We had an excellent experience! The team was incredibly helpful in arranging an eye test and new glasses for our daughter while we were travelling from Australia. The eye examination was thorough and provided valuable insight into her eye health. Everyone was patient, friendly, and supportive, especially while she took her time choosing her new frames. We’re so grateful for the care and attention the team gave our daughter. Thank you for making the whole experience so easy and stress-free while we were away from home. Highly recommend!

Came in to this optician based on the reviews already posted. No recommendations or prior that I knew went and feedback to me they had a good experience. The service was impeccable. I was in need of a new pair having damaged a bit a 5 yo frame. Meet with Sukru who was very helpful and good physionomist helping me pickup a new frame that fit and not that just looks nice or that I think look nice. The optometrist was also very good at explaining what he was measuring and explained well what it meant. The guide into which lenses to take was also not driven to spend more but on what was appropriate for my level of correction and day to day usage. On a separate note: I picked up my glasses previously from a known chain and they were not adjusting or centering the correction by measuring the pupils distances. I thought the process I was going through before was normal, little did I know that centering the correction is normal and not doing it isn't. Overall a very good experience I have already recommended it to friends

Excellent service from everybody here. Had a very thorough eye examination and discussion of all my options regarding contact lenses. I was then given a tutorial in how to put in the lenses. The person who showed me (sorry I didn’t get your name) was so patient with me and explained it so well. I have tried contact lenses before and have struggled but I can do them now, thank you (I am left handed and uncoordinated but you were a star!)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Safarian on St Johns Wood High street! I’m absolutely delighted with my optical glasses. I already had a frame that I loved and wanted high-quality trifocal lenses, and they did a fantastic job fitting the lenses perfectly into my frame. What makes Safarian stand out even more is their excellent after-sales service. As someone who loves sunglasses and has quite a collection, I really appreciate how they always help me keep them in great shape. Today, I stopped by with three pairs of sunglasses that had become bent, and Sukru was incredibly helpful in fixing them for me. The service was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. It’s wonderful to find an optician who not only provides excellent products but also looks after their customers long after the purchase. Thank you, Sukru, and the whole Safarian team, for your outstanding service. I highly recommend them!
