It's the kind of place that you go to and they remember your name, your details, and ask you how your holiday was! You can be assured of a 100% friendly, quality and professional service at all times. When I had a problem with my eyes years ago, they fit me in for last minute appointments, explained everything to me and provided an excellent after service. They are totally reliable and I trust them completely.

The staff really know what they are talking about and are all very friendly. They were happy to recommend glasses i should try on and even ordered a couple of pairs in for me because they thought they might suit me.

Having been to many opticians and ophthalmologists over the years, in Oxford and abroad, I can say unequivocally that this is the best experience I have ever had. As an academic who reads all day, and who has been dealing with eye discomfort for quite a long time, I am very indebted to Nikki (the very experienced optometrist) for spending so much time with me getting to the bottom of the issue. The eye exam is more expensive than elsewhere, but you get what you pay for in terms of technology and service. For instance, having spent over an hour with me on the day, she had me come back two weeks later, just to check in, free of charge. Meanwhile, Gina, the owner, spent over an hour with me helping me pick out new frames. It was exceptional service that you rarely find nowadays. I recommend iGlasses without reservation.

Although the range of frames is not gigantic, they are priced reasonably and can suit any budget. I don't feel like they are out to make money out of me, they say things as it is and explained the tests they were doing and why they were doing it. Nearest parking is the Lurke Street multi-storey carpark which is just 1 min walk from the opticians
