Eye tests in Brixton?

Been about 5 (maybe 10) years since I had one. Sight seems okay (to me) but better to check eh?

I got a free eye test voucher for Specsavers the other day. Always think they will lie to sell me glasses though :hmm:

I've used the one diagonally opposite the police station several times seem quite good but will try and flog you frames.Just get the script and buy online if you need to.
 
Noooo, do not go to specsavers, not unless you want to end up with an eye infection like this...

It's happened to three people I know now after visiting there for an eye test, they don't clean their equipment , and they don't seem to give a fuck about it either. AVOID

Ah. Cheers Drew. Not ideal that ^ will try the place on CHL unless I want to sue Specsavers for some free cash after a free test.
 
Have to say that I've always had good service off Specsavers. Drew, have you complained? Written to head office? You should.

WTF! Considering they are all fenced off, must have gone to some lengths to do that. And it's freezing. What morons.

Do you think they were wankered from the night before? Sounds that idiotic that it could have been caused by lack of sleep and lots of substances.

Yeah, I thought it might be mr nags too :p
 
Brixton has changed way too much........... Hopefully, with the incoming new welfare legislation affecting the poor they can be hidden out of sight in poor outposts of this country so that the newly gentrified can sup their latte's in relative peace....

If you want to support your local optician, some are quite happy for you to buy frames elsewhere (whether that's cheap ones off ebay or expensive handmade ones) & get the glasses made up & fitted with them.

TBF I probably wouldn't bother with that if my local optician was specsavers & I didn't have a complex prescription, but I find the fitting bit really important & I like having an optician that knows my eyes.
& actually one of the reasons I like my optician is she doesn't try & flog me frames :).
 
FYI, Club 414 has temporarily lost its licence after a nasty incident last week. Council held a special hearing this morning to decide. Full review will take place within 28 days.

:(

I heard but had not posted as I only knew second hand, not officially. I hope that there is a good outcome for the 414 but fear for them under current things and the location/value of the premises.
