Refusing to tell me my eye test result!

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent service I received at your practice. I visited for an eye test, specifically to check whether my eye health has deteriorated, improved, or remained the same since my last visit. To my utter frustration, I was refused this basic information.

What is the point of conducting an eye test if you refuse to tell me the result? I fully understand that there is an additional charge for the actual prescription, but I did not ask for the script—I only wanted to know if my eyesight had changed in the past two years. The fact that this simple request was denied is utterly baffling.

As someone who has undergone several eye tests at Optique Optometrists and previously received my prescription without issue, I am shocked by this sudden change in practice. Why has this process been altered without clear communication? What exactly did I pay for if not for essential information about my vision?

I am extremely disappointed and honestly, quite angry. I expect better from a service I’ve trusted for years.

Good Day Lisa King

We are extremely sorry that you feel this way.
We do offer a full comprehensive eye test which costs R99, this includes a digital report afterwards which is a detailed report of your eye condition (this was sent to your email address and your cell phone number as a sms on 6 August 2024). If you request for your prescription to be taken away then we charge you an additional R400. This is communicated on all our booking messages, marketing material and can be found on our website https://optique.co.za/pages/r99-eye-test

You had a full comprehensive eye test done and two sets of trial contact lenses were given to you to try.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Regards
The Optique Team

Once again you are not reading my message with understanding. I DO NOT WANT A SCRIPT of any kind. I would just like to know if my eyes got worse, even a phone call telling me my eyes went from -3 to -4 would suffice. I just wanted to know if my eye sight is still fine or how drastically it has changed!!!! THAT IS LITRALLY ALL I ASKED

The practice did give you a call a few minutes ago and your digital report has been sent again to you.
