A View Opticians

Very friendly, helpful, and professional staff that went above and beyond to help me out with glasses and contact lenses requirements.

Fantastic service from Tony: friendly, professional and attentive to detail. Highly recommended.

The kindest most community minded and friendly owners I've ever met. I've only been in twice for simple things and they've always gone out of their way for me. Best in London!

Just popped into A View opticians while passing as one of my contact lenses was irritating me and I didn't have a spare with me. My first impressions of this place is so high! I had no appointment and not an existing patient. Tony helped me by having a quick look in my irritated eye to see if everything was ok, looked at my prescription and then got a new contact lens for me - thankyou so much for seeing me - you have made my day and saved me from a very sore eye!

Five stars is not enough to rate the outstanding care and attention Tony and Mohammad provide. Cannot recommend enough.

I went to A View Opticians for my eye exams and contact lenses when I first moved to London 2 years ago, based on their excellent Google reviews among a wealth of opticians on the same street. A View definitely lived up to and exceeded the hype! Tony, the owner, is welcoming, funny, professional, and passionate about what he does. He always helped me re-fit my glasses or clean the nooks and crannies of them when I was walking by on the way to get ice cream, and his professional services are always prompt & considerate. He treats you more like a friend than a customer but always gets the job done beautifully too, as you'd expect of a 5-star service provider. Highly recommend!

Brilliant customer service from start to finish. I experienced the most thorough eye examination. From eye test, contact lenses check up and health of my eyes. An absolutely enjoyable and informative time! Tony, as always, was professional, polite, efficient and a great help in picking out the right frame for me. I absolutely love my new glasses! Thank you Tony and A View Team!

I usually do not write reviews but I just came back from my eye exam and buying new frames at A View and felt I absolutely needed to leave a comment. Having worn glasses my whole life I can say that this was hands down the best customer service experience I have ever had at any optician. I received the most thorough eye exam with state of the art technology (really fascinating) and felt like I was in the best of hands. Also Tony was exceptionally helpful, friendly and professional when helping me select my frames and lenses. I will definitely recommend A View to anyone I know!

I highly recommend A View on Upper Street, it is very comforting to go back to the same optician over the years and see the same people working there, a rare sight in fast moving London! Tony took a lot of time for us to choose glasses and to give us personalised advise, he cares deeply about glasses and their wearers! It's also nice to go back for small adjustments or even just for a chat. 5 for A View Opticians as well as their qualified and likeable staff.

Brilliant service. Tony was great, took his time and provided very helpful advice as I was picking out glasses for the first time. Clearly knows his profession, does it well and with pleasure. Will become a regular customer for sure!

I've been coming to A View for over a decade now, and throughout that time Tony and Muhammed have always been professional, friendly and helpful. They clearly care about their customers and are always willing to discuss issues in-depth (or just which style of glasses suits your face best). Eye tests and contact lens check-ups are efficient and easy to book, and the shop is a lovely place to be.

Finally an optician worthy of the name. Bought my glasses here and couldn't be happier with them - and especially the service! Tony has been beyond helpful, he had the best advice on what frames were right for me and went out of his way to make sure I felt comfortable with my new specs. Could not possibly recommend this place more!

I highly recommend A View on Upper St for everything from quality of care and service to quality of options. We had dropped in over the years and bought gorgeous frames and browsed, always pleased with Tony's friendly service and insight, but it wasn't until our son was having trouble with his vision that I realised quite how good they are at what they do. Firstly, when asking around for recommendations on a "good place to get a child's eyes tested", it seemed all of Islington enthusiastically steered us here.

I sat in on the initial appointment and the care and gentle approach made my son feel so well looked after, no nerves or worry. He enjoyed his appointment so much, he asked how soon can he get another eye test. Tony's recommendations on finding the most well suited, cool frames helped my son be excited about his first specs and feel good about wearing them.

He was so pleased to have clear vision and felt good in his chosen frames, that we never had to deal with reluctance to wear them. I'm sure the care and approach at A View helped our son feel good about his glasses. The follow up care has been just as brilliant. My husband and I also count on Tony to always stock lovely frames, and he has such good understanding to help find the look that best suits. This is a great place for the whole family. The personal, above and beyond care is truly special.
