Received the Best Customer Service from two staff members (Female & Male - sorry didn’t get their names) at the Capalaba Central Optical Superstore recently (early September 2026)…Walked in to get my reading glasses arm fix. I was willing to pay for the new screw for my reading glasses and the two staff members offered to fix my glasses for straight away & for free. They also gave me a free glasses case. They were both friendly and very happy to help me without wanting any payment. I come from a retail background of 30 years which I also took pride in providing excellent service to everyone. It was wonderful to experience good old fashion friendly customer service which I thought had died…but the lovely two staff members in the afternoon displayed excellent customer service!

• A Guardian Through Light and Shadow: Encountering the Clearest View in Twenty Years at Wagga WaggaFor everyone, eyes are not only windows to the world but also bonds to the warmth of life. However, finding a truly "clear, comfortable, and satisfying" pair of glasses sometimes requires a long wait. For over twenty years, I've traversed different visual landscapes until I stepped into Optical Superstore in Wagga Wagga, where the long-sought clarity and tranquility finally found its home.This is not just an eyewear store, but a haven filled with warmth and responsibility.A Warm Encounter: CharlieEvery time I opened the door, the first thing that caught my eye was Charlie's bright and beautiful smile, as fresh as sunshine. Her enthusiasm and professionalism have a magical power to soothe any anxiety.From a warm welcome and patient registration to guiding me through every step of the fitting process, Charlie infused a strong sense of responsibility and professional ethics into every detail of her work. She not only possesses excellent communication skills and a friendly, approachable demeanor, efficiently and systematically arranging eye exams, follow-up appointments, and lens pickups, but also demonstrates a thorough understanding of the basics of various types of eyeglasses. In her, I saw an extreme passion for her work and genuine care for her customers. She is not only one of the most beautiful and kindest people I've ever met, but also the warmest "first impression" of this store.A Solid Backbone for Vision Health: StevenIf Charlie's smile is a ray of warm sunshine, then optometrist Steven's superb medical skills and noble medical ethics are the strongest shield for my eye health.Steven is not only an optometrist, but also a "general practitioner" and "guardian" of our eye health. From initial consultation and accurate refraction to a comprehensive eye health examination, he meticulously assessed my vision in every aspect. Throughout the process, he not only patiently explained the test results but also offered heartwarming professional advice on preventing myopia and daily eye care. His personalized vision care plan, tailored just for me, and those comfortable yet protective glasses, allowed me to experience unprecedented clarity and freedom for the first time in over twenty years. Meeting such a compassionate optometrist was an immense stroke of luck.Upholding a Local Commitment: "Super Service and Super Discounts"Behind this exceptional personal experience lies Optical Superstore's unwavering commitment since 1989.As a 100% Australian-owned and operated company, Optical Superstore adheres to the philosophy that "Your vision is our vision." From high-quality frames starting at just $58, to Medicare-reimbursed eye exams; from an inclusive team of over 300 employees across Australia, to their social responsibility in funding the Bond University Aboriginal Medicine Scholarship—they exemplify true affordability, accessibility, and responsibility through their actions.At Optical Superstore in Wagga Wagga, I experienced not only incredible savings, but also a perfect blend of top quality and exceptional service.Clear vision can reshape the colors of life, while outstanding service warms the heart. Thank you Charlie for his kindness, thank you Steven for his attentive care, and thank you to Optical Superstore for its more than thirty years of quiet dedication to the Australian community. Here, clarity is not just a word, but a tangible happiness.December 2025

I have been a Optical Superstore client for over 15 years. I recently moved from GC to the local Area. The service, friendliness and quality of care is extremely high imo from this team.Optometrist was very thorough & explained much more than previous yearly Diabetic appointments. Service staff are very helpful (Lady & Guy) + adjusted my new glasses to fit neatly. Also received a ‘Care for Glasses’ info form as well to assist aftercare. BUT best part was from a Wed apt, to get the new prescription glasses on the following Monday - Wow outstanding turnaround time.Very happy I made the decision to go to Deception Bay Optical Superstore. And Again ThankU for a fantastic service experience ✅

I am traveling around Australia solo . I had a disaster with my glasses , the frames were totally smashed just prior to leaving Sydney for Darwin. I was lucky enough to have chosen this location by chance,to help. I went directly there from the airport. The gentleman was fantastic, very kind and sympathetic, I can barely see without glasses. He wasn't able to fix the frames, understandly so, they were toast and I knew it. He, and the lady also there, put a lot of effort into finding a frame that would work with my lenses. Thankfully they did. Now I can at least see Australia! Thank you so much, you were outstanding, from a very happy Canadian!

I can't speak highly enough of the Optical Superstore at Deception Bay. I booked an optometrist appointment having experienced a sudden onset of double and blurred vision. The optometrist was the most thorough I have ever experienced & compiled a completed report from the tests conducted which was later accessed by Hospital Doctors. After eliminating various medical events, I returned for a follow up appointment to receive corrective lenses & spectacles. The counter staff there were absolutely outstanding. My new glasses arrived early, fitted perfectly & my vision has now been restored to 100% at the minimum cost to yours truly. Thank you Optical Superstore Deception Bay 😊

She not only possesses excellent communication skills and a friendly, approachable demeanor, efficiently and systematically arranging eye exams, follow-up appointments, and lens pickups, but also demonstrates a thorough understanding of the basics of various types of eyeglasses. In her, I saw an extreme passion for her work and genuine care for her customers. She is not only one of the most beautiful and kindest people I've ever met, but also the warmest "first impression" of this store.A Solid Backbone for Vision Health: StevenIf Charlie's smile is a ray of warm sunshine, then optometrist Steven's superb medical skills and noble medical ethics are the strongest shield for my eye health.Steven is not only an optometrist, but also a "general practitioner" and "guardian" of our eye health. From initial consultation and accurate refraction to a comprehensive eye health examination, he meticulously assessed my vision in every aspect. Throughout the process, he not only patiently explained the test results but also offered heartwarming professional advice on preventing myopia and daily eye care. His personalized vision care plan, tailored just for me, and those comfortable yet protective glasses, allowed me to experience unprecedented clarity and freedom for the first time in over twenty years. Meeting such a compassionate optometrist was an immense stroke of luck.Upholding a Local Commitment: "Super Service and Super Discounts"Behind this exceptional personal experience lies Optical Superstore's unwavering commitment since 1989.As a 100% Australian-owned and operated company, Optical Superstore adheres to the philosophy that "Your vision is our vision." From high-quality frames starting at just $58, to Medicare-reimbursed eye exams; from an inclusive team of over 300 employees across Australia, to their social responsibility in funding the Bond University Aboriginal Medicine Scholarship—they exemplify true affordability, accessibility, and responsibility through their actions.At Optical Superstore in Wagga Wagga, I experienced not only incredible savings, but also a perfect blend of top quality and exceptional service.Clear vision can reshape the colors of life, while outstanding service warms the heart. Thank you Charlie for his kindness, thank you Steven for his attentive care, and thank you to Optical Superstore for its more than thirty years of quiet dedication to the Australian community. Here, clarity is not just a word, but a tangible happiness.December 2025

I have been a Optical Superstore client for over 15 years. I recently moved from GC to the local Area. The service, friendliness and quality of care is extremely high imo from this team.Optometrist was very thorough & explained much more than previous yearly Diabetic appointments. Service staff are very helpful (Lady & Guy) + adjusted my new glasses to fit neatly. Also received a ‘Care for Glasses’ info form as well to assist aftercare. BUT best part was from a Wed apt, to get the new prescription glasses on the following Monday - Wow outstanding turnaround time.Very happy I made the decision to go to Deception Bay Optical Superstore. And Again ThankU for a fantastic service experience ✅

Excellent customer care and support, the optometrist was extremely friendly and helpful. The customer staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. My glasses were back with in 5 days and I’m very pleased with them. Great prices I have multifocal and tint and covering as well.

I am traveling around Australia solo . I had a disaster with my glasses , the frames were totally smashed just prior to leaving Sydney for Darwin. I was lucky enough to have chosen this location by chance,to help. I went directly there from the airport. The gentleman was fantastic, very kind and sympathetic, I can barely see without glasses. He wasn't able to fix the frames, understandly so, they were toast and I knew it. He, and the lady also there, put a lot of effort into finding a frame that would work with my lenses. Thankfully they did. Now I can at least see Australia! Thank you so much, you were outstanding, from a very happy Canadian!

I can't speak highly enough of the Optical Superstore at Deception Bay. I booked an optometrist appointment having experienced a sudden onset of double and blurred vision. The optometrist was the most thorough I have ever experienced & compiled a completed report from the tests conducted which was later accessed by Hospital Doctors. After eliminating various medical events, I returned for a follow up appointment to receive corrective lenses & spectacles. The counter staff there were absolutely outstanding. My new glasses arrived early, fitted perfectly & my vision has now been restored to 100% at the minimum cost to yours truly. Thank you Optical Superstore Deception Bay 😊

All of the staff here at the Mt Sheridan Plaza store are amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Love my new glasses, the prescription for my eyesight is perfect, I can read so much better now! The optometrist I saw really took her time in assessing me and working out what would work best for my eyesight. Such a lovely lady aswell. The cost was very reasonable. They have a great selection of frames to choose from. Highly recommend this store!

I had an issue with my glasses breaking, so dropped in to see Fred at Optical Superstore in Canberra centre, on the off-chance he could help. Even though I'm not a regular customer, he went above and beyond to fix them. And they're better than before they broke. He was so kind and obliging that I will definitely be returning.

I had a fantastic experience with The Optical Superstore! The service is top-notch, and the optometrist is exceptionally professional. I got my eyes tested last week and was extremely impressed by their attentiveness and great service attitude. I picked up my new glasses today and was genuinely blown away—they are super comfortable to wear and the vision is crystal clear.

The kindest most decent folks. I’m in town visiting and in an unfamiliar room in the middle of the night managed to step on my specs. These delightful folks took my specs in and a half hour later they were repaired, good as new. I tried to pay them but they refused payment. The world needs more Optical superstores. Thank you 🙏 🙏
