Trustworthy, integrity is sound.

Arjun was our initial contact, and on some follow ups. Very thorough in all aspects on every visit. Professional and friendly. This applies to all Optical Express employees I had the pleasure to meet.

Very satisfied with my experience in Optical Express in Dublin, after having laser eye surgery. I was surprised at how smooth and easy they made the whole process and I felt very taken care of. I felt they were very thorough with all of the eye tests before the surgery and made sure there were plenty of chances to answer any questions I had. The whole team were so kind and friendly.

Service with a smile

While on a trip to Cork recently, my glasses needed to be tightened as they kept falling off when I looked downwards.
The lovely Eliza looked after me with such kindness. She and her colleague had them fixed and cleaned for me in a few minutes.
They did not charge me a cent. I was so grateful to have my glasses fixed and not have to wait until I returned home to my own optician.
This is real customer service in action. Service with a smile
Thank you so much Eliza ❤️

Optical express Cardiff; excellent

On behalf of my grandad;
“I found the whole experience at the optical express Cardiff excellent, from the initial consultation through to the surgeon performing the operation, and the final check up appointment. My results are even better than expected with me ending up with better than 20/20 vision. Can’t thank all the staff enough for the support throughout, especially to Christian who was the initial person I spoke to about the procedure, he was very friendly, helpful and above all professional.”

Amazing Team Newbridge

Both my son Billy and myself visited on Saturday 16/05, from the moment we entered the door we were made feel so welcome by Breda, she guided us through the whole process and answered all our questions with ease. Amy then took us individually and examined our eyes, she was so thorough and patient. Nelly then examined our eyes, she was exceptional, she couldn’t have explained anything any better, she even picked up on the fact that I have dry eye and advised on treatment options, which I tried and are working (my previous test in the last two months, with another store didn’t pick it up). Amazing team, thank you so much.

A huge thank you to Optical Express

A huge thank you to the team at Optical Express for the amazing service today. My sunglasses lens had popped out of the frame, and Rachel, Eliza, and especially Roxana were so kind, welcoming, and helpful from the moment I arrived. They fixed everything in just 15 minutes!

I really appreciated the excellent customer care and professionalism. Thanks again for making the whole experience so easy and pleasant.

Unfortunately optical express is not a…
Unfortunately optical express is not a company in my honest held opinion can be recommended.

I was promised after care after concerns I raised in relation to reviews and video reviews I have seen.
Optical express were constantly told I have an issue with one of my eyes.

They are saying as 3 months is over and done with I now have to pay to have my eyes checked and pay should I need another operation.

They made promises over the phone and have not followed through.
Is a man of honest in integrity I expect others to show honest integrity.

Especially with a company you pay thousands of pounds too.

Please do not fall of all their advertising.
The company is dishonest and untrustworthy.

They will tell you what you want to hear to get your money.

Do your research with other companies.
Have a look and see how many protests have been made in relation to optical express ruining people's lives.

I am very surprised that they have been able to continue with such apprentice.

Aftercare is not their priority.
Customer service is not their priority.

Getting your money and making profit is their priority and money is their god.

There may well be a previously rehearsed spontaneous response from somebody from their team, someone who has spoken to a legal advisor to try and contradict what I have stated.

Please do not fall to this company.
Otherwise you will be exactly the same as me, wishing you had listened to those people with the bad experiences.

The team in Newbridge are fantastic. Friendly, huge experience and super helpful. I received a very thorough exam and lots of good advice from the Doctor. Thanks to Breda and Amy for looking after us so well, when choosing frames. We couldn't be happier.
