Groovy Glasses is an optometrist and eyewear studio at 17 New Regent Street in the Christchurch central city. It is known for designer frames sourced from designers around the world, and for a frame gallery that the business says is unlike any other. Along with the frames and sunglasses, it offers comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fitting and a complimentary frame styling service that fits choices to each person's features and taste. The practice uses Zeiss and Hoya lenses.
Customers who have written about the studio praise the clear explanations during eye tests, the lack of pressure to buy, and the range of frames. One says the team went out of their way on a prescription pair, and another says a quick repair to a loose screw was handled well. The business says eyes should be tested every one to two years. On Open Locally's figures, there are six other optometrist listings within 1 km. The nearest are OPSM The Palms and Southern Eye Specialists, both 0.3 km away with no rating, and OPSM The Crossing, 0.5 km away and rated 4.8 from 200 reviews. For someone who wants a designer frame and a full eye test in one visit, the studio is the practical choice.
