It was my first time buying from IOLLA but it won't be my last. I never enjoy shopping for glasses I have a strong prescription and a lot of the frames I can't buy. I end up with a pair of extortionat... See more

The Edinburgh Iolla shop was busy when I visited on Tuesday 10th March. There was a bit of a wait to speak to a member of staff, but it was also quite nice not to be pressured by people constantly asking Can I help you. 😀
Cost of specs and choice was what attracted me to Iolla and I will definitely go back.

1st Time Customer

Got myself a new pair of varifocals (1st time for these) and some prescription sunglasses. I thought you guys were great through the whole experience. Great range of subtle, retro looking glasses, there shop assistants were really helpful, smart and knowledgeable, and the price was so, so competitive. Who needs a pair of designer frames when you can have a cut down version which looks just as good, if not better. Appreciated the 'return your varifocals if you're struggling with them too, (I'm getting on great with them anyway). Would highly recommend,and have already recommended to a few bespectacled friends!

IOLLA New glasses - stress free experience

I had a great experience at IOLLA. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to choosing my frames. There is a huge selection of styles and colours from different designers all at a very affordable price. Which is a big plus these days of high prices. I am extremely happy with my choice, they are comfortable to wear and stylish. I would definitely recommend IOLLA.

I had to go to the shop for 5 times to adjust my glasses and I still can’t wear them as I feel a lot of pressure from one side, the manager I spoke with wasn’t very pleasant and just wanted to send me away while the rest of the staff was nice and tried to help. Definitely not getting the other pair as I can hardly wear this one.

Professional friendly and top class service

From the moment I arrived until the day i picked up my glasses, i received the warmest of welcomes from all staff. Everyone in Iolla is super helpful and even the after care is second to none. I highly recommend the Edinburgh St James store.

Sun glasses and reading glasses

Had sun glasses and reading glasses made, amazing service. Reading glasses delivered to my home fit perfectly. I would highly recommend getting glasses from IOLLA this is my third set and not had a problem with any of them. The staff are very helpful and honest if you need to pick glasses on your own, no pressure from them they give you time to try lots on and are there if you need them.
