Considering that I don't really know where many of the Optometrists are in Adelaide except for the…read moreodd OPSM, Laubman & Pank needs to be considered also. It looks like they offer a large variety of eye glasses, but I must explain how awesome the customer service attendant behind the counter was towards me. Ask for Melissa, she's actually the Assistant Store Manager. Melissa has customer service abilities that could save mankind (well some of us anyway) and her phone and communication skills puts any call centre consultant to shame. I explained to her that as a son, I didn't want my Dad waiting for two months before he got seen by his eye specialist (the eye specialist my Dad has is very popular and busy that you have to book at least two months in advance, so we had to re-strategise). She's so dang understanding that even after our discussion, I find myself blabbing away about how she truly wanted to help my Dad's eyes or how she agreed with my strategies. Fortunately for her, my Dad is a loyal customer who didn't lose faith in their company. Was it the way she really listened to me? Was it the fact that she put up with my disagreements? Sure. She was fantastic. But of all the worthy qualities Melissa demonstrated, nothing turned me on more than her genuine care towards my Dad's eyes and went the extra mile for me. A woman who cares about helping my dear Dad -- even if not by her own ideas, but by her carefully listening to me, will always win my heart. (hmm....girls who listen to me turn me on!)

Choosing frames at the end with such a competent and friendly professional was just like fun shopping with a bestie! Over several visits and phonecalls I've gained a great impression and dealt with many staff members. All have been so professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They are also sensitive to individual needs. A massive range of styles and prices, specialised fitting, personalised advice, special offers (such as their current free lens upgrade) and great benefits for members, clearly shows this is the perfect place for eye checks and glasses.

(FYI, I totally guessed a D in a slight moment of panic and it turned out to be correct! Good one, Brain.) OPSM is now in the same building as Australia Post and Woolworths, which is right at the end of Jetty Road. (Brighton Road end) This was my first appointment since I was 16, so I was a bit nervous going by myself. The last optometrist I saw didn't explain anything and the selection of glasses weren't the most fashionable. The optometrist I saw was Robert Seiler. He was really friendly and explained everything well. You can have a couple more tests done, for a smallish extra fee but I opted out this time. It turns out my random correct guessing of the small text didn't fool anyone. I was helped by a lovely assistant, whose name I unfortunately can't remember, and chose a fashionable pair of reading glasses. They have what I'd say is a perfect amount of choices. All up, the entire appointment (including the glasses and $29 insurance on them) was meant to cost $400, but thanks to Medicare and Bupa, I only spent $200! Bupa gives you 20% off your glasses :) So if you're in need of an eye test, I'd definitely recommend this OPSM.
