This morning I went into Timaru…

This morning I went into Timaru specsavers and was greeted by Hey. My glasses had a broken arm due to my dog getting my glasses. She very quickly found a pair of frames that fitted my lenses perfectly. She was so helpful and solved my issue very quickly . One very happy customer thanks again Hey.

Eric, Maka, and Hilary, I just wanna say they were all perfect. This was my first time getting my eyes checked and getting a glasses, it was surprisingly comfortable and their energy is just top tier. At first I thought it would be awkward, but as the conversation grew, they were enthusiastic with their jokes and stories. Love Maka for his jokes, Hilary for her stories, and Eric for his calm aura!

Specsavers Porirua couldn’t be better

Too rushed

Too rushed. Not listening to needs. Wrong assumptions - wanted single vision glasses. They assumed I wanted progressive. Optician did not allow me to speak - she did most of the talking.

Knowledgeable and trusted service & best price for 2 pairs

I've been purchasing glasses from specsavers for the last 20 years, the 2 for $299 frame deal is fantastic. At my local specsavers, the staff are friendly and listen, and there is no shortage of staff available to help with frames and adjustments. The Optometrists are qualified and knowledgeable, so I have confidence in them, and they happily answer my questions on my changing eyesight and the best lens options. They aren't pushy for sales and have eased any concerns I have had. The 3 month guarantee period also gives one more confidence going with them. Great service and frames for the 2 for $299 price point!
