Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 158 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, frequently praising the excellent quality of the products, especially the glasses and sunglasses, which are often described as comfortable and stylish. Customers are consistently impressed with the competitive pricing, finding the items to be significantly more affordable than those from other optical specialists or high street stores. The delivery service is also highly regarded, with many reviewers noting quick and efficient shipping, often arriving within the stated timeframe or even ahead of schedule.

A few other people also felt that the quality of some products was low, leading to items breaking shortly after purchase, and experienced difficulties with the return service.

Items ordered for 16th birthday…

Items ordered for 16th birthday present, order made on 27th Feb, despite being advised items send still not received, I have followed up with royal mail tracking who advised they have never received the item and referred me back to the store. Despite emailing and speaking with the team I am none the wiser. I was promised a callback yesterday from Optical Express Customer Services before 4pm which I have not yet received. Once again I have followed up this morning, happy to update this review if the parcel turns up in time for the 16th birthday but at the moment I am not holding my breath. 10.03.25 items now received, thanks to John in customer services for ensuring the replacement items were delivered on time.

I recently purchased new glasses with them, I added my prescription details and chosen the lenses I wanted.
I have to be honest I didn't have high expectations since the price was low. I have got them today and I must say I was shocked. The quality is really good and the fit is perfect. Im very happy with what I got and I recommend this website 100%.
