I went for my eye test today and as usual had a great experience.

Excellent service
Excellent service. The staff are so friendly and helpful.
The range of frames offered great choice and the staff clearly understood the differences in the lenses available which allowed me to make an informed decision. I'm delighted with both my everyday frames and sunglasses.
Eye Examination - Belfast (Church Lane)
I attended an eye examination today with Richard Mackey, Principal Optometrist and Director of Mackey Opticians. I found him to be exceptionally professional, personable and courteous throughout. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of service I received. I now look forward to collecting my new glasses once the lenses have been fitted. I would like to extend my thanks to all of the team at Mackey Opticians.
