My uncle broke his frames beyond repair while on holiday, we went to a few other optometrists who couldn’t help. The staff working here immediately tried to help and began searching for a frame that would fit and managed to find one for his 30 year old glasses. The frame price was very reasonable and cheap and the staff working chucked in the case for free. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we got from the staff

• 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

For many years I struggled with cloudy vision and dry eyes. I had seen several different optometrists over that time, but never really felt I understood what was causing the problem. That changed when I met Vamsi at Deception Bay.Vamsi was incredibly thorough with the examination, took the time to explain everything clearly, and helped me understand the underlying issue rather than just treating the symptoms. He recommended IPL treatment as the best option.I've now completed two IPL sessions and have already noticed a significant improvement in my vision clarity and overall eye comfort. It's made a real difference to my daily life.I highly recommend Vamsi to anyone experiencing dry eye or vision issues. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care are outstanding, and I'm very grateful for the improvement I've experienced.

I really appreciate your kindness and excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Optical Superstore Yeppoon.Katie, the Optometrist, was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my eye health and overall wellbeing. She went far above and beyond anything I have experienced with previous optometrists, taking the time to thoroughly investigate my condition, research multiple treatment and management options, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine compassion were outstanding. She never made me feel rushed and her reassurance throughout the process was incredibly comforting during what could have been a stressful situation.The front of house ladies, were equally amazing. When it came time to choose new glasses, they took incredible care to find the best possible lens options for my prescription. Thanks to their expertise, my new lenses are thinner, clearer, and more comfortable than any glasses I’ve owned before. They also have a fantastic eye for style and helped me choose frames that look great without breaking the bank. I walked away with glasses that are both stylish and affordable, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.The level of customer service, professionalism, and genuine care from both Kate and the team was second to none. It’s rare to find people who are so passionate about helping their customers and who take such pride in what they do. I would recommend Optical Superstore Yeppoon to anyone looking for outstanding eye care and exceptional service.Thank you both for making what is usually a routine appointment such a positive and memorable experience.

As a big consumer of Prescription Sunglasses and regular glasses, I tried the Optical Superstore in Ainslie Place CANBERRA, and was very impressed. I have a weird prescription and graded focus lenses. The lenses and service were the equal best I've had over 5 countries and 30 years. Perfect progressive shading and focus. Very impressed and I will return. Fred looked after me and knows what he's doing. Very nice people as well.They're a little out of the way but still only 150m from Canberra Centre towards Canberra Theatre.Store Location: Canberra Superstore - Ainslie place

I had a great experience at Optical Superstore. The team fixed my glasses free of charge after they became bent on the sides, which I really appreciated. They were friendly, professional, and provided excellent customer service. It was a quick and hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Optical Superstore to anyone looking for reliable and helpful eye care.

For many years I struggled with cloudy vision and dry eyes. I had seen several different optometrists over that time, but never really felt I understood what was causing the problem. That changed when I met Vamsi at Deception Bay.Vamsi was incredibly thorough with the examination, took the time to explain everything clearly, and helped me understand the underlying issue rather than just treating the symptoms. He recommended IPL treatment as the best option.I've now completed two IPL sessions and have already noticed a significant improvement in my vision clarity and overall eye comfort. It's made a real difference to my daily life.I highly recommend Vamsi to anyone experiencing dry eye or vision issues. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care are outstanding, and I'm very grateful for the improvement I've experienced.

I have been going to Optical Superstore Casuarina for more than 10 years, since then the quality of service has always been great. Optometrist and staff are attentive and will never rush your appointment even they are at their busiest. Most of the time you can get your glasses same day which is amazing!!! Thank you Optical Superstore 😊

Thank you so much to the lovely team! One of the screws in my glasses fell out, and another optical store refused to fix them because I hadn’t bought the glasses there. Even though my glasses weren’t purchased from your store, you kindly found the right screw, repaired them for me, and didn’t charge me anything. I really appreciate your kindness and excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Optical Superstore Yeppoon.Katie, the Optometrist, was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my eye health and overall wellbeing. She went far above and beyond anything I have experienced with previous optometrists, taking the time to thoroughly investigate my condition, research multiple treatment and management options, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine compassion were outstanding. She never made me feel rushed and her reassurance throughout the process was incredibly comforting during what could have been a stressful situation.The front of house ladies, were equally amazing. When it came time to choose new glasses, they took incredible care to find the best possible lens options for my prescription. Thanks to their expertise, my new lenses are thinner, clearer, and more comfortable than any glasses I’ve owned before. They also have a fantastic eye for style and helped me choose frames that look great without breaking the bank. I walked away with glasses that are both stylish and affordable, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.The level of customer service, professionalism, and genuine care from both Kate and the team was second to none. It’s rare to find people who are so passionate about helping their customers and who take such pride in what they do. I would recommend Optical Superstore Yeppoon to anyone looking for outstanding eye care and exceptional service.Thank you both for making what is usually a routine appointment such a positive and memorable experience.

As a big consumer of Prescription Sunglasses and regular glasses, I tried the Optical Superstore in Ainslie Place CANBERRA, and was very impressed. I have a weird prescription and graded focus lenses. The lenses and service were the equal best I've had over 5 countries and 30 years. Perfect progressive shading and focus. Very impressed and I will return. Fred looked after me and knows what he's doing. Very nice people as well.They're a little out of the way but still only 150m from Canberra Centre towards Canberra Theatre.Store Location: Canberra Superstore - Ainslie place
