    I have been a loyal customer with 1001 Optical since 2019. The staff here are very nice, easy-going and helpful. I highly recommend the optometrist Nell. I have been seeing him for my eye checks since he was working in Northland shopping center, then in Doncaster shopping center and now the Emporium. He is the most responsible optometrist I have ever seen so far with excellent expertise. For every visit, I got the services beyond my expectation. Go and see the 1001 Optical and book with Nell, you and your family will be in good hands.

    Great experience at 1001 Optical Melbourne. I finally found the perfect multifocal glasses for my everyday activities. High quality products and great services. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommended! P.S. just bought another pair of glasses from 1001 Optical 4 months after I bought the first one! Great product, above and beyond customer service! Thank you!

    Highly recommend Dr Kaixin Huang if you need any spectacles related help, who is excellent in communicating with patients, really gentle and kind when performing eye tests, able to calm nervous patients down, and provide precise results. Also, love the Lindberg frames recommended by Dr Huang, which come with both stylish and durability, the design is thin and feel weightless when you put on, it is the brand worth to have in regards to spectacles.

    I recently completed my eye appointment and bought new glasses from this shop and I can tell you it’s been such a pleasant experience. The people who work there were very helpful, honest and not pushy. They helped me find good glasses by giving me options, providing discounts but in the end let me choose which one I liked. The optometrist, Son, was very thorough when he did my eye test and explained clearly what is happening with my eye. I also wanted to try wearing contact lenses and he happily booked me in for fitting. Several weeks after the contact lenses fitting/trial, I went back to the shop and told him that I found it really challenging to put the lenses myself that I ended up damaging some of them. He understood and gave me new ones for free so I can try again. It was such a good gesture. I will definitely return and maybe get those Thom Browne glasses next year 😉

    Wow experience from stepping in to walk out the door. Vivian is very attentive and assisted me in explaining the different type of glasses/ frames. Without her advice I probably spend hours in the shop. Son has taken his time explaining what happened to me eyes and do extra checks for me. The level of care he has given is more than just transactional. They are helpful, I feel very comfortable and the experience is pleasant. Over 16 years of getting glasses this is the shop I would come back to for any of my opto needs.

    I booked in for an eye test on the AFL public holiday, Nell the optometrist was friendly and professional and he recommended which lenses would be best suited for me. Now that I have my glasses I can confidently recommend seeing Nell. My eyes feel very comfortable in my new glasses and I have him to thank for that

    I had an amazing experience at this glasses shop! The staff was incredibly friendly and helped me find the perfect frames. They have a great selection to choose from, and the optometrist was thorough and professional during my eye exam. I received my glasses quickly and they fit perfectly. Overall, excellent service and top-notch eyewear! Highly recommend! BEST in Melbourne!

  • 5/5 Sungjoon P. 11 months ago on Google
    Here, I had the opportunity to explore high-end brands of sunglasses and glasses that I couldn't find in regular optical shops. With Steve's friendly service and in-depth professional explanations, I could comfortably choose my sunglasses. I think I'll visit again when I need sunglasses or glasses next time. I am grateful for the expansive knowledge shared about the world of sunglasses.

  • 5/5 tomka k. 7 months ago on Google
    Outstanding professional service every time. Wide range of great brands to choose from and knowledgeable advice. The only store for optical and sunnies for me. Thank you for my third pair of glasses now. See you soon for more!

  • 5/5 Demi S. 11 months ago on Google
    Highly Recommended!!! Steve, the manager provided excellent services and helped me to choose the frames. He gave me advice and recommended me what kind of frame looks better on my face. He is always patient with frame adjustments. The glasses I am wearing now is perfect on me after he helped me to adjust the frame. Kaixin Huang, the optometrist is professional with lenses coatings and design, and she helped me out with lenses order. I really appreciate their help. I will definitely come back again and recommend my friends to come to this store.

  • 5/5 Lourens J. 9 months ago on Google
    After an unfortunate incident the left ear of my frame broke off. I started searching for a new frame. I found 1001 online and they had stock. During a call where I was very friendly assisted we confirmed when I could pick the frame up. Upon arrival I meet with two friendly people assisting to get the frame I needed and swopped the lenses over in no time. What a pleasure. I had time to look around and will definitely support them in future with our optometry needs. I highly recommend this team!

  • 5/5 Tiffaney D. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Henghui S. 11 months ago on Google
    It was a fantastic experience! Kaixin Huang, the optometrist performed an eye examination for me and she was very professional. She even noticed that it was my birthday today, which was incredibly thoughtful. The manager Steve helped me find the perfect pair of custom-made Lindberg glasses. The whole process, from the eye examination to leaving the store, took about two hours, and they both demonstrated patience. I will recommend this store to my relatives and friends.

Kaixin is a well experienced optometrist who patiently help me with the eye test and told me how to properly protect my eyes in my daily life. Steve is also very nice to help me find a sunglasses which suits me. Thank you all for my unforgettable experience. Strongly recommended Kaixin Huang doctor for the eye test and 1001 in Emporium🥰

    Am so happy with my new glasses from 1001 Optometry. Really thorough eye & sight examination, excellent service team and a great range of frames including some hard to get brands. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Amy 5 months ago on Google
    Steve and his team at 1001 Optometry in Emporium provide outstanding customer service. I visited the shop multiple times recently to undertake an eye test and try on multiple pairs of frames before finally deciding on the one during my third visit. The team were very personable and patient, and at no point did I feel any pressure to make a hasty purchase. Highly recommend this branch! 👌

  • 5/5 SeokHoon H. 4 months ago on Google
    Steve is very helpful and I guarantee that his knowledge of eyeglasses is extremely amazing. Today was my 2nd pair from him. Definitely, I will visit him again and again. I would love to rate his professionalism 10 out of 5. It is shame that Google only allows you to rate up to 5 stars whereas he deserves 10 stars.

  • 5/5 Judy L. 4 months ago on Google
    I visited the 1001 Optometry at Emporium. I was helped by Kaixin Huang, and she did eye test for me and provided decent opinions with me, and helped me on choosing a sunglasses. I really appreciate her help and recommend 1001 Optometry Emporium store to everyone.

  • 5/5 Allen L. 4 months ago on Google
    Had a very good experience here. Bethany is very professional, what I get is what I want. Five stars without a doubt!

  • 5/5 Albert van P. 2 years ago on Google
    I was looking for new spectacles and finally found the right fit for me at 1001 Optical. I was initially hesitant between single vision distance or bifocal lenses. After some discussion of the pro’s n cons I opted for the bifocal lenses and I must say I couldn’t be happier. My world looks sharp and the lenses are top quality. Very happy indeed with the service I received at 1001 Optical at the Emporium in Melbourne CBD.

  • 5/5 Samuel H. 2 years ago on Google
    Cutting-edge brands (seriously clever engineering) and fantastic customer service from Steve. Can’t recommend enough. If you wear glasses every day you should invest in a decent pair, and this store is where you should do that.

  • 5/5 Benson R. 2 years ago on Google
    good quality products and also best service from the staff,gonna come back again next time.

  • 5/5 Ting H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great variety of frames, excellent customer service with friendly attentive staff. Both my husband and I are very satisfied. This will be our go to place from now on for new pair of specs:)

  • 5/5 Jong K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's very nice place with staff. I had a few examinations. It's a good quality glasses, lenses and warranty. I fully recommend this shop.

  • 5/5 Daniel Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Steve was great he handled my inquiry exactly and precisely. Definitely recommend him to everyone :)

  • 5/5 Ming 2 years ago on Google
    Staff with encyclopedic knowledge of their products, polite, patient and thoughtful. I recently made a pair of multifocal a few days before the 4th Covid lockdown in Melbourne. I thought I will have to wait for the lockdown to be lifted before I can get my spectacles. So, I really appreciate it when I received a call one afternoon that my spectacles were ready for collection during the lockdown. I have very high short sightedness, and so, require the very lightest of spectacle frame. Steve was great in helping me choose one, and while doing so, demonstrated a fountain of knowledge of the different manufacturer of frames.

  • 5/5 Li D. 2 years ago on Google
    I always had good experiences at 1001 Optical at both Doncaster and Emporium Melbourne where Steve is the manager. Very impressed by his professionalism, attention to details and excellent customer service. Also really happy with the cutting-edge brands. Thank you for the great products and service. I would recommend the business to anyone.

  • 5/5 Frederic S. 2 years ago on Google
    Received my glasses, extremely satisfied. Thoroughly happy with the recommendations of Maui Gim sunglasses, now I can enjoy my summer riding in great comfort. Thank you Vivian, your attention to details, good knowledge in brands and most friendly service are highly appreciated. Thank you for being so genuine, honest and caring. Will introduce all my friends to 1001 Emporium!

  • 5/5 Esther J. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience at the 1001 Optical Emporium has always been pleasant. They have an approachable team of staff members that employ a predominantly welcoming manner while maintaining impressive professionalism. They have patiently responded to my enquiries and provided appropriate answers accordingly. I received much help from Steve, who was consistently willing to offer assistance when choosing my glasses, processing orders, and so on. His in-depth knowledge of the products is truly astonishing. It's a pleasure to have a reliable place for optical health services. I'm continually satisfied with their service and thus would highly recommend this store.

  • 5/5 Hannah M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff at this 1001 Optical - I brought in broken sunglasses (lens popped out, temple/arm skew) and they fixed them in 5 minutes for free, they looked good as new. Couldn't recommend the staff here more.

  • 5/5 Sean H. 1 year ago on Google
    Not usually a Google reviewer but I have to for 1001 Opticals. Steve was so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable in what he does. Great range of high quality frames and lens, just as I was overwhelmed with the options available Steve came to rescue with top notched fashion advice 👌🏻 Would totally come back here again for my future pair.

    Steve and the team have been excellent. Great range of frames but most of all, great customer service. Despite issues that were out of their hands, Steve went above and beyond to try and help me out. Really appreciate all the effort and made me feel valued as a customer!

  • 5/5 Joyce S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've recently visited the store for an eye test, and have to say it was the most detailed and smooth experience I had ever had. Selina is so friendly and was quickly able to diagnose me with dry eyes symptoms which I actually didn't realise myself. She also recommended me some products to help. Great customer service from all the other staff as well, highly recommended! 👍

  • 5/5 Preston P. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely great experience getting glasses from 1001 opticals with Steve. They had such a wide selection and Steve knew exactly which ones would fit my face the best. He's really knowledge. After the glasses arrived, he adjusted them and the fit is perfect. Thanks again

  • 5/5 Rhys T. 2 years ago on Google
