These are super opticians who went the extra ten miles for me. I lost my glasses one morning in August and I desperately needed them for a long drive the next day. I contacted Elliot and the team around lunchtime and having bought a frame online they moved heaven and earth to get the frame fitted with the lenses by 6pm that evening. It was herculean effort and my grateful thanks to all involved. They demonstrated the very best of client care, including speed and empathy - even chasing me down the street to tell me the glasses had arrived when we all thought that the glasses had not been biked over

I'm very happy with the service, product selection and quality at EyeLevel. I enjoyed seeing and trying on lots of beautiful and interesting frames, and finding the perfect pair. The customer service was great. I've had lots of compliments on my new glasses, which I'll be enjoying for a long time.

If it weren't for Elliott, who pushed me to get an early appointment at Moorfields, it's highly I wouldn't have had a glaucoma diagnosis or treatment for months. Everyone at this opticians is highly professional and helpful. I always leave with a pair of glasses people notice and complement. Can't recommend them highly enough!
