So glad I found this shop! I haven't had new glasses in years and haven't had my eyes checked in…read morejust as long. Went in to ask a lot of questions about how getting glasses worked in the Netherlands, and found it to be quite simple. I made an appointment for me and my husband for us to get a free eye exam. Service couldn't be better. Really! Everything about pricing was explained to me on my first visit. Though we have Dutch insurance, we don't have vision. But with these prices, it wasn't concern! The eye exam was standard and the man giving it was super nice and was happy to explain everything...even the process. The hardest part is always picking out the glasses. But someone even helped us understand things we might want to look for based on our preferences. And he was super patient considering how long it took for us. Honestly, I'm happy to recommend this place to everyone!

My husband and I were looking forward to buying eyeglass frames in Amsterdam, and when we got…read morethere we looked around the city quite a bit. This was our favorite place; the owner has a small, exquisitely curated selection and we each bought a pair. Cool things about the shop: 1. the frames are not divided into men's and women's. You are free to try them all out with no preconceived ideas, and choose a pair that looks great, that you love. 2. friendly animals work here as well as the owner. 3. the vibe is that rare combination of extremely cool and extremely friendly.

I am visiting Amsterdam and I'm about to go on a cruise. My glasses broke yesterday. I was told by…read moretwo opticians that it would take a week or more to get them fixed. A piece of metal broke around the hinge. They needed to be welded. I had to get them fixed today. Thank goodness I went to Schmidt Optiek and they were able to repair them on the spot. They were very kind and did not even charge me. I'm grateful!

Their attention to detail, professionalism and superb customer service are all far above the rest of the opticians I have used here in Amsterdam. My new glasses were ready (very) quickly, and were 100% correct when I arrived at the shop to pick them up. Many thanks to Murray and Linda for this exceptional service! I can see, I can see!!!

Bad service. I…read morepurchased brand-name prescription glasses here for over $500 and was told at the time of sale that they included a warranty. Later when I called to use my warranty, the lady on the phone refused service and denied that the receptionist who sold me the glasses had offered any warranty. I got the run around when she then seemed like she would make good on the store's word. They instead sent me a bill and held my glasses without service until I paid. I demanded not to pay and got my spectacles back without repair/service/warranty. The shop looks very nice from the outside, but based on this experience I cannot recommend Occhiali Opticiens. Would steer clear if you expect them to guarantee any warranty or service. Won't be back.
