DGT Opticians
2021 Oct 19
I am giving 2 stars for the kind and gentle man that is Mr. Ruci. However, for my experience with their spectacles I am ashamed to say I spent some 7-8000 on a pair of extremely flimsy cheap plastic pair of spectacles (including 5500 for 'Nikon' lenses) and let me tell you they didn't last me any longer or perform any better than the ones I picked up from Lenskart earlier.
Actually now that I think about it, the Lenskart ones lasted me at least 2 years. These ones were so flimsy that eventually they broke in just under a year... furthermore, the 'Nikon' lenses slowly became yellow and extremely scratched over time (and that affects me professionally - I'm a filmmaker, I canNOT afford to see with a yellow tinge). I went to them a couple of times complaining about the scratches and each time they assured me it's because I didn't take good care of them.
AND WHAT IS MORE - the number that was checked for me was WRONG (I found out after using these specs for a year - I swear I had a headache everyday for a year and I thought it's because of stress). PLEASE get your number checked from a doctor and a proper medical optician, not people who make specs, no matter how professional they claim they are. They gave me a (-1.75) number whereas I am supposed to have a compound (+1, -2.00) lens.
I just got spectacles made worth 900 rupees from some teeny tiny shop. The frame is sturdy, the lenses are crystal clear, and even if these last me 6 months (though I'm SURE they will last me much longer), they're already a 100 times more worth than DGT Opticians extremely expensive and disappointing products.
Who knows, maybe the one they sold to me was a bad one. Maybe their regular clients are used to their good service. I will never know. But I am never going back there, and highly recommending everyone to not either.
