Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 1,400 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently highlight the exceptionally knowledgeable staff who provide helpful advice and ensure a warm, welcoming atmosphere in every store. Shoppers also express deep satisfaction with the fantastic variety of modern frames and the remarkably reasonable pricing structure that includes professional lens thinning at no extra cost. Some reviewers were not happy with unexpected delivery delays, uncomfortable fits, or incorrect prescriptions that rendered certain pairs completely unwearable. A few consumers noted that specific glasses felt rather tight on the head or required additional professional adjustments shortly after arrival.

Manchester Store

The staff in the Manchester store were so friendly and helpful giving very good advise on the type of glasses we should purchase. My husband and I both purchased varifocal lenses and folding clip on sun glasses.
We chose to have them delivered to our home address and they arrived within 10 working days and we are very happy with them. I highly recommend Iolla for service, quality and price we will definitely purchase more glasses from them.

A very easy and pleasant way to buy glasses

I just bought my 3rd pair of glasses from Iolla.
The shops are delightful , the staff are very helpful and the designs are great.
Even better that there’s now a branch near me where I collected my glasses.

From walking in the door of the store in west George st Glasgow I felt welcomed and put at my ease. I am very indecisive when picking frames but was encouraged to browse with support and advice close at hand. Once I picked. Few frames again I got amazing advice. I am delighted with my frames how they look and also extremely satisfied with the varifocal lenses. I also purchased the clip on sunglasses and never having them before am delighted. I’ll certainly be back and will have been recommending Iolla for service efficiency and price.
