Report
At McCrystal Opticians, children are made to feel welcome with a wonderful choice of frames. We often need to modify or add to existing frames to get that perfect fit, particularly for those with abnormal facial symmetry or facial trauma. We also stock Erin's World frames which provide a custom fit for individuals with Down syndrome. We want to make choosing children's glasses a fun and engaging experience and have a great range of frames for boys and girls.

Had an appointment today and was met by Sarah, the optician. She was/is a very caring and professional person and would love to give her a shout out. I had a very painful eye and Sarah sorted all including the referral to the Royal. I will be recommending Mccrystals to family and friends. Thank you again

Our daughter was having significant problems reading and with other activities. We attended Noel McCrystal to see if the school vision programme might help. I would have to say that we were treated so well from start to finish and as the cost structure was explained upfront and paid in two halves at no time did I feel that I was being exploited. The programme completed today and I am delighted to say that the programme helped our daughter significantly - her reading speed has doubled, the words no longer blur or move around the page and in fact Isabel has started to read for pleasure ( this was unheard of before). I would recommend this programme and say if you think it might help, go see Noel and his team.

Our son was experiencing difficulties reading, i.e. words shimmering on the page, also seeing the board in school and homework spellings were an issue, taking up significant time at night. After a Dyslexia diagnosis we attended Mr. Mc Crystal who assessed our son's eyesight and put him on a two year programme specifically focused at correcting his vision, which we have found to be very beneficial increasing our son's confidence and maximising his ability.
In our son's own words "my eyes used to be tired, I used to see shimmers, it was hard to read and now it is much easier to read and spell". I could not recommend Mr. Mc Crystal's Opticians highly enough for children experiencing literacy difficulties. We found the programme excellent and the staff very helpful, supportive, efficient and good communicators and would have no problem discussing our experience of this programme with other parents.
