5 Star
August 14, 2018

Ordered new lenses (transition) for my Tom Ford frame. The initial confirmation said 10-12 days however, it took longer but it was well communicated... the glasses arrived today and I am very happy with the result! Thank you so much and I certainly will use your service again - highly recommend 5 Star from me!

Ripoff merchants
October 3, 2019

Do not trust this company for special offers. They use bait and switch, change their website to conceal 48 hour dispatch guarantee after order then email you 4 days later to say the frames arrived damaged (hello, I ordered 3 pairs and got the same email for all orders) and you will have to choose something else. Despite claiming to be an NZ business I got a call from the UK after making noise. Money was taken from my account straightaway but they say it takes up to 5 days for a refund. Totally untrustworthy

Very satisfied.
April 27, 2018

I have a very high correction prescription so was somewhat sceptical that glasses bought remotely would be up to the level of ones I normally pay about eight times the amount for. However I am delighted with my new glasses from Optically. They are fine for both distance and closer work. I would recommend Optically to anyone.

This is the first time I used this company, I thought the glasses were better quality than I've previously purchased. They also came in two weeks. I ordered reactor light glasses and have been disappointed by how they only slightly darkened in bright sunlight. But again, this was my first experience with changing lenses, maybe I was too optimistic.

Simple order process, just requiring a recent prescription from my regular optometrist and choosing a suitable style.

Service was excellent, with prompt communication and VERY fast delivery. My new glasses were well packed for posting in a smart protective hard case and several layers of bubble wrap.

Loved the easy to use website, although I found the mind-boggling range of top brand frame styles, colours and lens options a bit daunting at first!

There are separate mens, womens, designer glasses and prescription sunglasses plus a titanium range. They also offer a free home trial of four different frame styles, and a simple to use, cost-effective re-glazing service for your favourite eyeglasses or sunglasses.

Especially liked the Try On feature, which allows you to upload a close up photo to their website and click on any frame to see how you would look in that style and colour.

Recommended!

Ordered prescription sunglasses which weren't right when they arrived - wrong colour lenses and the frames were slightly different to the photos shown online. Staff worked hard to put it right, and sent me a replacement pair which were perfect. A long and slightly painful process, but got there in the end and I love my new sunglasses! At least $200 less than what it would have cost from my usual optometrist too!

Re glazed Glasses
August 29, 2020

I am more than happy with my re glazed glasses.
The service was over and above what I expected. I am an older person and am not comfortable ordering on line.
Nothing was to much trouble, Joy helped me thru ordering over the phone
Due to Covid they took a bit longer to arrive but that was expected.
In the near future my wife wants new glasses and we will certainly use this company again.

Avoid!
March 15, 2018

I had no issue with the glasses or prescription, but the aftercare I received from optically.co.nz was appalling. If you have an issue, they are extremely slow with communication and are not happy to rectify the issue. There are much better websites out there, I'd avoid these guys!

Ordered over the Christmas period. Emailed with no response, rang a few times, eventually got to speak to someone who assured me that they were on there way. Two weeks later still no sign, emailed again - no response. Rang and eventually spoke to same guy (Frances) and assured me on their way. Two weeks later still no glasses. Having read all the reviews about being rougue company I rang again spoke to same guy and he said they were on their way. Eventually had an email to say on their way. I managed to track them and they arrived a few days later. Had to take them to 3 opticians to sort them out. They all said frames were good quality and lenses were excellent, but they couldnt make the progressive lenses fit (this may have been down to my measuring). Would buy again but not progressive.

Excellent!
July 31, 2018

I am very impressed with optically, they are very helpful, friendly, great communication. I had my glasses regaled in my existing frames, The index lenses I had ordered previous to my script were not on shelf due to my eyes being so terribly bad, they however explained this to me and sourced the lenses I needed, and the team at optically did not hesitate to respond to my emails as I asked so many questions they verified step by step till my glasses arrived. Once arrived I was very pleasantly surprised at the work they did as they were very professional clean and bang on I could see 100% they did a very great job and I'm very happy with their service I highly recommend optically

It's great that now when you go in for an eye check up, if you need glasses they give you the script. This means you aren't limited to just their store.

Optically.co.nz is great. They have designer eye wear(like my Marc Jaccobs) and with the ability to upload a photo you can get a rough idea of what style and size looks good on your face.

They have good search criteria so you can only look at the designs that will suit and prompt delivery.

Would definitely recommend and use again.

What an Improvement
October 20, 2017

This is my second order and I am presently surprised, my first order took 3 weeks which I did not like, But the quality of the glasses were fantastic.

So, I choose to order again, I noticed that they have now started 24 hour dispatch of orders. I wanted to try, I am glad I did, the glasses we shipped out same day and they reached by post in 3 days. Now that is how one should buy glasses form now on.

The price and quality was never a problem for me, but the express delivery is customer care at a totally different level.

Reglazing order
July 15, 2023

I buy luxury brand frames (LV, Gucci, etc)

I've had 4 orders so far to reglaze my glasses and all have come back perfect and accurate of my prescription. I trust these guys with my expensive frames

They do come late, but this doesnt matter as my frames come back in the same state as I sent them

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
November 24, 2019

I've now been waiting 6 weeks for my order. Communication is poor. Avoid this company like the plague, I wish I'd looked up reviews before using this site.

Initially a little apprehensive about buying prescription glasses online, after being quoted locally an exorbitant price, I had no choice. How pleased I am I did.
Obtaining my prescription, I forwarded same and promptly received the glasses ordered. I had though made a terrible mistake of ordering a pair far too large for the progressive lenses to work satisfactorily.
I contacted Optically Support and the matter was resolved swiftly, once the correct frames were decided, I had replacement in just over a week. Offering to return the first frames I was told not to bother.
Overall, the communication and service was beyond what I expected to receive online, in fact it surpassed many customer service outlets I have come across. In this case every effort was made to make the customer (me) happy with their purchase. I will definitely come back next prescription. Barry D Jones

Great online site
August 30, 2017

I was very pleased with my purchase from Optically. The glasses were made and delivered within a great time frame, better than my own optometrist, The site is very easy to use for a non online shopper. Jenny H

I purchased prescription sunglasses a month ago, was delighted with the product so have now purchased prescription reading glasses with Norfolk frames. Fantastic price and super fast delivery, just 6 days. I'm very happy with them and they look just like they did when I uploaded a photo and "tried them on".
Was great being able to track online how my order was going too.

I needed a new pair of aviator glasses and ordered a pair from Optically. They arrived quickly in a free case and microfibre cloth. I like the quality of these glasses. They do not feel cheap at all even though they only cost $44. I also like that they offer a 90 day unconditional return guarantee.
