The honest version

Why an independent optician

Not because independents are automatically better, but because you can judge one on evidence instead of on a brand.

star

See the rating before you go

Every listing carries the public star rating and the number of people who left it — the good ones and the bad ones.

Nobody can pay to rank

Listings are compiled from public sources. There is no advertising tier, no sponsored placement and no partner programme.

balance

We don't sell glasses

We're not a shop and we don't take a commission, so what you pay is between you and the optician.

call

Straight through to the shop

Phone numbers and shop websites are listed where the shop publishes them. No booking middleman in the way.

How to use the directory

Three steps, and none of them need an account.

01

Find your town

Choose a country, then a town. Every town page lists its shops with their public rating and review count.

02

Compare before you call

Shortlist two or three rather than taking the first result. Ratings, review counts and phone numbers sit on every listing.

03

Call and ask three things

Is the test free with a purchase? Does it include an eye-health check? What does it cost on its own? Ask all three before you book.

Questions

Straight answers

What this directory is, where the numbers come from, and what it deliberately doesn't do.

No. Listings are compiled from public sources and nobody pays to be on this site. There is no advertising tier, no sponsored placement and no partner programme, so no shop can buy a higher position.

They are the public Google ratings and review counts shown for each shop, collected when the listing was compiled. They are snapshots and they change, so check the shop's own page before you go.

Neither. We don't sell glasses or lenses, we don't take a commission and we don't book appointments for you. We list the shops and, where they publish them, their phone number and website.

No. There is no sign-up and no email address required to see a shop's rating, phone number or address.

Coverage is published country by country: Malaysia, Singapore and Australia today, with 1,992 shops across 587 towns and areas. Shops open and close, so if you spot one that has gone, tell us and we'll take it down.
