Getting an Eye Exam

I booked an eye exam with Specsavers and the experience has been great! My schedule was at 12:20pm at Newmarket and I left the store at 1:20pm, with my new prescription, and a purchase on 1 pair of clear and 1 pair of prescription sunglasses (buy one, take one). It would be my first time to do this here in NZ. In Manila, you can just go to any store, look through a machine to check your grade and you can purchase any eyewear that you like. Prescription sun glasses weren't popular then. Here I was handled by an Optometrist first before being turned over to an assistant who helped me go through the items and packages available in store. The process was seamless and not overwhelming and confusing which was my usual experience in getting new eye glasses. It helped that I did not have my kids in tow and that it was midweek. I always prefer walking in stores that are not busy as I often get the best service. Karen, the assistant who helped me, did not rush me into making decisions and has been most helpful in getting the best bargain. I can't wait to get my eye glasses in 5-10 working days. They will send me an email once it's available and will call me in case I did not respond.
