Spec-savers Medicross Midrand horrible service, for free kids glasses

Spec-savers Medicross Carlswald has poor service. I booked my 8 year old son an appointment and was told I should go to an ophthalmologist for a script as they cannot get it right. I then brought the script to them and was told my son cannot qualify for free glasses because her his script is above a -3ds. His on -5,5 and -6,5. I asked why they said the spec-savour does not give free spectacles to kids with worse eyes like mine.

I am very disappointed they made me pay R1 297.00 which I wasn’t prepared for as they kept on telling me that I spent money on the ophthalmologist why can’t I spend at them as well. And it’s them who gave me a transfer letter for the eye specialist had to spend a lot of money just to get the free glasses.

Reviewer Update
After I wrote this review, spec savars Medicross called me to say the reason she made me to pay was because she did not know how to capture for free child spectacles for a high reading of above -3ds, she would try and get me a refund of the R1297. It’s been three week’s haven’t got any feedback even went to collect the spectacles and she said nothing about the money I paid which I wasn’t supposed to pay. My child is 8 years old the promotion of free spectacles does not exists as I couldn’t get one for free.
