Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality of the products, particularly the glasses and lenses, which are often highlighted for their stylish designs and durability. Many people appreciate the inclusive and transparent pricing, finding the costs very reasonable, especially given the high prescription options and added benefits like lens thinning at no extra charge. The staff are frequently commended for being friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and providing excellent, non-pressured service. However, some customers experienced minor issues, such as a limited initial range of frames or a wait to speak with staff. A few people also reported needing multiple adjustments for their glasses or experiencing blurred vision with varifocals, though these issues were often resolved by the company.

Team in the store were always super welcoming!

The team in the store were always super welcoming! When I experienced an issue with the fitting of my new glasses Jazmine very kindly investigated this and the team re-ordered my frames free of charge. They even followed up with me at a later date to check this issue was resolved which it has been. Thank you!

Excellent service

Excellent service, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Took prescription, measured up and got great glasses 2 weeks later. Due to a high prescription I had to get the very thinned lenses and even then the cost was a third of other places. Great quality frames and the varifocal lenses are the best yet (not the same as being able to read prior to needing them but still better than the previous from an expensive high street brand.) would definitely recommend (and have done!)

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!

Brilliant independent glasses store

Hurray - now there’s a new Iolla in Richmond. Really good selection of lovely well made frames in a great variety of different styles & colours which are light & well fitting. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I bought 2 pairs of glasses & 1 pair of sunglasses. The value for money is incredible as it includes frame & thin lenses. As my prescription is complicated & I need varifocals it was more than the standard price but I still paid for 3 pairs what it would cost for 1 pair in other contemporary independent glasses stores. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you to James & all the staff.

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.

IOLLA at Bruntsfield. Highly Recommended

IOLLA at Bruntsfield.
Nice showroom, great selection of frames. I quite literally fond the frames I liked almost immediately, and I am fussy and had tried several other opticians without success. The choice here is varied and unique.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful (both when I ordered and when I collected my glasses).
Glasses were ready when they said they would be. Been wearing them for around 3 week now and I am delighted. The frames and lenses (vari focal and reactlight) were just what I was looking for.
I was told that this is 100% a Scottish Business - what's not to like??
IOLLA get a huge recommendation from me, and thanks for the outstanding service!

Such good and straightforward service

Such good and straightforward service, at the initial stage and collection point. Lovely ,helpful and engaging staff throughout. And they didn't mind a very wet dog and grateful owner from drying off in the shop.

Excellent staff, notification means should be improved

Excellent, friendly helpful staff. They were patient and made some helpful suggestions.
When I went to collect the specs the person helping was also friendly and helpful
One problem was the notification to let me know my order was ready. No email seemed to have arrived. After 12 days I phoned and a further email was sent, went into spam folder. It might make more sense to notify customers by text so no possibility of any notification going into spam folder

Thank you so much for your kind feedback Muriel! we’re really pleased to hear that our team made your experience a positive one. It’s great to know you found our staff friendly, patient, and helpful throughout your visit.

We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the notification when your order was ready. Our emails sometimes slip into the spam/junk folder based on your email preferences. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially having to follow up after 12 days. Your suggestion about text message notifications is really helpful, and we’ll certainly take a look into this.

Thank you again for your feedback, we truly appreciate it and hope to see you again soon.
