“TESCO, WESTERN AVENUE, CARDIFF”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 26/05/2013

My regular contact lens check was very swift - the object seemed to be 'can you read the chart' rather that checking the health of my eyes. No check to see if the lenses were having a detrimental effect on my eyes, or if the lenses were 'sitting' on my eyes as they should be. The price of the check-up was about the best for the area but this is the worse check I've ever had. The cost of buying new lenses with Tesco is very competitive so well done on this point.

I used to get my contact lens checks done at Tesco when it was 20 minutes.
Unfortunately Tesco has cut the time for contact lens check to 10 minutes!!!

This doesn't allow the optician to provide a full and comprehensive contact lens check, or allow you to raise any problems that you may have.

Its really stupid because they charge the contact lens wearer £15 for the 10 minute appointment, yet it is free for a 20 minute sight test.

Does that make any sense at all? I mean these are your eyes and having a contact lens check is really important to make sure they are healthy!!! Stupid huh!

Forgot to say £15 is cheap for a contact lens check, but you don't get much for your money at Tesco now. It was better before.

You are better paying £10 more and having a thorough examination of your eyes. Believe me 10 minute checks in not industry standard!

I won't go back until they change their lens checks back to 20 minutes. Its a shame as I really liked the optician there.
