I went to Specsavers Edwardstown to get my reading glasses for the year! I usually go elsewhere but…read moredecided to try Specsavers for a change! I discussed with the optometrist getting one pair of tinted lenses especially for the computer to reduce migraines! I purchased 3 pairs of glasses with frames and got new lenses fitted to my favorite older frames! When I got them home I found them ok to read with but when I tried them on the computer, I couldn't see a thing! I was forced to use my older glasses for both normal reading and the computer! When I rang Specsavers I was promptly told that they were reading glasses and NOT meant to be used while using the computer! I was shocked because I have never heard this before plus I discussed computer use with the optometrist and got one pair that reduced glare! I made an appointment to get the problem fixed but when I saw the optometrist was told the same thing! When I mentioned our conversation about the computer he said " how many people do you think I see, I can't remember the conversation"!! Then he told me the glasses were fine and to go home!! So either I throw my computer away or use the older glasses! I'm upset because I got my favorite frames fitted with the useless lenses as well! So now I have 3 pairs of glasses that are paper weights and out over $500 !! I am disgusted that I have wasted both my time and money on glasses I can't use!

I didn't go to the optometrist here - only went in to buy frames - so I can't comment on the…read morequality of the eye checks, but I did go in to purchase frames and had a FANTASTIC experience. All the staff were polite and helpful, I got better customer service than any other optometrist I've been to. They had a huge range of frames from tons of different designers, and their two for one offers are very good (sunnies are included in that offer). I would highly recommend this shop!

Mark Parsons and Kevin Rooney are your friendly Opticians at North Terrace Optometrists, and they…read morewill happily check your eyesight as well as discuss the sort of options you have with all the new technologies available to those requiring glasses or contact lenses. They have quite a good range of frames for new glasses, and a reasonably fast turnaround for delivery. A pair of glasses is a very personal thing, and these days they do not come particularly cheap but these guys are pretty affable and will allow you to make a series of payments so you are not stuck with a big lump sum all at once to pay for new glasses. Let's face it, you are lucky to get away with a new pair of glasses for under $1000.00 if you are buying new frames along with the lenses, so if you are on a low income or even a moderate income it is nice to know you can pay it over a few weeks. This is why I have been and returned to these guys; along with the fact that they have been very supportive of people on a low income whom I have brought in for an eye checkup. If you have a Medicare Card it is a minimal cost. Once you have found a decent optician it is good to stay with them because there is a lot to be said about continuity in these situations. Friends of mine who have required glasses for shortsightedness have been able to get a new pair of glasses with frames for under $200.00 so if you are on the pension or unemployment benefits, don't let their swank address in North Terrace put you off, they're worth a visit, and it is definitely worth discussing your situation and needs before you sit down for the actual eye test, just to let them know what's what. It is best to make an appointment, but I have no doubt you'll get a look in if you just wander in off the street like I did the very first time, you may have to wait for twenty minutes, but that's not too long under those sorts of circumstances; otherwise obviously, book an appointment.

As far as optometrists go this is a friendly community based and independantly owned premises…read more There is a good range of frames on display but if you're after something they don't have , it can be ordered. Name brands in stock and to mention a few are Ted Baker, Oroton, Jag, etc. It doesn't take long to get an appointment and eye examinations are bulk billed. There are three optometrists on board which takes the load off and keeps the customers happy. Turn around time for lenses is anywhere from 4 - 7 days depending on what needs to be done and if they're already in stock or require special orders.

The exam is bulk billed to medicare, and if you do need any eye support you get huge discounts, depending on your level of cover.

In a nutshell - I can see clearly now!

Choosing frames at the end with such a competent and friendly professional was just like fun shopping with a bestie! Over several visits and phonecalls I've gained a great impression and dealt with many staff members. All have been so professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They are also sensitive to individual needs. A massive range of styles and prices, specialised fitting, personalised advice, special offers (such as their current free lens upgrade) and great benefits for members, clearly shows this is the perfect place for eye checks and glasses.

I contacted the clinic and was informed they provided the latest in blade free (bonus!) technology as approved by NASA (awesome!). Nervous but had the procedure performed and it was so much easier to go through than I imagined. It didn't hurt thankfully.
