Excellent service from this company
Excellent service from this company, they are helpful and went the extra mile to get my lenses to me earlier, in order to meet my going on holiday deadline. I'm so pleased and will definitely buy from them again. All very much appreciated. Thank you.

Excellent product
Excellent product, excellent delivery time. 4 stars only because the 10% off your first order code is only for some products. Which ironically you'd need glasses for to see on the website.

I compared prices and the optical store had the cheapest price for the contact lenses I wanted. Ordered 18/05 at night and the order got processed 24 hours later.
Received today 21/05 by Royal Mail. So overall 3 business days. Great. Would purchase again

Best price, and the lens were here the next day!
Ordered precision 1 disposable lens. The optical store was offering the best price (by far).
Really needed the lenses quite quickly as I stupidly ran out of stock, lucky the whole purchase was smooth and the lenses arrived the next day.
Absolute pleasure when everything goes so smoothly with a merchant you try for the first time. I’ll defo be back!

Extremely good Customer service and support
Extremely good prices, great customer service and fast delivery & order processing.
The only downside of my transaction was that one of my contacts were cancelled automatically because of a selection error on the website, and so I ordered a non-existent prescription; I would have preferred to be able to choose a replacement and pay the difference or another outcome.
Otherwise, excellent service, especially the customer support. They are extremely active.

Hassle free and reliable service
Always prompt delivery and reliable. I'm a repeat customer and very pleased with the orders I have placed with The Optical Store.
Once I made a mistake and contacted customer service to amend the order, it was rapidly resolved and my order (correct one) was delivered as expected.
Completely hassle free!
Competitive prices, excellent customer service. Rare qualities in an online service.

Ordered and delivered super fast basically next day. I’m a repeat customer and have purchased from The Optical Store in June 2025. They were a few days slower back then but have definitely learned and improved on their packing and shipping processes. Very happy and will buy from them. The prices were very competitive.
