This is a locally run opticians and Optometrists, and is small and perfectly formed…read more If you want a quick eye test and the newest pair of designer frames, you could go elsewhere, but if you want a more in depth eye exam, or a test for some kinds of visual disturbances, (such as Irlen syndrome or other forms of Dyslexia) than you should start here first! I visited last year for my first full-length eye-test, and the Optician, a very gentle and entertaining chap, really did a fantastic job. He went into great detail to explain various conditions to me, not just the symptoms but the scientific causes, and seemed to enjoy sharing information. The price was good, and the service was excellent.

Inexpensive? Nope. Really nice staff with great and caring customer service? Yes, definitely…read more I bought a gorgeous and pricy pair of glasses here a couple of years ago and they've taken care of me ever since. £25 for my eye exam, £90 for my lenses (my vision is quite poor).... not gonna tell you how much I spent on my frames... but all taken care of promptly and with a smile. They even helped me no problem when I wanted to order my contacts in the US (they had to send my prescription) rather than through them because it was cheaper. When I broke said expensive frames (that colour was sadly discontinued), they offered to order two pairs of the same frames in different colours so I could try them out. Sure, you can get inexpensive glasses elsewhere, but this is a small, privately owned optometrist that will really take care of your vision... stylishly!

I've been coming here for years as it has a good range of modern spectacles to wear about town in…read moreLondon and the service is personal and good. Recently I've upgraded to some new Japanese made lenses which are remarkably crisp and better for reading than my previous lenses. The test equipment is very modern and you can now look at your retina on the Apple display if so inclined. I don't change my glasses very often, but I take the tube here whenever I do or for a routine eye test. Islington is a nice part of town so pop down and have a coffee near the canal next time you visit.

Absolute con! Do not take your children here! Be warned! I'm now 27 and have been told by so many…read moreopticians I was given classes when my prescription was too low to receive them! I first received my glasses here when I was 15/16! Did not need them, could see very well but was convinced by the optician that I NEEDED them! Hundreds of pounds later I had a pair of glasses! My eyes deteriorated very quickly after here ! He did the same thing to my little sister shortly after! Funny enough me, my 2 sisters and mum all came out of here needing glasses! What a surprise! Great business man! I applaud you! You screwed us all!

I choose Good Looking Optics because I saw good reviews on the internet…read more Instead of good service and prices,I got ripped off and end up paying more then I will ever imagine(even though I got their leaflet with various discounts which was completely useless in the end). Every information about prices I got was confused and every employer told me different things. I got impression that Gary and his stuff are sweet talk and kind untill time for paying come,then you got much higher price then you already been told,and everything happen in a rush without any explanation why is that. One of his employers tried to assure me to by lenses in a wrong power-with explanation that they are not producing lenses in my power but power they got is similar with mine(?!),which is really unprofessional. After all I am really dissapoint and I won't go to Good Looking Optics ever again.

Service was absolutely amazing and I can finally have glasses that not only fit but also are the right prescription for my eyes. I wasted money and time in the other place. They also have lots of glasses to choose from, I would say probably as many as the other shop I used to go to. Inhighly reccommend Scher & Marks opticians.

I was looking for an independent opticians and was recommended Jeremy Solomon by a work colleague…read more I haven't been to an opticians for over 7 years and knew my eyesight had deterioated quite a bit so wasn't looking forward to the outcome. I needn't have worried however, Jeremy was very professional and took the time to explain in simple terms that I did need glasses. As there was a wide range of frames available I ordered my prescription glasses and returned the next day to collect them. Great service and happy to recommend.

Popped in here on the off chance of speaking to someone about a concern with my eye. With a warm…read morefriendly welcome, I was able to get great information and advice on the spot without an appointment or being asked to come back. I didn't feel like I was being rushed and time and patience was given. Came back, following such a pleasant first experience, to have my eyes tested. This again was done on the spot (although you can, of course make appointments) with a through examination and questioning about my sight. Any 'silly' questions I had were answered. Optician was friendly and able to break down any clinical terms in layman's to be fully understood. Advice given but not pushed on you and felt no obligation to purchase anything further. Whilst they may not have your usual high street designer frames, they have a good selection of designer frames to select from. Of course, they are also happy to put their lenses in frames you may have already. Having gone through a comprehensive review of my eyesight I got a couple of new pairs of prescription glasses. I feel like I am living in a HD world now in comparison to what I had before. Thank you!

Lucky for us, CrossEyes has Saturday hours and I was able to drop by without an appointment. We received fantastic service from Panos, the owner, and Astrid. They were friendly and helpful and repaired the glasses in less than 3 minutes. My son's vision is 20/100 without glasses, so they saved our vacation by basically restoring his sight! I highly recommend this shop for their skill and willingness to accommodate.
