Riya at Specsavers, Hillside Shopping Centre, Victoria, BC was excellent at her job. She was attentive, professional and had a pleasing interaction with customers. She looked after us all the way from introducing herself on the floor, leaving us to choose on our own but also pointing out why one pair we had chosen may not have been the best choice. We took her advice and changed frames. She is a great sales person, not at all pushy, allowing us to make the decisions. We hope her manager appreciates her as much as we do.

I had my eye exam and ordered two pairs of glasses from here. I was helped by Wren, who was so incredibly kind and helpful during my selection. I could not have made my selection without her help, I cannot recommend this place enough and thank you again Wren!!

Amazing service and kindness at the Specsavers in Hillside Mall. Knowledgeable and helpful staff, and the Optometrist was absolutely fantastic! She answered my questions and guided me to buying the right glasses for my current work needs. Lina worked hard to help me find glasses that I like (I am super picky) and she and another associate were patient and encouraging. Lina helped fill in my health insurance and to my surprise I was covered for two pairs of glasses. Prior to this visit, I’d always purchase my glasses online. I will return for sure! I was blown away by the service! Thank you! 🙏🏽
