the reason that they seemed strange & caused me to have a fall. I had been back to the Shop a couple of times last year about this, but was fobbed off ! The Optometrist came out with me into the shop & after pointing out the mistake on previous prescription, she asked them to sort it out. So, the young lady re-checked the fitting of existing frames, made notes & started totting up £'s cost. When she got to £350+ I asked if I had to pay all of that? When she said Yes, I said forget it, left the establishment & do not feel inclined to return ever! I doubt this review will be Published 🤔

Very good option and eye test was 1st class but the after sales wasn't as personal as previously felt in store. Will definitely think twice when next due about this.

Disappointed is all I can really say. First eye test failed, second reading test failed, various suggestions made, no improvement - bearing in mind that the first eye test was towards the end of November 2019! It was mutually agreed that I could have a refund nearly THREE weeks ago and I am still waiting for it to happen. But - you gave me a hearing test that I didn't want, but apparently it is compulsory... Please can someone return my money.......
