And now you can't believe your eyes!

On the advisement of the school health nurse we had Corey referred to our local obstetrician. We were told the waiting list was years long and in the meantime to bring him to our local optician which happened to be Specsavers. 
So as advised we did. He went through all the testing and we were told yes he needs glasses. We picked our frames and they were sent off to have the prescription filled. Ace!!

He needed them for watching TV and looking at the board in school. So we spent the next year reminding Corey everyday to wear his glasses. Glasses were lost and found again, broken and glued back together.  
A year later we received a letter reminding us he needed another test. So like the good parents we are we brought him. Little had changed, a slightly stronger prescription needed. And again we picked frames and waited for his new glasses. So followed another year of 'why aren't you wearing your glasses', broken and lost glasses and all the pains that come with having a young child with glasses.
We finally received a letter telling us we had our appointment with the obstetrician 3 years later. So we ignored the latest reminder from Specsavers and waited for our appointment with Dr Smith. 
The day came and Dr Smith did all the tests. He checked the glasses Corey has been wearing for over a year. And his findings where...........Corey doesn't need glasses. He more thank likely never needed glasses and if he does need glasses in the far Far off future the glasses he has don't even match the need that may develop! 
So no more glasses for Corey! Our poor son who already has a speech delay which makes him stand out, just spent 2 years unnecessarily wearing them! 
I don't know if its lack of training, lack of care or just a want to makes as much money as possible off people but Specsavers has failed us! I sent and email to them and Dr you know whats they wrote back??? Yea you guessed it Nothing!! 
We will never go back and will advised those we know to stay away! They just lost at least 2 life time customers as Niall wear glasses too! 
So next time a free Specsavers eye test voucher comes through the letterbox I recommend you through it in the trash because that's all it is!!
