Great experience at Windsor Specsavers…

Great experience at Windsor Specsavers store. Merlyn performed my eye test kindly and efficiently. Chandra was patient and professional and I am very happy with the glasses I choose with her advice, they are stylish and great value for money. When I went back to ask for my glasses before the delivery date I was originally given and they made sure to get them delivered the next day. All the staff involved was so kind and understanding and couldn’t do enough to help.

Disappointed with Quality and Lack of Response

I bought a pair of Tommy Hilfiger glasses from Specsavers just over a year ago (£210). Although I don’t wear them every day, I’ve had to return almost every other week to have the left arm tightened, while the right arm has never needed adjustment.

I was told this was “wear and tear,” but that seems unlikely given the consistent problem on only one side. I’ve looked after the glasses carefully, and this repeated issue makes me feel the frame is faulty.

I also sent an email to customer service asking for clarification, but it has gone unanswered, which is disappointing and doesn’t inspire confidence in Specsavers for future purchases.

I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as the product and service so far have not met expectations for a premium-priced frame.

Specsavers Surbiton delivers

My appointment was on time. Went straight in to have my eyes tested then a very short wait for the optometrist while I had the opportunity to start looking at frames. Once selected I was guided through the pricing process without delay (using my old prescription preferences).

I was trully happy with the excellent customer service. The appointment was for my elderly mum, who speaks little Inglish, therefore she can feel anxious. The agents were very helpful, professional and very kind. Mum left happy at ease with modern new glasses.
