I love glasses, sometimes I wish I needed them (without the inconvenience of not being able to see…read moreproperly without them), I just want them as a fashion accessory. Eyeballs Eyewear on Oxford Street in Paddington certainly capitalises on this obsession, as they stock some seriously stylish eyewear, and they cater to all our fashion obsessions as they sell both prescription glasses and sunglasses. All the higher end glasses shops are stocking Tom Ford at the moment and so they should, his sunglasses are amazing, some of the best designs I have ever seen. Another great brand Eyeballs are offering is Mykita who are a German brand providing extremely funky, Hi tech yet well made eyewear. Lindberg is another brand on offer, which is a little more classic and demure, but none the less stylish. A great shop.

Walked in looking for some help with glasses and I have to say Riad, the manager, was very helpful…read morein suggesting glasses and even adjusted my old glasses so they'd sit better on my face. I'll be stopping in a few months from now when I need a fresh pair.

I have been going here for over 15 years and the quality of service has been fantastic - as well as…read moreremarkably consistent. They are probably not the cheapest in town but the help I am given to find just the right frames makes it more than worth it. I now let Riad suggest (rather than me wandering about) and the last few times I have always selected the first or second of his suggestions (and trust me, I try on a LOT of pairs!) - and no matter how long it takes, you never feel like a nuisance. I am also surprised that it can be a couple of years between visits and he remembers my name. I never go anywhere else.

This optometry practice has been around for so long. I remember coming here when I was a little…read moregirl; and the practice was in Darling Street; whereas now the establishment is in Victoria Road. Very professional, and very thorough when you come for those routine eye examinations. There is an abundance of choice on different frames of glasses to wear; and they are popular among many of the adult locals in the Rozelle-Balmain area. Comfortable, professional and inviting space that I would recommend to anybody who perhaps has not had their eyes examined in a long time; to those who feel anxious when going to the optometrist - almost to the point to how many of us feel when going to the dentist; and particularly for those who wear glasses and contact lenses. Sally was fantastic with my mum in particular when she wore glasses; and also for a period of time when I had to wear a contact lense in my left eye only. Her patience in teaching me how to use them was spectacular. Would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone who needs their eyes checked, and also to ensure that they are wearing the right glasses for their current vision levels.

I must have purchased twenty frames/lenses over the years from everyday eye wear to sunglasses to specialist sports eye wear. Tony is a 'genius' dispenser and specialises in tricky prescriptions.

Rocked into this shop at 10-45am looking for an impromptu eye exam on a Sunday morning. I was…read moresuprised that they had staff available. (I noticed blood in my eye on Wednesday morning and it hadn't receded so thought it better to be safe than sorry). There were two shop staff. One took my details and medicare information, and asked me to come back a little-after-11 when the optometrist would be available. I came back around 11-15am, and whilst I had a little bit of wait, standing around whilst the two staff served other people glasses/prescriptions, when they were free they acknowledged that I had been waiting and informed the optometrist that I was waiting to be seen. The optometrist herself was extremely sweet and friendly, and made sure that I was comfortable with each of the tests she performed. She was reassuring and explained the equipment and what to expect before she conducted the tests (e.g. one of the tests is a pressure test where the machine blows air into your wide open eye --- she warned me what to expect so I wouldn't freak out --- yes I still freaked out hahaha, but at least I was ready for it). I never knew that optometrists had such sophisticated equipment (I went through 4 separate machines for tests), and it was great to get a macular check at the same time. The final high resolution eye scan cost $75, and isn't covered by medicare, but the rest of the standard testing was all covered. I found the optometrist very skilled, reassuring and informative. It meant the whole experience which could have been daunting was instead very straightforward, calm and easy. If you are worried about your eyes and need a check up, I would gladly recommend visiting this OPSM, it was an enjoyable experience and the staff were attentive and professional. They also stock a wide range of prescription glasses and frames.

As someone who has worn glasses for close to 40 years, OPSM is pretty familiar territory to me…read more Back in the day, OPSM was really the only choice when you needed glasses. There were a few independent eyewear suppliers around but only OPSM had a big enough range of frames to make sure you could get something that didn't make you look like a total dork (which was much more difficult back then). Having said that, I did spend my entire childhood looking like a total dork... but that wasn't because of my glasses, that was just me. These days there are competitors to OPSM. Some of them are cheaper. Some of them are faster... but you know, for the total package of price, quality and service, you just can't go past the old faithful. The range is good. The service is good. They give free lifetime adjustments (which is great when your chosen sport involves being hit in the head with a metal bar). The in house optometrists have done my eye checks since I moved to Hornsby 20 years ago. Now they do my kids eye checks as well (fortunately, all normal... my short sightedness has been cancelled out by my wife's long sightedness resulting in perfect vision). I buy my frames and lenses here. I still look like a total dork but its not because of my glasses. Its still just me.

My perception of OPSM is always expensive! Well, so far…read moregood service and latest technology is something that doesn't come cheap. Their optometrist offered me to get more advance test for glaucoma, the invisible eye desease, cost $ 60 that not yet cover either Medicare or held fund such HCF, that included health result of your retina. I know, sounds crazy right? Well apart from that, sales reps are very professional and they offer the best service by my opinion to help you finding the best available frame or sunnies that you love. I would recommended this shop to everyone.

George Skoufis is the only optometrist that has sourced and found both sunglasses and specs that I can wear in public and look cool. I can't and won't go anywhere else. They have collections from uncommon Australian and overseas based eyewear designers, so you will most likely walk out with eyewear that no one else in Sydney will have. You won't find Prada, Chanel or Gucci here. The staff there really make an effort to make sure you find the perfect pair and have a great sense of style!

John (Dr. Della Marta) may seem dry and abrupt, but really is a competent optometrist who is a straightshooter.

I wish all of them well.
