Great help finding the right glasses

Ream was amazing and so honest with what suited me best. She wasn't focused on just selling a pair of glasses, but on helping me find the right ones, and she found them for me! I love them and have received so many compliments! Great service!

Excellent Customer Service

I decided to try glasses lab for both my eye test and new glasses having never loved the well known opticians on the high street.

The optician did a really thorough eye exam and due to some underlying health issues I had mentioned, performed additional tests that gave me comfort as I suffer with health anxiety.

The shop team spent lots of time with me, helping select frames and ensuring the glasses were properly fitted - I have very wonky eyebrows and my glasses always require lots of adjustments so not to look crooked. By doing this first it ensured my pupil measurement was accurate. This is the first optician to have ever done it that way around and probably why I never feel my prescription is quite right previously. This also meant collecting them was quick and easy as they fitted first go.

Staff are so helpful, knowledgable and friendly. They stock great frames and I think competitive on price.

I will continue to use them.

Child lenses prescription missing NHS voucher code

Took my daughter to get eyesight test. Daughter did not like the frames Glasseslab held in stock so requested lens prescription which we could take to other opticians. Needed to chase up for lens prescription a few days later as it was not emailed out. Took daughter to another shop where she found some frames she liked. However, the emailed prescription from Glasseslab did not have NHS voucher code. While at other shop I called Glasseslab to request the voucher and authorisation code. Optician not in Glasseslab store so staff member could not assist. Since we spent enough time choosing a frame while at other shop we just proceeded with glasses purchase without the NHS voucher so as not to have to make another 30mile round-trip on another day. So frustrating that we had to chase for prescription and also not having the NHS voucher code which was the whole point of having a prescription we could take to other opticians. Would have waited for the NHS voucher code and ordered the frame online with the other opticians but you cannot order glasses online for under-16's so a physical shop visit is required.

28-Jan-25: NHS voucher and authorisation code was emailed through but unfortunately the voucher code was not accepted as incorrect in email.

Hi Jimmy

Update: The NHS voucher code was double checked and the correct information was given to you. If the Optician you went to was having problems processing it through their system as advised they can contact us directly and we'd be happy to help with any further information they require.

We just wanted to follow up on the disappointing 2 star review for us regarding the GOS code and prescription and to apologise for any delay or miscommunication.

The code was sent out first thing the next morning by our Greenwich manager from when we received the request as we didn't have an Optometrist in store to authorise this immediately. As it is a part of a medical prescription we do not allow any information to be sent without an Optometrist check. Registered Opticians will always require an Optometrist sign off for these procedures in particular when dispensing an under 16 due to legal regulations. We dispense many prescriptions from other Opticians often when a code is not immediately available and we as the dispensing Optician would normally obtain the code directly from the prescribing Optician whilst the glasses are being made up to avoid the loss of the voucher. If you contact the Optician you got the glasses from they should still be able to process it then refund you on the voucher amount once they process at their end. Finally our stores were closed until 2nd January which I appreciate caused a delay in confirming the prescription request but we emailed it as soon as it had been checked by an Optometrist. As a small business our reviews are really important to us so we are really disappointed in causing you this frustration.

Please accept our apologies once again.

Kind Regards

Dee Patel
Optometrist Director

Great opticians in Greenwich

Tried these after my usual opticians stopped doing NHS. Only slightly less scared of opticians than I am of dentists but these were great. Quick appointment, very thorough eye test, and they fitted my new lenses into my old frames. I can now see clearly again!

A really good experience in the Greenwich store, from the care and knowledge of the optician through the staff's help and advice when choosing frames, to the collection of new glasses. All very smooth and I would thoroughly recommend.

Exceptional Experience at Glasseslab

I have been using Glasseslab for my optical needs for the last few years and went to their Greenwich store recently and had a fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive. They took the time to understand my needs and helped me find the perfect pair of glasses.

The selection of eyewear was impressive, with a wide variety of styles and brands. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the frames and lenses. The staff was knowledgeable and provided great recommendations based on my face shape and style preferences.

In terms of pricing, I found their rates to be quite reasonable, especially considering the high-quality products they offer.

Overall, my experience at Glasseslab was top-notch. I left feeling confident in my new glasses and appreciated the personalized service. I highly recommend this store to anyone in need of eyewear—be it glasses or contacts. You won’t be disappointed!

Great choice. Fabulous customer service.

James was fantastic and answered all my queries - and quite frankly - was a pleasure to speak to. San and Sandra in the Greenwich branch made everything so very easy for me. Two great girls! Choice fabulous. Highly recommended.

Pure class!

Popped into GlassesLab Bromley while passing to ask if they could adjust a pair of frames that I had recently purchased online elsewhere. I was warmly greeted by Rebecca and Henry saying happy to do so. Rebecca informed me as the frames had thick acetate arms they were not designed to be bent downwards over the ears but that she could slightly bend the bridge and also curve the arm tips inward for a more snug fit which I was after. I also had another acetate frame which Rebecca kindly adjusted too. Both frames fitted so much better afterwards and when I offered to pay was told no charge which I was surprised at. Both Rebecca and Henry were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. GlassesLab stock a fantastic range of frames and I would not hesitate to seek their help and guidance in choosing my next pair!
