An independent optometry and glasses repair shop at 6/14 Acheron Drive in Riccarton, Christchurch. The website says it is an independent business with an in-house optometrist for new prescriptions. Glasses are repaired while you wait or by courier, for all brands of glasses, spectacles and sunglasses. Repairs include lenses, hinges, nose pads, frame straightening and welding, and the shop keeps spare parts for brands such as Oakley and Ray-Ban. Same-day replacement single vision lenses are available, and progressive and bifocal lenses take two to ten days. The shop also repairs jewellery with laser equipment, sells frames and sunglasses, and makes clip-on polarised sunglasses. The website lists WINZ, ACC, Enable and Southern Cross Easy Claim as approved or supported suppliers.
Customers mention glasses repair most often, along with lens replacement and quick repairs. One customer had reading glasses re-lensed while they waited, and said there was no upselling or pressure to book extra appointments. Another said their sunglasses hinges were straightened in about five minutes. One customer who needed a new lens was told by other places it would take at least two weeks, and it was ready the same day at a fair price. Customers also say the repairs are guaranteed, and one took a broken ring to the shop and had the stone secured as well. The nearby optometrists with reviews on Open Locally are Independent Lens Specialists, at the same spot, and a Blenheim practice 0.8 km away.
