Hi, you sent me a letter to ask me to fill in a form, which you said was to help you to improve your service. The letter supplied a unique ID number, in my case 334907. I logged onto your web site and filled in the box with my unique number 334907 and also filled in my date of birth 21/03/1946. Your web site informed me that I had got one of the details wrong! I checked your letter again and the ID number was definitely 334907. So I re-entered the required details again and once again was told that I had got one of the numbers wrong. I have to say that I was pretty certain that I had got my birthdate correct, so decided to try to contact you... But sadly real life took over and the one deaf aid that I had left, after having to send the other one back due to it stopping working, dropped down my list of priorities. How many stars would you recommend I give ( If I could get onto the form )? Kind Regards Mike Ayres Born 21st March 1946

I reside in Eastbourne and I had to visit the peacehaven store as there was not an available audiologist in Eastbourne at the time. Very glad I made the journey as the people there were very informative, efficient, helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this company.

After using another eyecare company for years, I decided to give Scrivens a try as it was a short walk away from my house. I booked a routine eye check even though I knew I had a glaring issue. It was confirmed by the optometrist, so she booked me in for specialist care. In May, that issue was resolved. During my 4 week follow up with that issue, it was decided to address the problem with my other eye. In August my other eye issue was resolved. After the two operations, my eyesight has returned to normal function. I want to say a massive thank you to the Leyton Scrivens branch for putting my name forward so see the specialists at Moorfields. I am forever thankful and grateful for that.

Fantastic care and service from Lynsey at the Chesterfield Market Place store. Expertly refitted my specs following my disappointment and discomfort following a fitting at another store. Would highly recommend! Customer Service as it should be.

Both my husband and I went for an eyesight test and also had the hearing test while there. A lovely atmosphere in the shop, very welcoming. We were put at our ease. Nothing was too much trouble and the emphasis was on providing us with what we wanted as individuals. Very thorough optician ensuring our eyesight health was spot on. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services here.

After having an eye examination the optician said that there was a dramatically difference in the new eye exam . Feeling very unsettled I went for a second opinion plus extra exam of the optic nerve this test was negative plus no change on my prescription . On phoning the branch at Ashby I asked for an email! Nothing . To ask who I speak to . Very upsetting experience. I shall contact the opticians on Tuesday 2nd September. I've had a 2nd opinion.

The whole experience at the New Milton branch was amazing. The staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Really good old fashioned service. It's so good to be hear now and not have to sit in near silence watching TV with subtitles.

I popped into my local Scrivens in Tilehurst yesterday, as my glasses kept slipping down slightly. I spoke with Ella and she was amazing, so friendly and offered to have a look at them for me. Ella changed the rubbers for me, check everything fitted correctly and gave my glasses a good clean. So nice that real customer service does still exist.

Hi, I was referred by my doctor to Scrivens Opticians. I saw a lovely man called Sully. He put me at ease straight away. My test showed I needed hearing aids for both ears. Sully shown me the ones available. I wanted the button type so no one would see them. Sully explained that they wasn't suitable for my loss of hearing. He shown me the range that were suitable and said to try them on because they really cant be seen. I did and was really surprised to say that I couldn't see them. Sully ordered the ones most suitable, assuring me all the way. The night before going for them I was really upset, hearing aids ! I feel so old ! When I saw Sully he was so lovely. He explained everything again and I put them on. I can honestly say, they are so comfortable and they couldn't be seen, I looked side on to make sure and they couldn't ! More to the point I can hear ! After my 3rd visit I am up and running! I forget I have them on, I even went in the shower with them on ! I forgot...no problem though they are waterproof. They are brilliant and so is Sully. A lovely genuine, trustworthy person. All the staff at the store made me feel so welcome and also gave me information to help my dry eyes. I will be going back for my eyeglasses as well as my hearing aids! The back up customer services is wonderful, 2nd to none. And...my hearing aids don't make me feel old! Because...I can hear properly now! Thank you ever so much.
