Yes, this is the biggest OPSM in Australia. With multiple testing rooms, and literally thousands of…read moreoptions when it comes to frames, this is a great place to book when you need an eye wear update. The thing that really makes this store is the staff. After a recent eye test by one of the friendly optometrists I was handed over to Trent. His job (as far as I can tell) is to help people find the most flattering pair of glasses through a process of patient comparison. He was awesome and spent a good 30 minutes following me around the store, suggesting frames, and carrying them all in a little box so I could then look at them all together. He was a great help and made my experience actually fun, instead of the usual "I want to poke my eyes out" ordeal that comes with buying new frames. So, apart from Trent, OPSM Hub has a number of playback video screens scattered around the store. How do they work? Strut about in front of the screen in your potential new frames one after the other, and then play them all back in a row so you can compare. Genius.

I already knew that Manager here, Nigel, is marvellous. His customer service is outstanding, he…read morealways does his best for me and always has a smile and warm welcoming manner. But now I also know that the Optometrist here, Lois, is very good too. She is caring, she makes me feel like I am getting her full attention and that she cares about how she works with me. I will be transferring my visits to here, rather than my previous OPSM location near my office in the city. Well done, keep it up.

Luckily I didn't need new glasses but had a great experience buying some new sunglasses and got a good deal! I highly recommend Jason Teh at in2eyes for professional eye care.

Funnily enough I was brought to Funky Spex by my mother - a woman whose tastes are dubious at the best of times. At least she got this right. Funky Spex has great glasses. They've got super-modern-intellectual-architect style frames, and secretary in Mad Men vintage frames. They also have some plain and simple frames too if that's what your into. They also have optometrists who can give you an eye examination, and a fleet of helpful sales assistants who will happily spend hours with you browsing the collection and giving advise about which frames suit you best. They aren't cheap, but the quality is there and the frames really are unique. I always receive compliments about my frames (check out my profile picture if you want to see them). They also have a section attached to the main store that sells discounted stock, where you can try and pick up some bargain frames. Friendly service and unique frames make Funky Spex a winner.

They may be Marc Jacobs but they were chosen in haste. A spectacle faux pas that could easily have been avoided had I known about Funky Spex on Johnston Street. A boutique specialising in unusual spectacles and sunglasses by cult brands such as Oliver Goldsmith and Thierry Lasry, Funky Spex has its very own idiosyncratic optical style along with sales assistants that look like they'd be equally at home as stylists on some esoteric lifestyle magazine. The selection really is extraordinary with an emphasis on brightly coloured, retro spectacles and the kind of sunglasses that are almost too beautiful to wear. If you have a thing for high-end eyewear and don't mind spending a few bob procuring probably the most beautiful pair of specs you'll ever set eyes on, you should visit Funky Spex.

Every now and then I come to see Dr. Coote for a general check up. One time a few years ago he…read morespotted a little abnormality in my right eye and referred me to a surgeon. Turns out I had a hole in my retina. Despite having had gone to the optometrist plenty of times, they never picked up on it. Thanks to Dr. Coote I was able to get it mended and stop any further complication. Up until this day I see Dr. Coote every so often to get a thorough examination because I know with his wealth of experience and knowledge I'm in good hands. And if anything were to come up again, he's going to catch it. Plus it also help that he is a really nice guy, with great sense of humour.
