Oscar Wylee New Zealand Customer Reviews
Hear what our beloved #OW customers had to say about our frames and services

"My eye test at Oscar Wylee was a relaxing experience, it was in two parts, the first eye test was for the health or condition of the eyes and the eyesight, the second examination was for the optic nerve health and glaucoma. The optometrist was excellent she guided me through the eye test helping me to feel at ease, all went well and it was reassuring to know my eyesight and eye health was stable and the prescription for glasses was also emailed to me. I'm happy to have the correct lenses and to receive the wonderful customer service with selecting the very nice frames, thankyou."

"Sayed explained both what he was doing and what that meant for my eyesight perfectly. I have never had my prescription and changes over time explained so well. I didn't have a significant change so didn't require new glasses and there was no pressure to buy any." I will definitely be going back for my next test!

Really great experience. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the optometrist was friendly and explained everything clearly throughout the appointment. The clinic is modern, and the check-up was thorough and efficient. Highly recommend it to anyone in Christchurch looking for reliable eye care."
– Karin DStore Location: Northlands Mall, Papanui, Christchurch, New Zealand
"Excellent first experience! Really lovely service and thorough eye test. I also got excellent advice on what glasses suited me best. Glasses were super affordable, and amazing choices in frames for wide faces. Very happy! Will continue to come back to Oscar Wylee, rather than the other store I used to go to for glasses and eye tests."

"The team working today was incredible, I went to a couple stores beforehand and not a single person helped me, so this was an extremely refreshing change. Everyone made an effort to help me, explain the costs and give me honest advice about glasses selection. I could not be more satisfied with the experience the team gave me. So thank you to the two girls at the front who assisted with selection and the optometrist in the back. They deserve a raise or at least a gift card for a night out."

"Very happy with my Oscar experience. Staff were so helpful and the optician was great. So good to get a second opinion. I had been quoted elsewhere for one pair of sunglasses. I got two pairs for less than my quote for one pair. Great to have prescription transitions and sunglasses."

"I have been to many Oscar Wylee stores in Australia, but would have to commend the staff at Melbourne Central, particularly the young lady, unfortunately, can't recall her name, but was youngish with black hair. Her patience, product knowledge and efficiency was fabulous. Thank you for a great experience in such a busy area."

"My eye test went very smooth..I am hard of hearing and had some level of anxiety beforehand but the optometrist ws very understanding, kind and clear speaking and I passed????i must add though that the guy who was at reception needs a lesson on people skills because he did not greet me in a welcoming manner, no smile, no humour which didnt help my anxiety...bt once I met the lovely young optometrist lady...I felt so much at ease...1st impression are important especially with paying customers..it dsnt matter what ethnicity you belong to, here in Aotearoa greetings in my culture are right up the top of importance..ngā mihi."

"My sister broke her only glasses 6 days before we are going overseas. Her optometrist wasn't being helpful, so I rang my optometrist Oscar Wylee at Albany Mall. Sayed, was incredibly kind and helpful and let us know there was a same day glasses place here in Auckland but there were also some in the Gold Coast where we're going. Sayed appeared super happy to help us and was lovely in his manner and he saved the day!! As a patient there as well the whole team is just so friendly and helpful and their selection of frames is more varied than other optometrists. I highly recommend this place!"

"Good place, we were the first customers of the day, the welcome and first impressions from the store person could have been more welcoming. Didn't feel nice not being greeted felt like a number rather than a person, however as the appointment progressed the service improved. Not enough to turn me away but good feedback for them to improve their customer experience."

"Went to get my son's eye checked. The whole process was so smooth. The ladies at the desk were super helpful and professional. The optometrist was also very knowledgeable and also made sure that the whole checkup session was comfortable for a 6 year old kid. We have been told for a revisit a week after. I will surely recommend Oscar Wylee for any optometry related stuff."

"Everything was great, the only downside of my experience was when it came to choosing my frames the retail assistant followed me around the store while I browsed which made me feel very pressured. I was buying very expensive glasses which will be on my face every day and I wanted to take my time but felt that I was being hurried by her being right next to me that whole time. She was lovely and very helpful but I would have liked to be left alone to make my decision without feeling like I needed to hurry and finish the transaction as soon as possible."
