Lovely warm welcome and excellent service as always at Scrivens, Westbourne. Charming, efficient and professional eye test with Anna and then superb guidance and follow up with Linda to choose frames and lenses. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Response from the owner:Thanks again for your kind words, come back and see us anytime!
Great service and genuine value for money. I was treated as an individual throughout, and nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. I can’t speak highly enough of Scrivens in Westbourne. The staff were excellent—friendly, professional, and always willing to help. I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
Sarah and Louise were lovely and very helpful. Would recommend 10/10
Response from the owner:We’re thrilled to hear about your fantastic experience
Visited on the off chance my sunglasses could be straightened. Optician Louise explained the frame might snap but I agreed to take the risk and Louise did a fantastic job of bending them back into shape. Many thanks!
Response from the owner:Feel free to reach out to us if you need anything. Have a wonderful day.
I popped into the shop on the off chance to get something explained as the information I had wasn't explained clearly. Linda was absolutely fantastic in explaining everything in an easy to understand manner. She gave clear and concise advice on the situation I had found myself in. I absolutely recommend Scrivens Opticians & hearing care, westbourne. Linda couldn't do enough for me which was highly appreciated.
Response from the owner:Matthew Adams, we're glad you had such a wonderful experience with us!

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review!
As always, great service from all the staff. A few weeks ago Connor sorted a problem with my glasses so now I can drive at night. And today Mark was great fitting my son's new glasses. All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. I've been going to Scrivens for years (when it was Greenslades) and I will never go anywhere else for mine and my family's eye care.
Response from the owner:Hello Suzanna Shattock, thank you; we appreciate your feedback!
Really friendly, Linda was very nice and was very accommodating, as were all the staff. Optical equipment was clean and the optician was pleasant
Response from the owner:We hope to be of service to you again in the future.
Really friendly, good staff. Especially Linda the manager. Kind and have lots of patience. Would definitely recommend.
Response from the owner:Kirsty Louise, thank you for the high star rating!
Popped in for a quick glasses repair. Did it for me super quick and were happy to help me. Gonna be my new optician in the future
Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us with your eyecare and taking the time to share your experience
We recently visited Scrivens after accidentally dropping a pair of glasses, which caused the screw to come loose and the lens to pop out. Sonny helped us immediately, took our details, and let us know they’d call once the repair was complete. Less than an hour later, we received a call to say the glasses were ready to collect.
When we returned, Linda looked after us and was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout. We were pleasantly surprised to find there was no charge for the repair, which was greatly appreciated and speaks volumes about their customer service.
While waiting, we also had a browse through the frames and were impressed by the wide selection available for the whole family, including some lovely designer options we hadn’t seen elsewhere, such as Longchamp. Overall, a fantastic experience with friendly, efficient service — we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scrivens for both repairs and eyewear shopping.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review! We really do appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at our branch in Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care
Excellent service and Linda was extremely helpful as well as being a friendly face to greet you
Response from the owner:We’re pleased to hear we could provide you with a memorable experience during your visit.
Store staff are supper friendly. I use to go to the big brand stores but found this place and definitely recommend it. They very quickly on dealing with any issues. Super friendly and reasonable price and high quality products. Plus they have walk in appointments which now a days must places don’t offer.
Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us and taking the time to share your experience!
Had the best experience today. The staff are so lovely, kind, and patient. I got some glass in my eye and they were able to get me in for a last minute appointment to make sure everything was okay . I saw Anna, who was again so lovely and made the whole experience great. Highly recommend coming here :)
Response from the owner:Thank you for the excellent review! We’re so happy that your visit went so smoothly.

I made two visits to the Westbourne branch - walkin enquiry and eye test appointment. On both occassions the staff were very welcoming, friendly and professional. Visiting opticians is not always a great experience, but this was a genuine pleasure and can strongly recommend Scrivens to others.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy your visit at Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care went so smoothly
Thank you Mark and Luke for fantastic customer service.
Nothing was too much trouble to help my son with his glasses, from choosing new frames to fitting.
Would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Your feedback about our glasses and service means so much to us, thank you for your kind words!
Great experience here with my Son for his first eye test and now needing glasses. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Your feedback about our glasses and service means so much to us, thank you for your kind words!
They were very friendly and did me a favour for free. I’d recommend dealing with them; I’ll be using them from now on and always. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Thank you again for choosing us, see you next time!
I have been getting my eyes tested here for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. The service I receive has always been exceptional. I have known Connor who works there for as long as I have been going. He is patient, very good with clients, informative and knows his job inside out. The optometrist I saw today explained more in the time I spent with him than all the optometrist I have seen in the past put together. I would definitely recommend this Opticians to any other
Response from the owner:We truly appreciate your support and positive feedback, thank you for taking the time to share it.
Helpful professional good communication
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review!
Popped in for some help with my glasses as the arm had fallen off. Brilliant service, kind and all for free! Many thanks
Response from the owner:Thank you for the excellent review! We’re so happy that your visit went so smoothly.
