My dog chewed my favourite glasses and I thought that was the end of them, but Dr. Oculus repaired them. They're as good as new, if not a little bit better... Thank you so much Scott you miracle worker.

If you want comfortable, cool glasses you can wear all day then go and see Dr Oculus.

My glasses are made bespoke to fit me (very comfy) - I don't have to fit them.

Come in here by chance after breaking my glasses. Scott and the rest of the staff were very friendly and professional, and provided helpful advice for lenses and frames. Spoke with other customers who also praised their experience.

Have subsequently got new prescription and glasses. Not cheap but got what I wanted and had excellent service. Will be returning for future glasses and tests.

An address to know, to visit and to trust. I came with an idea/model in mind. Customer service is awesome with a guy who perfectly knows his job, gives adequate advice, listens carefully your expectations to make your glasses exactly as you wanted. During the process, communication was smooth, regular, with respect of deadline. Right and fair price. What more to expect from an optician? My new sunglasses with prescription are fabulous. I warmly recommend.

I highly recommend a visit to the magical world of Dr Oculus! This is no ordinary opticians, these are no ordinary glasses. It is an extraordinary and lovely experience where you'll begin by visiting not just a store that sells glasses - but a vibrant gallery where the most fabulous range of spectacles, in all shapes, sizes, colours, designs and price will excite you more than you could have imagined. Dr Oculus is by far the most welcoming optical centre I've ever walked into. Beyond the stunning interiors where artwork serves to compliment the laid back, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, you might forget you've come to shop for glasses. You'll be warmly welcomed by Scott, the wonderful wizard and creator of Dr Oculus, who is an optician of the highest order and also a spectacle designer whose frames you can also purchase alongside so many other brands. I tried on dozens of frames before finally choosing and was able to collect them within a week. I was kept well informed of the status of my order. You receive a personalised, very cool glasses case and upon collection the fit was thoroughly checked. I am delighted I found this amazing place. I could continue shouting praise for Dr Oculus, but instead will say if you haven't been there, you really need to see for yourself - your eyes will love you and thank you for it. Beware! you'll want more than one pair. Thank you Scott.

Fabulous face furniture and exceptional service!

Scott has been looking after my eyes since 2023, and I genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else. They combine real expertise with warmth, patience and attention to detail, making every visit feel relaxed and reassuring.

The frames are stylish, the advice is honest, and the care is consistently first-class. If you're looking for someone who takes both your vision and your "face furniture" seriously, I can't recommend Dr. Oculus highly enough.

Here's to many more years of exceptional ocular care. Thank you, Scott!

This is one of those rare shops you’ll never forget about when you visit. It’s a wonderful colourful emporium of eyewear! So reasonably priced and so unique. It’s heaps of fun getting to chat with Scott (who, by the way, is probably one of the top 20 coolest guys I’ve ever met). It’s almost like a day out whether you’re looking for glasses or not. Great just for a unique pair of sunshades too. I’ll defo be back.

Top marks on the customer service front, the glasses sell themselves really!! I absolutely love them. I have so many compliments on my Occupational glasses (as they match my uniform!!) I love that I don't have to swap to sunglasses anymore! Yes you pay the extra but your eyes are worth it 👀.
Scott allows you the time and freedom to find the glasses that match your personality as you can see mine match my hair! He listens and gets to know you which you certainly don't get in big cooperate business's. So what are you waiting for.......... He will certainly have a pair of glasses for you 😀 🤓🥸😎🕶
Mine go with everything!!!!
