Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality of the products, particularly the glasses and lenses, which are often highlighted for their stylish designs and durability. Many people appreciate the inclusive and transparent pricing, finding the costs very reasonable, especially given the high prescription options and added benefits like lens thinning at no extra charge. The staff are frequently commended for being friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and providing excellent, non-pressured service. However, some customers experienced minor issues, such as a limited initial range of frames or a wait to speak with staff. A few people also reported needing multiple adjustments for their glasses or experiencing blurred vision with varifocals, though these issues were often resolved by the company.

Never been happier with a pair of spectacles in my life - can’t wait until I return and get a second pair as I have this awful habit of leaving them behind!

Amazing experience as always

Amazing experience as always. I ordered sunglasses online and forgot to add the prescription. Contacted customer service and they couldn't have been more helpful - sorted it out right away. The glasses are beautiful and great quality too. Thanks

Great shop. Great experience

The team in Richmond are brilliant. Friebdly, great advice and they know their stuff when it comes to prescription glasses as well. Frames are all at a fixed price and there is a load of choice

Excellent Service and Fantastic Value


Excellent Service and Fantastic Value

I had a brilliant experience getting my new glasses made by IOLLA in Cambridge. Rebecca was incredibly helpful in guiding me through frame choices, especially with my high prescription, and her advice made a huge difference. I’m really pleased with the final result.

After years of mixed experiences with high street opticians, I wanted to try something new — and I’m so glad I did.

The value is outstanding. I received two pairs of high‑quality glasses for less than what I’d usually pay for a single pair elsewhere. There’s also a great selection of frame colours and designs, making it easy to find something that suits your style. I opted for home delivery, and my glasses arrived in just over a week. If your lenses are less complex, they may arrive even sooner.

Overall, a smooth, positive experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

I accidentally ordered prescription sunglasses with tinted lenses that wouldn’t fit my prescription. It couldn’t have been easier to rectify this and the service was personal, responsive, fast and better than expected. I’ve been a customer of Iolla for more than 10 years and I trust them completely. Excellent product, excellent service!
