Outstanding help from Beckii in picking out some new glasses after being disappointed in my first pair with a different person. She bared with me, recommending different pairs of glasses, and was very observant and honest about each pair I tried on. She was knowledgeable in the current fashion trends, how a pair of glasses should fit and was welcoming, kind and attentive. Really happy with the service I got today - highly recommend.

I attended for an emergency eye consultation following an accident at work where some plastic had got lodged in my eye. From entering the store the customer advisers were polite and helpful and made me feel at ease. The optician, Sophie, was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and successfully recovered little bits of plastic from my eye, completely alleviating all pain. I received follow up care and the whole experience was great.

Very good service and advice

S. H.

I came for an eye test and received great customer service; from the initial health test to the actual eye test, the staff was very attentive and friendly. I brought my four month old son who became slightly unsettled towards the end and so I asked the member of staff (I missed to ask for her name) to hold him whilst I carried out the last part of my test - he was sick all over her lovely blouse but she took it with a smile. As a new mum I appreciated her understanding which ultimately made me feel relaxed and at ease.

Everyone was lovely at Cameron toll,

G. A.

All I can say about Optical Express in Cameron Toll Shopping Centre is their service is absolutely wonderful. After an accident on Fireworks night where I slipped on the wet grass and went face first into the ground, buckling my glasses and the lens falling out, Optical Express repaired them at no cost. Wonderful service, 5 Stars

I can only compliment the staff at the cameron toll branch in Edinburgh. They are always very friendly whilst being professional. They always greet you with a smile and assist you in a non pushy way.... 5 stars girls... The prices are also very competitive on contact lenses and glasses eg I am now saving £25 per month on my monthly contacts!?

Very welcoming staff, good atmosphere in the shop warm and friendly, very attentive at all times. The appointment was explained fully by Nikita who reassured me at all times what the pre-tests involved and what they were for. When choosing glasses Nikita advised me what was best for me as I work on a computer all day, She was very professional and knowledgable and is a asset to your company. I would also like to comment on other members of staff who were all very friendly and made myself and my disabled mum feel very welcome in the shop. The optom Judy made me feel as ease and was very thorough again reassuring me at all times and explaining my perscription to me. Thank you Opitcal Express Cameron Toll for fantastic customer service.

Great service, very friendly staff would recommend

F. R.

I had my eyes tested and chose two spectacle frames at The Cameron Toll store. The service from Beckii was excellent: She was very friendly and efficient in conducting the preliminary tests on my eyesight. She ensured all my details were correct before being I was fully tested by the optometrist. The optometrist, Sarah, was very thorough and explained all the steps very comprehensively, including most importantly how the prescription for my new spectacles would affect and enhance my sight. Great service all round!

T. C.

I recently upgraded my glasses at this opticians. The options available to me were explained clearly and I was helped to choose the perfect frame. When my new glasses arrived they were expertly fitted. The staff at this store could not of been more helpful, polite and professional. Great service - will definitely use again!

J. R.

Visited this store as I had a very sore eye. Staff were very friendly and although they had a full diary they managed to fit me in with the optician between appointments. It turned out I had an eye infection and Anthony the optician was very thorough in his examination and prescribed eye drops. They arranged a follow up appointment two days later to check the pressure in the eyes and a final appointment a week later. Really pleased with the service received. Will definitely be back for all my optical requirements

P. H.

Optical express is the 3rd optician I have used and I can say without question the customer service and advice was by far the best. No pushy sales, the assistant listened to my requirements and suggested frames on that basis alone. I would not consider using any other optician in the future.

D. D.

I had a very thorough sight test and health check of my eyes,professionally conducted by Anthony Bradley the optom . I was very pleased with my eye test and the results. I was then helped by a lovely young lady called Nikita. She chose me a fab frame which I can't wait to pick up. Overall a pleasant and positive experience which I would recommend to family and friends. Thank you Team Cameron Toll

D. W.

All staff were friendly, helpful and keen for me to have the best possible service. It would have easily been a 5 star review, but there was a problem getting my details sent to the credit company they use. This may not be their fault but it did spoil my otherwise exceptionally positive experience.

K. T.

I had a problem with my glasses frame as the wee screw was lost, tried few places asking whether they could help and fix and they kept sending me away. Went to Cameron Toll and met Leah and she did it! Couldn't believe my eyes when she came back with fixed frame, could have cuddled her out of happiness as those are my favourite glasses and was very upset when got broken. 6 stars for Leah, thank you so much for it!

D. Y.

Was efficient enough to make me think they knew what they were doing. One down side I qualified for a free pair of specs but I still ended up having to pay £90 for them. They also said they would email me my prescription still waiting even after informing them when I picked up my glasses.

J. E.

Outstanding service. I wandered in on a busy afternoon and was greeted by Ashley who was welcoming & reassuring (I'm not good at shopping) she knew exactly what would suit me and picked out the perfect frames 1st time, I tried on half the shop but she'd got it spot on right away! Amna managed to fit me in for an eye exam almost right away and was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I usually put off getting new glasses but quite enjoyed it this time, I hope Ashley & Amna are still there next time, I'll definitely come back to optical express.

L. S.

Needed a nose pad replaced on my glasses - even though they were bought elsewhere. Diane was so friendly and helpful. Sorted it right away and did not charge me for the service. I will definitely be going there for future reading glasses upgrades.

G. W.

I had broken my glasses, was in need of a new pair, and was also looking to get contact lenses again. I was helped immensely by the lovely employee of Optical Express. She did everything I wanted to do, and she made me feel a lot better following on from my glasses problem.

V. R. F. M. T.

Overall the service was good. Caring and friendly. I would suggest, that it's good service to talk your way through the process during the first checks, I had to ask a few times for him to explain what was going on. It's also good to clean the equipment before a patient uses it.

R. M.

First eye test in awhile, Dechlan talked me through the process. I was very unsure on what glasses worked for me and he was very patient and suggested lots of really nice pairs. Made sure I understood everything before going ahead with the payment too. Overall great atmosphere!

D. M.

Had a lovely lady serving me. I wanted the new glasses just like my current ones but the shop did not have it and I did not find any other pair and, therefore I decided to keep my old frames. The shop had an offer of "spend over £100 and get a free pair of sunglasses". My final bill, even reusing my own frames was £385 and I was very disappointed to learn that I could not get the sunglasses deal because I did not buy new rims. It did not feel fair after having chosen to spend so much on specialised lenses. Paradoxically if I had bought the cheapest rims and the cheapest lenses, all for a total of £101 I would have two pairs of glasses. I really think that Optical Express should rethink their offers' policy in order to keep their customers happy as that was not the feeling I left the store with.

N. C.

Fantastic customer service, was kept informed throughout about any waits involved and was helped with my buying decision while I was being indecisive. Great experience!

R. M.

Just had eyes tested and fitted for new glasses. All staff were helpful, friendly and explained procedures clearly. Special thanks to Donna for helping me with frame choices - never an easy task for a male on his own!

j. b.

I had an emergency appointment and was blessed to be sent here, I was met by a very friendly young woman called leah, she was amazing calmed me down was very patient with me and very professional. I then seen another young lady the optition called Sarah, she was also very professional and very calming even tho these lady's appeared to be under staffed at no point was I made feel rushed or a burden. Thank you so much for your kindness you both showed me. I have now had my biopsy and waiting on the results. I honestly cant thank you both enough you are a credit to your profession. X

D. a.

My wife and I had a check up in Optical Express at the end of March 2017. The sales assistant/optician, Donna, spent at least 40 minutes with us showing the various frames that would suit our particular face shapes and talked us through the options available. Donna was incredibly knowledgeable about our prescriptions and gave us incredibly helpful, friendly and informed advice. We both weren't looking forward to choosing new frames but Donna made it easy. All the other staff we encountered were also very friendly and professional - thank you for all of your help!

K. F.

Great service as expected. Lovely to catch up with Lynne Gillan who I first met nearly 18 yrs ago when I suffered a detached retina. She was superb then as she was today.

C. R.

I had an eye test and chose two spectacle frames at Optical Express's Cameron Toll store recently. Leah conducted all the preliminary eye tests and helped both myself and my husband to choose frames. She was easy to deal with, very patient and very professional. Sarah, the optometrist, was very thorough with my eye tests and gave me a very good assessment of my current eyesight situation and a good explanation of my needs in terms of lens type, strengths, etc.

R. G.

Glad to see store open again. I needed more contact lenses as I was running short. Ordered some more and they arrived a few days later. Great service. Thanks.

K. B.

Very helpful Good selection of frames

L. H.

Very thorough eye test, felt very looked after and really appreciated the help I got to pick a frame that suited me following the test. Would highly recommend!

R. C.

I'm cautious about people in genral , however when I went back to optical express to get my eyes tessted, I was treated decent . I wasnt talked down to or made to feel small . It was a good experience in all. I want to say a big thanks to everyone who was there to help. Everyone had masks on and plenty of hand sanitizer around to use. Thank you all.

L. D.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. When buying glasses, I was given honest advice and didn’t feel pressured into a sale at any stage. Very impressed!

F. W.

The member of staff that was assisting me today was very helpful. And made the process of choosing new glasses and sunglasses very easy! Lots of different ones to choose from in store and I'm sure I'll love them when they arrive.

R. C.

As a tourist whose glasses' frames needed some adjustment, I sought assistance at OpticalExpress Cameron Toll. Diane was only too happy to help me and made the required adjustments while I waited. Her efficient help was much appreciated and spoke well of the business. Thank you Diane and OpticalExpress CameronToll.

I. M.

I was really pleasantly surprised, Very polite ladies, even though I didn't buy glasses in their salon, was no problem to help me fix my glasses , I will definitely come back when I buy another pair. Thank you

K. B.

Louise runs a very professional opticians, explained everything in an easy to follow way and assisted me greatly in choosing frames that suited my face rather than just steering me to the expensive frames. Thoroughly recommend

E. W.

Very professional, punctual and safe appointment. All staff were extremely friendly and knowledgable. Really really pleased with my visit

R. H.

These guys were actually closed on Sunday near to 6pm but the shutter was half open. I cheekily asked if the staff in the shop could fix my broken glasses and they said yes! Amazingly friendly and helpful and got me out of a fix! Thx so much!

E. F.

Visited today (10th March) to get my eyes tested. The Optimetrist was excellent and very helpful and efficient. Likewise the sales assistant (surname was Forbes but can’t remember her first name) was very helpful.

C. Y.

I popped in to ask if they could repair my sunglasses as the small screw had fallen out at one side. I told the girl that I hadn’t got the sunglasses in optical express and despite this she still repaired them for me and didn’t charge me anything. Great service very grateful 😀

P. M.

Great customer service! Staff were knowledgeable, professional and polite. I had some flowers with me and they put them in water while I was getting my eye exam - my wife appreciated the unwilted lillies. Many thanks!

A. B.

Excellent service. Thorough eye test by Lynn, pre test checks and ordering done with Leah. Both were very professional, friendly, efficient and helpful.

K. M.

Was at Optical express today to have an eye test and get new glases. The Staff were very pleasant and helpful (especially donna who helped pick out frames and Alex the Optomotrist) not sure of the person who took the other tests (like periferal vision). They explained everything i needed to know and ordered a pair of glasses and 2nd pair for sunglasses. All were polite and very professional and knew what they were talking about. Went oin a saturday so was not very busy when i went. Update: Got my Glasses and all is good. Edward helped me get used to them as this is the first time using Varyfocals. Pleased with the help and customer services is great.

E. K.

I went to Optical Express at Cameron Toll Edinburgh for a first time. All ladies there are very friendly and helpful. Thank you Beta, you gave me a fantastic service in every way possible. You were very patient, listening to all my needs, gave me as much time as I needed. You were honest when advising me but never pushed me to buy. Beta advised me with my frame choice and recomended best possible lenses for me. I highly recomend Beta because she is very professional!

S. B.

Nice experience. Friendly staff. Having always used a private opticians i didnt know what to expect. Staff were efficient and helpful. The testing room was not very private however. Overall good experience. Thanks.

J. G.

I Went into Optical Express at Cameron Toll today to get my glasses sorted and was dealt with by Gemma who took my glasses away and promptly fixed the nose pad that had fallen off earlier that day. The customer service was handled by Gemma in a professional manner as you would expect, Now i was just passing on my way to do something else and popped in on the off chance to see they can be fixed there and then, and it was even better when the young lady came back with the repaired Glasses and she informed me there will be no charge for that service, Well what a breath of fresh air, and while i was there Gemma informed me that i was ever so slightly overdue for an eye test and i informed her i would be calling into the shop in the near future. Mr Jim Gray

My glasses were so heavy that they would constantly fall over my nose. I paid a visit to Optical Express (Cameron Toll) this morning and the Ewe offered to help me with that.
