A lot of our clients are professionals themselves and they choose us because they want to see an expert. They want to see someone they have confidence in and they want to get it right. At Geoff McConville Opticians your 45 minute eye exam will be with the man himself - Geoff!
The reason we take 45 minutes is not just about the technical bits of doing an eye exam. You can do an eye test in 20 minutes and that is what most places do.
But the extra time we spend with you means we can give you better advice and recommendations.
We take more time to find out about YOU, so you can tell us what you really want, what your preferences are, how you use your eyes, what type of work you do etc. And that means you’ll get effective advice and solutions because it is tailored to you.

When having my regular eye check, Geoff found irregularities and advised me to see my GP immediately. This has led to my GP advising hospital appointments for a heart condition. Geoff being so professional has probably saved my life. I would recommend this optician to anyone and certainly have a regular eye test.

Excellent experience. No rushing. Learned so much about my eyes. Completely different experience to all other eye examinations I have EVER had. Geoff has a true passion for eyes and equipment for a deeper exploration. From the moment I made contact with this Service to arriving I was made very welcome and put at ease. First eye appointment I have enjoyed. Came away feeling heard, seen and confident.

I had been a patient of Mr McConvilles for twenty years. On my last appointment back in February 2018, I found that I could not actually see out of my glasses. I went back to Mr McConville and explained to him. He was extremely rude and could not accept that the wrong lens were put into the frames. Unfortunately I had paid for the glasses in full and he refused to give me any part of my money back.
I went to another optician and he confirmed that the wrong lens were in the frames and that I would never be able to see out of them. Mr McConville refused to accept any liability, despite the fact that I had been a patient for 20 years in his practice. Mr McConville is fine to deal with if you agree with everything he says, but refuses to deal with it if there is a problem.

Geoff McConville is an outstanding optician, his staff are excellent and it is all set in a beautiful Georgian townhouse. I visited Geoff as some leading international optometrists had failed to provide a solution to my eye issues. Geoff's attention to detail and innovation in coming up with something that would work for me was very impressive, and the after care even more so. Excellent value for money too and a very fine selection of frames. Can't recommend highly enough.

I never heard of this opticians in Belfast before last week but came across it on Facebook and had an eyetest there last Monday. Definitely the coolest opticians in the City. Geoff, the owner is funny as hell and extremely professional. Sorted me out with a pair of Orgreen glasses- excited to get them and head out at the weekend
