” Super friendly and super fast. they reglazed my Persol glasses in 1 hour. Cost about half what I was quoted from my usual optician. so happy to have found this place.. ”

” I’m so glad I found this company in Auckland. They made everything really easy and had my new lenses ready in an hour which meant that suddenly, I was no longer looking through damaged lenses and had clear vision!
I also bought a new pair of glasses that they immediately offered a discount on, I added transition lenses too.“
