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!

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!

Both the Optometrists are friendly and professional and have always been efficient at finding the right lenses for my eyes as they have changed over time. They are definitely two of the best Optometrists in Adelaide. They also stock a large range of high quality frames, although in my opinion they are best suited for more mature and sophisticated individuals. I often struggle to find frames here that suit me and my budget, however they are happy to accept frames sourced from elsewhere to fit with lenses. I can definitely recommend Optometry on Osmond, especially to those who have complicated issues such as astigmatism.

Nice store in a good location, Australian owned and operated. Eye examination is good and I found…read morethem to be honest as my prescription for reading glasses had not changed. You can get a nice pair of specs with no gap through a health fund, which is helpful. You can choose from a reasonable range, although their is not anything too trendy. Overall very good and I am pleased.

I have been going to the Optometrist for a very long time now. I first got a pair of glasses when I…read morewas 10 years old. So, it is safe to say that I have tested out quite a few different specialists. I first made a appointment here as it was the closest store to one of my old homes in the Adelaide Hills. And I am so happy that I did. I have now been going to this store for 5 years. Now the first thing to note about Specsavers is that they have really cool frames at great prices! They have a heap of funky designs and do change their stock every now and then. So I sometimes pop in to see if there is anything I like. Also, if you find a pair of framers elsewhere, they are happy to place lenses in it with your prescription after a test. That way they ensure that you get exactly what you need! They are also offer great advice with frames and happy to speak to you while you try on every pair in the store. Ummmm yes... I am indecisive. Also, if you wear contacts, the Specsavers brand contacts are great. I use the daily ones, and they are so comfy and easy to wear. They again are really well priced. Some other contacts that I have used don't breathe as well as these ones. So give them a go. Now, my favourite part of this store are the Optometrists. I have seen three different Optometrist here and they are all as lovely as the next. They are so happy to talk and educate you on your eyes. Total translators of eye anatomy! Now, I love anatomy and after looking at super awesome pictures of my retinas, the Optometrist saw how curious I was. She then printed me a copy of them and I have framed them at home. Yes, I am weird. But, I love them! If you want amazing service, products and eye care; travel to this store. I have not found another Optometrist quite like them in Adelaide.

It looks like they offer a large variety of eye glasses, but I must explain how awesome the customer service attendant behind the counter was towards me. Ask for Melissa, she's actually the Assistant Store Manager. Melissa has customer service abilities that could save mankind (well some of us anyway) and her phone and communication skills puts any call centre consultant to shame. I explained to her that as a son, I didn't want my Dad waiting for two months before he got seen by his eye specialist (the eye specialist my Dad has is very popular and busy that you have to book at least two months in advance, so we had to re-strategise). She's so dang understanding that even after our discussion, I find myself blabbing away about how she truly wanted to help my Dad's eyes or how she agreed with my strategies. Fortunately for her, my Dad is a loyal customer who didn't lose faith in their company. Was it the way she really listened to me? Was it the fact that she put up with my disagreements? Sure. She was fantastic. But of all the worthy qualities Melissa demonstrated, nothing turned me on more than her genuine care towards my Dad's eyes and went the extra mile for me. A woman who cares about helping my dear Dad -- even if not by her own ideas, but by her carefully listening to me, will always win my heart. (hmm....girls who listen to me turn me on!)

Now that I'm getting older bifocals are in order (sad isn't it). As I happened to be in the…read moreshopping complex I popped in to make an appointment for the following week. I was offered a number of times the optometrist would be available and booked a time. Arriving for my appointment it was straight forward and just had to provide my Medicare Card for full payment, so no out of pocket for the eye check. A staff member did some of my machine eye tests in readiness to give the results to the optometrist, then I was whisked into his rooms for my consultation. I was even given some free contact lenses to take with me to try. After the appointment, a staff member helped me select suitable frames and discussed the lense options, and account paperwork. The only negative is a two week wait on my spectacle lenses, and paying the gap for the glasses.

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.

Staff are friendly, and seem efficient, although we have pre-empted the call to pick up the kids glasses a couple of times - just a matter of timing, we were at the centre and dropped in to check if the specs were ready, and they were. The times the kids have been there, the ladies who've looked after them have really put them at ease with the tests, and truly take the time to be sure their glasses sit comfortably like they should. Special cases have been found for them with favourite cartoon characters, etc - they really do a good job of looking after the little ones.

We had great fun him trying on ridiculous styles, and the staff were happy just to leave us alone.
