Specsavers Brisbane, CBD

I’m putting it out there. I hate wearing glasses. I really do. I dislike how some people take to wearing glasses with no lenses in them but that’s another story all of it’s own.
Anyway — I needed some new glasses because I ultimately trash mine and I completely concede that I probably don’t clean them nearly as much as I should. I was walking in the city and I came across a Specsavers on Creek Street — totally didn’t know they were there and it just so happened my glasses were particularly disgusting that day PLUS I really had been meaning to enquire somewhere… ANYWHERE about the idea of getting some prescription sunglasses.
The schlocking of Alex Perry everywhere has been something that actually caused me to avoid looking into Specsavers but I must say I was right to (finally) overlook the short, overly botoxed one and go in and see what they had.
The Specsavers Creek Street — while smaller than other stores I had seen; were awesome. They understood that I dislike wearing glasses and that I like my specs to be understated and more to my personality. They had a great range of sunnies that I liked also. After a quick eye test, I was ‘frame styled’ and then I was walking out feeling quite chuffed with a pair of normal glasses and a pair of sunnies on order. The optometrist who saw me was excellent and renewed my interest in wearing contact lenses. She was incredibly particular about explaining why previous contact lenses may not have been ideal for me (I get dry eyes easily) and gave me a trial set to have a go with and so far they have been great.
I didn’t have to wait long for my actual glasses to be made and when I went in to pick them up and have them adjusted, the young lady who helped me was excellent.
I do enjoy my spontaneous purchases but I *love* when I pick a fantastic place to purchase from. The people who held my hand through the process were incredibly patient and they had to be because when it comes to glasses. I can be a nightmare hehehe.
