“I’m an awkward customer... I live a good distance away and have limited options for appointments. But... I like the people. They’re unfailingly polite, professional and very warm with it. I’ve now become used to a high standard of corrected vision, and that’s priceless.”

“The staff at Scrivens were amazing today! They made me feel at ease during my eye test and explained everything to me. I felt relaxed and able to ask questions. The member of staff who carried out the hearing test was so personable and easy to talk to. When choosing spectacles, he talked me through a wide range of options and was not at all pushy. He made me feel that he really did want to help and talked me through the price scale to enable me to find what was right for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Scrivens in Fishponds for either eye or hearing tests to anyone I know.”

“When my husband had his eye test in January the optician referred him to the eye hosp because he had cataracts, he has had one done and came to see him again for glasses to be told he couldn’t give him glasses until he had the other eye done that was in March.He was sent an appt for the 25th June but got a letter this week cancelling it we have now got to wait for another date . This is after 18 weeks .My husband still will be wanting glasses if he needs them after the second operation . This is the reason why he’s hasn’t been to order glasses and such a shame that he will miss out on the half price offers you have .”

“Worst eye test I’ve ever had. The optician was constantly surprised by my answers to his questions about the lenses he was adjusting and the end result was worse than my existing prescription. The lens-holding frames used during the test wouldn’t sit on my face properly. At the end of the exam, the optician told me I had “weird” optic nerves (but didn’t say what that meant) which required a one year recall instead of the standard two. I was so unconvinced by the exam that I went to a different optician a week later, who said they had no idea why Scrivens’ guy had said my optic nerves were weird. The wait between my main exam and supplemental tests (peripheral vision) was ridiculously long and the examination room is far too small, requiring me to shift around for the optician to be able to get to my eyes.”

“I purchased 2 pairs of glasses 11 weeks ago. I was treated so nice with the manager and her staff no problems .on collecting my glasses 5 days after order I was delighted. but both pairs had a problem with the ear pieces coming off so I went back the following day. The manager fitted new ones but with the same problem. She said she would send them back to the supplier. They were returned with both lenses scratched and supper glue all over the frames to the point they had to be replaced. again they came back with transmissions lenses. Sent back again. came back with bog standard lenses not what I paid for. Sent back again but not arrived as yet.so I asked for a refund ,I was told to e mail and they will consider. After paying £800 for 2 pairs of glasses I am totaly disgusted with scrivens,I spoke to two people one was disrespectful and the other said he would e mail me but did not. You want a review imagine the reply yours mr m hayes.”
