I have so much trouble finding sunglasses and specs that suit me. There must be something wrong…read morewith my face lol. 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! Recommend this optometrist if you want to look unique, stylish or just plain cool. Very eastern suburbs :)

Terrific service and a great range with all the majors and high-class label designs available. My assistant knew her stuff (even an integral knowledge of Persol styles). She even offered to go to the QVB store to get a pair of Persol sunglasses for me to try on that they didn't have. Keep up the good work - well worth a visit if you need a pair of quality sunnies. They also have discounts if you are s member of certain health funds do ask!

Its major retailers are stores like Myer and Zara, with luxury brands like Gucci, Fendi, and Chanel. It is owned by the Centre Group, which was previously part of the Westfield Group, a multi-national based in Australia. The Westfield Group was split in 2014 into a Australia/New Zealand portion (Centre group which owns this mall) and the Westfield Corporation, which owns many shopping centers in Europe and the US, including many that I've been to (Westfield Old Orchard, Westfield Century City, Westfield Topanga, and Westfield Culver City). We spent a bit of time here while waiting for our reservation at the Sydney Tower, whose customer entrance is located in this mall.

If you're as guilty of as much online shopping as I am, you've probably ordered as many cosmetics…read morefrom strawberry.net than you possibly need or ever will use. If you're the impatient sort like myself and don't like waiting the 4-7 days when your next delivery comes, then this is the find I want to brag about. For such a small cosmetic store (one that I'm hoping gets all the more attention it deserves), it holds a mega load of different products. I recently found a Guerlain lipstick online (Rouge G - Try it!) because I refused to pay the enormous rip off they charge at the major department stores. On this opportunistic day, I happened to find the same shade of lipstick at this store and I found it was even cheaper than strawberry.net (50c cheaper, but still...) AND it was minus the wait. They stock all kinds of cosmetics, facial cleansers, eyelash curlers and of these, most of them are quality brands like Clarins, Guerlain, YSL, Bobbi Brown and more. The stock is constantly changing which is annoying when you finally find that favourite shade of lipstick, but be mindful of purchasing old products as they may have deteriorated in quality. Hopefully you can tell how excited I was about this place but I'm no good at keeping secrets, have a look!

Ladies, Cosmo Cosmetics has opened in the Metcentre-and it has some great deals!…read more They sell quality makeup products and genuine perfume at discounted prices. It's usually discontinued products so you can find stuff that may no longer be available elsewhere. They stock premium brands: Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Shseido and Lancôme, as well as familiar brands such as Clinique, Dr Lewins. Revlon, Maybelline and L'Oreal. You can get Chanel single eye shadow for under $20! I have also bought quite a few skincare products here from the Dior and Clairns range. Around Mother's Day and Christmas, there are plenty of make-up gift packs and skincare/spa sets which are great value for money and will impress the recipient.

I like to have a pair of glasses for each day and I have now found a store to cater to my glasses…read morefetish. Basically one pair of Designer Frames with lenses at my Optometrist was $550 with a rebate. The lenses are terrible and they constantly fog up. I love the frames but I can tell the glasses were just thrown together. Also the fact that the optometrist rang me close to harrassment to try out some Contact Lenses for free , of course. I had to avoid him in the street. Not long after I find this cool place and I love that I can get 2 pairs of specs for less than $400 with no rebate. I hadnt heard of Bailey Nelson until they opened in the Shire . Since googling, Im well impressed. Story goes , a couple of hipsters started the business in Bondi and like to help people save money, so they cut out all the unneccessary middlemen. At B&N They rang my previous Optometrist to confirm my prescription and had the glasses made up in a week . Its not my imagination but the lenses are really clear and I wasnt asked if I want the works , like Fog Free, Glare Free, Scratch resistant , Break Free etc . Honestly the BS that we have to answer , who would say no ? No Im good thanks I want my glasses to fog and break easily . As I know that it costs about a dollar to make them and you are all parasites but lets waste more time. How thin would you like to go ? well I still want to resemble Coke Bottles of course NOT. They dont do this at B&N . Also they dont have a big neon sign on the side to advertise their brand . Its descretely displayed on th inside of the arm. Im thinking they would update quite regularly as they are fashion forward . The same colours come in different frames for different shapes etc. Makes so much sense to me. I will always buy my glasses here now.

Extremely disappointing experience after being a long-term customer…read more I have been a customer of this practice for many years. All three of my children have had glasses through them, and my family has spent many thousands of dollars with the practice. I have also regularly recommended them through local mums/pages and my neurodiverse support network. My previous review from 4-5 years ago was positive, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I purchased prescription glasses for $805, along with Jimmy Choo prescription sunglasses, bringing the total to $1,315. The sunglasses were a discontinued display model, and I was advised by Litza that to receive the discounted price on the sunglasses, I also had to purchase another pair of prescription glasses through the practice. I agreed and purchased the whole package through them, despite finding the same prescription frame online for considerably less, because I trusted the practice and wanted to support a business I had been loyal to for years. There were also pricing issues. I had notes of my discussions with Litza regarding the agreed price, yet the price increased by another $21 when I collected the glasses. They also took over a month to arrive, and I was advised I would receive an additional representative discount because of the delay. This ultimately did not happen. The prescription glasses themselves have been a nightmare. I specifically told the practice I needed them for driving, including night driving. I chose and paid extra for FL-41 lenses due to my migraines. I was told they would be suitable for night driving, but I have found them unsuitable for me and raised this with the practice. I was told I needed to "get used to the lenses." My refund request, however, is about the frame, not the FL-41 lenses. The frame causes significant pressure around my temples and I develop migraines during daytime wear, often within 15-20 minutes. I attended multiple adjustment appointments and even used tissues around the arms of the frame to try to relieve the pressure because I genuinely wanted them to work. I asked about changing to a smaller/lighter frame but was told there would be an additional cost. The frame has now been loosened twice and slips down my nose while still putting pressure on my temples. I have since sought independent opinions from three optometrists, who have advised that the frame is too heavy for my face and, particularly given my migraines, that the weight and pressure around my temples are contributing to the problem. Despite this, I have repeatedly been asked to return for another adjustment. I am seeking a refund because I cannot comfortably wear these glasses for their intended purpose. What has been most upsetting is the way this has been handled. My requests were referred to as my "demands" becoming more and more, despite my position remaining the same: I simply wanted glasses I could actually wear. After multiple attempts to resolve this directly, and emails going unanswered, I have now lodged the matter with NSW Fair Trading and will consider NCAT if necessary. The most disappointing part is how a long-term customer who has supported, recommended and trusted this practice for years has been treated when something went wrong. Customer service isn't really tested when everything goes perfectly. It's tested when something goes wrong and a customer needs help finding a fair resolution. Sadly, I genuinely expected better.
