Customer reviews

How the whole visit went with full Covid protection without being unpleasant

Robert, Stranraer

How quickly I received an eye test as i had been having headaches and thought my eyesight had deteriorated. I appreciated getting the appointment so quickly given the current situation with covid.

Maureen, Stranraer

Staff were really brilliant and friendly but what stood out for me was the offer of the new 3D image of my eyes for an extra 10 pounds. Being a type 1 diabetic my eyes are of concern and because of the corona virus my annual eye check up at hospital was postponed but a visit to spec savers and having the 3D image done has put my mind at rest
