Kim made up new glasses in less than an hour for me after forgetting to bring mine to Sydney for holidays. Huge life saver & two new beautiful frames that I can’t get in QLD… very happy. Thank you team!
Louise LouiseExcellent place. Great service on eye exam and selecting frames. Great range from affordable to super high quality. Got lenses into new frames after an eye exam all in one day! Thanks so much guys.
Samuel MilchExtremely helpful staff who stayed behind nearly half an hour just to help me with my needs. I kept them late, yet they still offered me perfect help with a great attitude. Also all great people to talk to. Before I forget to ask, what’s the lotus guy’s insta?🤫 -Jason
Jay StrixFirst time I had heard of Zoom Optics and now it's the optometrist name I will never forget. The two young women who greeted me were so professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The young woman who took me in for my test made me so at ease and when explaining the prognosis and treatment she was magnificent. In and out in under 30 minutes not one cent out of pocket and an experience I'll recall for quite a while. Highly highly recommend
TonyI had a fantastic experience at this optician! They repaired my glasses in less than 15 minutes, and it only cost $10. The staff were incredibly nice, and their helpful service made the whole process quick and stress-free. Highly recommend :)
Alba De Marcos MéndezWho charges a fee to tighten glasses! Ridiculous!
Kalab TemplemanThese guys are the best, vast range of luxury brands, amazing designs!

Ghazi AlnajdiThank you to the amazing team at Zoom Optics. Kim and Killian went above and beyond to reglaze my frames in less than one hour. They talked me through all the lens options and made it all so easy. Incredible service and expertise!
Melinda ShiWas recommended a great selection of glasses and felt like I was instantly taken care of. Their selection worked much better for me than the larger chains. Also got a good deal on contacts with their price match policy.
