I just bought a sun glass for my wife, developed in Scotland, nice look and innovation, I did not know this brand and she liked so much the glass.

Excellent service
Excellent service, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Took prescription, measured up and got great glasses 2 weeks later. Due to a high prescription I had to get the very thinned lenses and even then the cost was a third of other places. Great quality frames and the varifocal lenses are the best yet (not the same as being able to read prior to needing them but still better than the previous from an expensive high street brand.) would definitely recommend (and have done!)

IOLLA at Bruntsfield. Highly Recommended
IOLLA at Bruntsfield.
Nice showroom, great selection of frames. I quite literally fond the frames I liked almost immediately, and I am fussy and had tried several other opticians without success. The choice here is varied and unique.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful (both when I ordered and when I collected my glasses).
Glasses were ready when they said they would be. Been wearing them for around 3 week now and I am delighted. The frames and lenses (vari focal and reactlight) were just what I was looking for.
I was told that this is 100% a Scottish Business - what's not to like??
IOLLA get a huge recommendation from me, and thanks for the outstanding service!

Pleased with my purchase
The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a good range of styles to choose from. The ones I chose are comfortable and I'm very pleased with them. The time taken for them to be ready once ordered was as advised at the time of ordering.

Jo shop manager
Bruntsfield shop manager Jo, very helpful and spent time discussing if frames suited.
The only criticism I would have is no eye test available in store, this may cause a problem getting a prescription from a rival optician.

Hey Irene, thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that Jo took the time to help you find the right frames, we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words 😊
We appreciate your feedback about eye tests. As an eye-wear retailer, we don’t currently offer eye examinations, but you’re always welcome to bring in a prescription from any optician and we’ll be happy to help you choose the perfect frames.
We hope to see you again soon!
