went to get an eye test and filled in appropriate forms to receive nhs eye test and glasses as i am in receipt of esa. i was informed by the optician i need two pairs one for reading and one for distance. after my test another person sat me down and asked me how much i would like to spend on glasses even though they knew i was on benefit. i explained could not pay towards the glasses they asked what type i was looking for ,they then went to a drawer and got a load of glasses that were the total opposite of what i wanted they all looked like the ones that were available in the 1980s i felt very humiliated and they repeatedly asked what do i want to spend and commented how i had spent 30 pound in there 2006 i explained my circumstances were different in 2006 and how i was leaving the shop as i was made to feel very uncomfortable. They were trying their best to get me to spend money i did nt have. not once was i shown what was available to me i took my script and went to another local optician was shown what was available free of charge and what i would need to pay for i ordered 2 pairs of modern colourful glasses and was treated with a lot of respect never again will i go to gains i did go back to the shop and told the receptionist how i was made to feel they said they'd pass my comments to them i will be going back tuesday to show them my glasses and to ask why i could nt of had them off gains.or more important the service i received from them i would nt recommend anyone to go to gains on breck road.
