PATIENTS Stories

What Our Patients Say About Us

Got my eyes tested a week ago, a week later my glasses are ready. Pink in a pink box my whole day lit up and maybe the rest of my life because my glasses are so Beautiful. The three ladies I meet were unbelievably helpful and graceful in every way. I highly recommend getting your eyes tested and your glasses here 

Teresa O.

Cannot thank Southgate Opticians enough for such a great experience. From the eye test to choosing the frames, all of the ladies here are so knowledgeable and friendly. I love how each came with information about what would work for me as an individual and they were so patient with me, as what I'm sure was a very indecisive customer!

Aisling E.

Both myself and Johanna went in to get our eyes tested. From when we walked in and booked our appointment for the next day the people who we met were lovely. Very welcoming and friendly and the optician herself was very friendly and professional.
