That happened my son, he couldn't order new lenses 'til he had an eye test.
They told him in Specsavers it was a new law or something ..mmmm very suspect. So he'd an eye test, was charged I forget how much, no change in prescription (there hadn't been in years) before they handed over the lenses.
Surely it's up to the individual whether they want their eyes tested or not.

what’s up arse bandits,

I went in to specsavers on friday as my 2 year old daughter broke me visions , any way I walked over to the cheapest section picked up the first set i seen priced at 39 euro handed them to the clerk and was told my eye test was out of date of aprox a month I would need a test .

I was cool with that, I explained I have contact lenses and want to finish them up before i start up grading my prescription (also on me desk in work I have a free eye test voucher with 65 blips off a pair of specs)

I asked can i drop after work to collect me glasses .

He said NO I can’t see sell you them cause your prescription is out of date. I have bought glasses online many times, what’s the big ****n problem,
So I leave the opticians like father jack.
I’m walking around like ****n Jack Duckworth at the moment because of this butt pirate

seen you coming didnt they

My mind is melted with these eyesores ye call puns

dvpower · 23-01-2010 09:48PM

Exactly the same thing happened to me in Specsavers last year.

I lost my glasses and went and picked out a couple of pairs. My last eye test had been nearly three years previous and they refused to sell me glasses without a new eye test. So I asked for an eye test and they said they couldn't give me one that day and I would have to come back the following week.

I told them that I needed new glasses asap but no joy. They tried to explain that it would be unsafe to give me glasses based on an old prescription. I told them that they had records on my prescriptions going back over 10 years and it hadn't changed substantially over the years, but this fell on deaf ears. I tried to explain that if I had not lost my own glasses, I would be wearing a three year old pair without the eye cops chasing me down, but that argument didn't work. I then tried to explain that leaving me with no glasses would be more unsafe than selling me a pair on an old prescription, but they were not for turning.

So I left and went to the place across the street.

But that was a travel agency:mad:

How long did it take you to get across the street?

So, what's the actual problem here? Prescription too old? Get an eye test. It's not expensive. Specsavers etc. put expiry dates on prescriptions for a reason.

I'll give a proper response (shocking, I know).

If they sold you a product that wasn't right for you, it may result in you complaining about the product to many other people.

They were protecting their business by preserving the quality of the product they sell.

If you cared about your eyesight, then you would have taken another eye test so that you could be sure to get the right prescription.

Wow, I didn't realise Jake Stevens actually needed those glasses? I just thought they were part of the disguise?

An eloquent and heartfelt apology. I'm moved.
You should make the same offer to the optician ,in the hope he changes his mind also.

What everyone one fails to see is although I come across a pickey joy riding, track suit bottoms tucked in socks scum bucket, im not like that in person , i was very polite to the assistant and nice and so on.

all wanted was a quick pair of glasses as i had a meeting that day as i wouldn’t be able to see the power point projected on the wall .

i was willing to get an eye test, but i needed the glasses fast.

i wasnt being scabby i had a voucher for an eye test on my desk in work, i just didnt have the time.

so i had to take the notes from the meeting off this dizzy bitch that is only in the place because she is a trollop..her writing is that of a 13yr old all bubbly and big!!!!

awe ****, can i use the word trollop???

"a vulgar or disreputable woman; especially : one who engages in sex promiscuously or for money"

Probably best not to use trollop and 13 year old in the same sentence.:P
