Testimonials

Which branch did you visit?: Sydney Goldwyn Shipley
"I purchased a superb new pair of glasses from Sydney Goldwyn in September, after a most thorough eye examination. I’ve just been back to confirm with Javaid that the varilux tinted lenses (great to have in sunny weather) were performing well along with still fitting fine. On the way home, I stopped, chatting to a neighbour, who noticed my glasses and said how fantastic they looked. So, not only do you get a lasting professional service from friendly staff, you also get positive comments about your new look.

P. S. They do a great cup of coffee as well."

"I was very pleased with all aspects of my recent appointment here. They could not have been more helpful, friendly and efficient. I had a change in prescription so needed to choose new frames for the new lenses, and came away today with my new glasses entirely happy and with much improved vision. The advice given was top quality, and I can sincerely recommend their care."

"Being of a certain age (in my 70s!) I don’t always enjoy change but the arrival of Sydney Goldwyn in Otley is most definitely a change for the better. I very much appreciated the very thorough eye examination I received from Jarvaid Iqbal and all the latest technology it involved. Jarvaid suggested I needed laser treatment as I had a thickening of the lens capsule after a cataract operation several years ago. He contacted the Optegra eye hospital for me ( no visit to the GP was required for which in these Covid times I was very thankful!) I only had a few weeks to wait for the treatment and I am delighted with the result. I would also like to thank Laura who helped me choose a pair of Tom Davies spectacle frames. She has a very good manner and gave me plenty of time to decide what I wanted.

Having Sydney Goldwyn in Otley is a win for me and a win for the town! "

"I had a problem with my eyes where I thought I had forgotten to remove my contact lens, I was unsure what to do so popped into the Otley branch and spoke to a lovely and very helpful optician, Javaid. Even though the practice was busy he committed to seeing me at short notice to check my eyes. Luckily there wasn’t a problem but I just wanted to say thank you for such great customer service and expertise, I left feeling very reassured there were’t any issues. Thank you very much for supporting me."

I had a problem with an eyelash stuck in my left eye which was not budging. I rang Sydney Goldwyn Otley and was given an appointment very quickly. On arrival I was offered a coffee or tea whilst waiting by a very pleasant young man. Soon the offending eyelash was removed. This was excellent service and I wasn't even charged. I recommend Goldwyns very strongly for their kindness, professionalism and speed of service. Thank you.

The team at Shipley are amazing and do everything they can to provide a personal experience for the customer, including a detailed and professional eye test and a range of stylish frames to choose from. The lenses I was recommended are really bright and sharp and the team went out of their way to make adjustments where needed to give me the best vision possible. Being offered a welcome coffee during the appointments was an added bonus too!
Nicky Wilkinson
Very thorough, informative and helpful team led by Javaid. Everyone was particularly sensitive and caring to my Autistic daughters needs, including arranging special appointment times.

The service that I received from Javaid was truly amazing! I was on holiday in Devon and forgot my glasses before swimming... needless to say I ended up losing them when I was covered in a massive wave! I was in a real panic as I was 300 miles from home and with my eyesight, had no hope of driving! I called the Otley opticians and Javaid was immediately on it! He looked at my prescription and posted our some contact lenses that same afternoon and they arrived the next morning at my holiday location! Not only did he save my holiday but also enabled me to safely drive home! I will be making an appointment shortly to organise new glasses. I cannot recommend this optician enough! thank you so much for the amazing service!
Amanda Cameron
What can I say? My 89 year old Mum had damaged her specs during our lockdown. I took them to the Shipley branch where Javaid was dealing with, amongst other things, the painters. He repaired them within minutes when we honestly expected it to be a few days. He was friendly, professional and so willing to go the extra mile - he even offered to collect them from Mum's home if I couldn't get them to him. What a guy! He made an 89 year old and her daughter very happy. Thanks a million - stay safe.

Charlotte Sands
I'd found a great opticians a while ago that I loved but with a newborn couldn't travel that far. I was reticent to go elsewhere as I didn't think I'd find anywhere as good, but I stumbled across Goldwyn's as a local alternative and found a great opticians. Got some lovely glasses, eye test was fab and everyone there was really friendly, putting real effort into finding me the right glasses. Thank you!

Outstanding service at Goldwyn! I was able to book an out of hours appointment for my elderly father following a hospital referral. My father was satisfied with the whole experience; he received a through eye examination, friendly advice with frame selection, care with fitting, and offered a adjustment session without a need for a pre booked appointment. Now my father receives reminders via post for routine check ups. We would gladly recommend this optician to others.
