Efficient service and great price
Efficient service and great price. Although a long term user of daily lenses, this was my first order from The Optical Store, prompted by their pricing. Order processed and shipped quickly with the delivery following just a few days later. Cannot ask for more than that - simple, easy order process with efficient service for a very competitive price.

The Optical Store ticks all the boxes!
I'm on a low income so the price is a huge consideration. I wear the MyDay multifocal lenses, which aren't the cheapest. Also, I'm able to order just one box, which a lot of online shops won't facilitate. Add in the quick delivery, what's not to like?

Excellent service
I recently ordered contact lenses from the Optical Store. I wear a brand for astigmatism that is sometimes hard to get hold of. When they hadn't arrived after some time, I contacted the store who found out they had gone missing in the post. As it could possibly have taken a while to get hold of a fresh pair, they offered me an upgraded brand in their place, which I actually turned down as I've not been able to tolerate another brand in the past. However, my original order arrived within days of our correspondence! Very happy customer.

Very good experience
Fast delivery, had a couple of questions before ordering and they were very responsive. Delivery came and something was missing and they were no fuss - immediately sending out the item.
Really good customer service and good prices.

Good service and price, disappointing packaging
Good service and price, but poor packaging. Can an alternative to plastic tape, eg paper tape, be used to make whole packaging fully recyclable? Think about our planet please, most people wouldn’t remove the plastic tape which would mean box would not be recyclable!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. All of the boxes we use to dispatch orders are fully recyclable and tape is used where necessary to protect items during transit. However we appreciate your feedback and will pass this on to our team. Thanks again and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
