    Great place with a very good eye test. I was a bit nervous, not having an eye test for so long - in case there was something wrong. But the test turned out fine and the optician was very friendly, and the feedback on my eyes put me at ease finally. Thanks to Shawlands Optical Express for this test !

    Staff are really friendly and helpful. The only issue I had was the appointment time. I was sent 3 different times. This isn't the branches fault but the central system.

    Went for an eye exam today and was made to feel very comfortable. Susie was very friendly and professional, explaining everything as she went. The front desk staff were also very polite and knowledgeable. They never had the frames that suited me so they have placed an order from their warehouse for me to try on before I buy, great customer service and not pressured into buying anything right away

    I had a great experience here yesterday, 11th October 2019. Not my usual opticians but I passed by to ask about an examination to test my field of vision following a health scare. The branch had availability later that afternoon, and on returning I received absolutely outstanding service from the team there. Very professional, very courteous, great at explaining everything and making sure that I was totally satisfied. By the time I returned home, I had an email containing a PDF copy of my prescription plus notes and tips on eyecare and options. 100% recommended - a great store, and real asset to Shawlands.

    A couple of Satudays ago I popped in to Optical Express, Shawlands and Jan sorted out my mangled specs for me in no time at all. She also completed a specs MOT, tightening screws and adjusting the nose pads and finishing with a thorough clean. Excellent! Thank you.

    I had a very positive experience at my local branch in Shawlands - the staff are all really friendly and helpful. Everything was explained well and the advice I was given for my ongoing eye care was very clear. I appreciated the help in choosing new frames too, which was fun! In short, I have nothing but praise for the staff...they all know what they're doing and are very friendly.
