Gardiners Opticians is a family run business just off the main stretch in Headington…read more My family and I have been using them for years. 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.

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.

It may be a little shabby upstairs but they do a very thorough examination and they're all very friendly and laid back.

I recommended this place to my girlfriend and after a couple of bad experiences with prisms and other opticians, they got her right first time. Sorted her out with a good quality set of frames too. Big time recommendation.

CBTR Opticians in Old Town Beaconsfield is hands down the very best I've ever encountered. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed warmly and offered a drink--from a menu that even includes alcoholic options! Their cutting-edge equipment is impressive, and Hayley (the owner) is both extremely professional and unfailingly friendly. In fact, every member of staff delivers the same high standard of service. My eye examination was so thorough that a potential issue was flagged well before it could develop, and Hayley immediately arranged a referral to a specialist, handling all the communication on my behalf. The after-care is just as exceptional: you can message Hayley on WhatsApp with any queries, and she always replies promptly at no extra charge--it's simply part of their top-notch service. The practice stocks an extensive range of designer frames, from classic to avant-garde, and offer premium lenses and finishes to suit every budget. For those of us with more complex prescriptions, CBTR's monthly payment plan is unbeatable--unlimited eye tests plus generous discounts on frames and lenses. My wife and I opted for their family plan, and it's already paid for itself. I cannot recommend CBTR highly enough. It's a joy to support such a committed, independent local business that truly values its customers.

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!

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.
