The Optical Superstore

I haven’t had my eyes tested here (I’ve made it a habit to carry my current script around with me just in case I spot an awesome deal), but I’ve had a bit of a browse. I’m pretty badly shortsighted. My licence says I need glasses on to drive, but really, I need glasses to find the car in the first place.
Spending so much time behind the wheel, I generally find it a good idea to grab a pair of tinted glasses, which is what lead me to be in this place.
They’ve got pretty much something for everybody. Except me, as it turns out. Much like my hair, nothing I try glasses-​wise looks much good. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I will gradually grow into being a real life Peter Griffin as I age, but that’s alright. I’m at peace with it.
The people who work here are really quite friendly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from here if I found something I liked.

I’ve canvassed here in my forever search for a better pair of glasses. I’d been wearing a broken pair for a long time. I know what you’re thinking, it wasn’t like Harry Potter’s glasses that were broken in the middle. A hinge came loose on one of the sides.
I decided then and there I would get a new pair ASAP. I didn’t have my prescription on hand, so I called home and asked my brother to read it out to me. Thankfully they accepted it, and managed to get my real prescription faxed through in time for me to select a new frame. They had a good selection, and I found a frame similar to the one I had.
They were very helpful and even offered to help fix my current pair.

I don’t wear glasses. I never have. However, my husband, mother, father, brothers, nephew all wear glasses. In fact, it wouldn’t be a great leap for me to say that everyone I know wears glasses. And I keep hearing this name pop up.
It seems to be the place to go if your after a cheap pair of glasses, and don’t know anyone who is going to Thailand.
I’ve been in here with my husband a few times, and service is pretty good. We had great fun him trying on ridiculous styles, and the staff were happy just to leave us alone.

Haven’t used them yet myself, although I’m due for a check up (and probably glasses, hours spent in front of a PC and all that) but have taken both my kids here, and my wife has used them a couple of times too.
Staff are friendly, and seem efficient, although we have pre-​empted the call to pick up the kids glasses a couple of times — just a matter of timing, we were at the centre and dropped in to check if the specs were ready, and they were.
The times the kids have been there, the ladies who’ve looked after them have really put them at ease with the tests, and truly take the time to be sure their glasses sit comfortably like they should. Special cases have been found for them with favourite cartoon characters, etc — they really do a good job of looking after the little ones.
