Free eye test at specsavers. Do a decent job. I know staines is free using 8303 and am sure other branches are also free using the same code. Plenty of slots available in different locations because people are busy doing other things. I know Tesco and other places do them free too but I find specsavers are a little better in my experience.

Specsavers are quite expensive in general,so it works out cheaper paying for your eye test at Asda,just had mine done there.

I beg to differ. They were hands-down the cheapest for a reglaze. I compared to Boots, vision express and The Opticial shop. All were about 50% more than Specsavers. I was skeptical giving them my branded frames especially as they all just seem weird in the shop but took my chance and it was absolutely fine. They even gave me a free Hugo boss case to matchthe specs. !0/10 on cost and service.

They are expensive for new glasses,I got mine at Specsavers previously.

fair enough. Always worth shopping around of course but you can use this free eye test anywhere.
Just trying to help those who can do with saving a bit from eye tests

I used to work for them, they don't do anything properly, fast and furious is the motto.

I used a FREE eye test offer for Spec Savers last year - never again.
I had my eyes tested by someone who I was told when I sat down in the chair - was a trainee - but don't worry, a fully qualified optician will double check everything.
Turns out the Qualified Optician ran their eyes over the paper work - NOT over my eyes.

Assuming everything had been done properly, I took the prescription to my usual optician, and ordered varifocal glasses and sunglasses.
Right from first day I got them, I knew they were not right..... but I was told varifocals needed getting used to (about my 3rd pair!!)
Eventually MY optician agreed to check my actual eye-sight, compared to the prescription from Spec Savers, as I was still having major problems.
Turned out SS prescription was Nowhere near the correct prescription.
Fortunately MY optician arranged to have new lenses with CORRECT prescription put in the new frames at no extra cost....
But wasted about 2 months of my life trying to save the cost of an eye test.
Not worth it.

I won't be going anywhere near SS again.

I witnessed the same thing hundreds of times and I got the wrong diagnosis myself.... utter disgrace.
