Concept, range and plentiful promotions and discounts make this a fun budget friendly face refresh from a locally made (NSW from 100% recycled plastic) optical brand. Online is easy, but in-store best for initial try-ons. Go early as stores get very busy.

I've been going to Dresden for several years now, and their optometrists are always friendly and efficient, as are their counter staff. I love the fact that their frames are made in Australia from recycled plastics.

I discovered Dresden through online marketing and I’m genuinely thrilled with my purchase. Buying glasses online can feel like a bit of a gamble, but that definitely wasn’t the case here. I’ve worn prescription glasses for years, and because I need thinner lenses, the cost has always added up quickly. I’d usually avoid extras like photochromatic lenses for that reason. I also found myself hanging onto old pairs for outdoor activities because I didn’t want to risk damaging expensive glasses. Dresden has completely changed that for me. Their affordability means I can finally wear an up-to-date prescription with photochromatic lenses for everything I do, without worrying about the cost. It’s such a game changer. I can look after my eyes in this NZ sun. The colour selection is incredible too: fun, vibrant options that are usually hard to find. And despite being an international order to NZ, shipping was fast. I also really appreciated that they double-checked my prescription after I submitted it online. Some might be irritated by that but I'd prefer that they get it right with eye wear. Highly recommend.

Like most people I rarely bother to write a positive review but...... Staff are helpful and not at all pushy. Glasses were ready in 1 week when I was expecting 3 weeks (for multifocals). The lenses and frames are light and fit well. I've never had glasses that fit so well, but maybe that says more about the shape of my head :-). Overall an unbelievably positive experience and I'm actually kicking myself I wasted so much money at larger companies with poorer products and service.
