Disappointing Experience with Advertised Specials

I decided to give the company a try since I had a good experience with them years ago, appreciating their specials, quality, and pricing. With my modest salary, I was attracted to their advertised deals, which seemed affordable. I confirmed with the representative about the special under R5000 including bifocals, and she assured me it did. After the eye test and selecting lenses, I was shocked to receive a quote of over R15000 for two pairs. I had just seen brand frames at a nearby store for R2000 and even found a pair of Ralph Lauren frames for R1900. The company's frames were not as appealing and nearly twice the price. When I inquired about bringing my own frames to reduce costs, the discount was minimal. I felt deceived; the advertised specials seemed like a ploy to bring customers in. I left paying R600 for the eye test and returned to my usual optometrists, who are much more budget-friendly and accommodating. It's clear I avoided a bad situation, especially with the concerning complaints about poor product quality from the company. My experience at this location was frustrating, and I will not recommend or return to the company.

Advertised Specials Are Misleading

I decided to give the company another chance as I had previously been satisfied with their specials, quality, and pricing. Being mindful of my budget, I was drawn to their advertised deals, which appeared to be within my reach. After confirming with the representative that the special under R5000 included bifocals, I proceeded with the eye test. To my shock, I was quoted over R15000 for two pairs of lenses. I had just explored frames at a nearby store for R2000 and even liked a pair for R1900. The company's frames were not as attractive and almost twice the cost. When I asked about using my own frames to cut costs, the reduction was minimal. I felt misled; the specials seemed like a tactic to lure customers. I ended up paying R600 for the eye test and returned to my regular optometrists, who are much more accommodating to my budget. It's clear I sidestepped a bad situation, especially with the concerning complaints about poor product quality from the company. My experience here was disappointing, and I won’t recommend or return.

Grateful for the Team's Support

I want to express my gratitude to the team for their exceptional care. They went above and beyond to assist my grandmother with her eye test for new glasses at home. Despite her age, they treated her with kindness and respect. Their passion for their work is evident, and I am thrilled with their service; they truly made a positive impact on my grandmother's life. You won't find better service than what they provide. Thank you for your compassion.

Accommodating Staff Made the Difference

I initially chose a frame that didn't suit me and exchanged it for another pair. I still wasn't satisfied, but the staff were incredibly accommodating until I found what I liked. The service from the team was outstanding, and I appreciate their effort.

Terrible Service Experience

I had a terrible experience at the company. I ordered my glasses on March 3, 2025, and only received them on April 10, 2025. I paid in full as expected and was promised delivery in 14 working days, but that didn't happen. When I called for updates, I was met with excuses and even laughter at my frustration. I will never use this company again and will not recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic Experience with Eye Test

I recently had an eye test for my new driver's license at the company. The staff provided exceptional service. My prescription had changed, necessitating new glasses. The optometrist was very diligent and professional. Although I expected to wait 3-4 weeks for my glasses, they arrived in just two weeks. The fitting process was seamless, and my glasses look and feel great. I would highly recommend the staff to anyone needing optical care.
