Contact lens technology has improved dramatically over the years allowing wearers increased comfort, better eye health and clearer vision than ever before.
If wearing re-useable lenses-please remember to rub and rinse your lenses with solution on removal and put fresh solution in your case after use. If you are feeling unwell then we recommend you keep your contact lenses out and wear your glasses until you feel better.

My family have attended since glasses were needed. Through the years there have been many complications and these have always been dealt with promptly and with great care. It has never felt as if anything was a bother. My husband attends Gartnavel for eye problems and as the consultant says it's so reassuring to have a name over the door. Keep up the good work!

I have been a customer of Reid Mackellar for many years. I have always had first class service from each and every person who has dealt with me. I've received a very thorough eye test followed by the best of advice, help and patience when choosing frames. I would recommend Reid Mackelkar if you're looking for professional, friendly, first class eye care. Thank you for all you do and keep up the great work. Irene McIntosh

I've been a customer with Reid mackellar for many years and always find the whole team from reception staff to opticians to be first class. Always happy to accommodate you at short notice if you have an issue. Excellent health and safety throughout covid and offer good advice for both contact lenses and or glasses as required. Would highly recommend as they have never lost the family approach. Linda Perry

Over the years I have dealt with most of this fantastic team.

I have been a customer for many years and have always received excellent service from all the staff. I very much like to use a local family optician rather than national chains. Reid McKellar are very much up to date with the latest technology and I am very confident that my vision is well looked after.

I have been with your firm since I was a child. I am always impressed by the professional and efficient way that your staff have when dealing with my needs. I have been helped free of charge with replacement nose grips when I lost one and during the last lock down I had a problem with dry eyes and could not get a GP appointment. I was seen by your team who sorted me out with eye drops. Well Done.

I love my eye tests at Reid Mackellar. I've been using the opticians since around 1986 before I turned 2! The service is amazing. The staff are wonderful and so helpful. I highly recommend Reid Mackellar. I had an eye test elsewhere during lockdown and the company was no where near as good. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful job that you do!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Our whole family use them. They were very good with my daughter when she was younger and required glasses from a young age. Recently got new glasses myself and was a smooth experience from start to finish. They even offer payment plan which can be helpful. Highly recommend.

As a returning customer I cannot praise Reid McKellar highly enough yet again. From the initial booking of appointments through to my eye sight test, selection of frames and finally fitting it is a great service and at this time done with appropriate covid restrictions in place. All staff memners are so helpful and friendly and never rush you when you are considering your choice of spectacles. In my view their service is second to none. I highly recommend this firm.

I've been going to Reid Mackellar Opticians for years, very thorough examination from Janine, who explained changes in my eyes. I always leave feeling it's a very personal service. Great choice of styles to suit most budgets, great assistance from Mhairi in choosing and fitting my glasses, staff are very patient and professional. Fabulous to have them in our community.

This is the only optician service that I have used. My first visit I found all the staff very knowledgeable friendly and very friendly. This was why 12yrs later I still attend. I personally feel that all staff are very attentive also if no changes with your prescription they are honest and don't try to persuade you to purchase new ones. I also like the variety of spectacles and I have always managed to choose my favourite colour purple designs. I would definately recommend Reid Mackellar Opician

I have been going to Reid Mackellar Opticians for over 20 years and would highly recommend the personal service every customer receives. All budgets are catered for with both styles and quality along with a selection of designer glasses. Children's glasses are also great quality. My Granddaughter got her first 2 pairs in August and she loves them 1 for play, 1 for school and she happily wears than all day without any complaints. Definitely the only Optician I would use and I highly recommend them.
