The best! I came in from remote Central Australia to try on glasses I intended to buy online in the new year. The lovely young person (sorry I can't remember their name) could not have been more helpful - making sure my script had all the information, checking pupil measurements and frame sizes. I ordered my glasses on line and they've arrived this week and they are perfect. Thanks to the care of the staff (especially the lovely young person I can't recall the name of).

Sent on a mission by my optometrist to find a very particular frame colour, I wandered into Dresden Vision Fitzroy and promptly tried on every pair in sight... rearranging displays, swapping arms, second‑guessing myself, the whole saga. 🙄 Through it all, Louis was a saint: patient, warm, and genuinely invested in helping me choose the right frames. 💕 Six‑star service. Dresden’s funky, eco‑friendly, Aussie‑made frames sealed the deal. Absolutely recommend. Lyn 🐼

This place is just as good as everyone says. Sam is an excellent optometrist who took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything we were testing. The other staff out front were knowledgeable, funny and relaxed and explained the whole system clearly. I’ve walked away with great, stylish and affordable recyclable glasses and I couldn’t be happier. Go here!

Love the concept! Got my first pair a few weeks back and they’re SO good! Lightweight and super comfy, don’t slide down my nose like other glasses, the sizing is so clever allowing a tailored fit. The frame designs are great, at other places I get overwhelmed with choices but here they seem to have selected the most universally popular frames that suit everyone so all you have to do is choose your colours which is so much harder than it sounds because they’re all so good! Love that the arms can be swapped to customise your look. They’re so affordable too! I’ve been telling everyone about them. Keep it up legends!

I have been buying my glasses from Dresden Vision for about 6 years now and they are the best. The optometrists are super knowledgeable and will tell you if you don't need a new prescription. But given how cheap they actually are I get new ones most years. The colours are just fabulous.

It's my first time purchasing glasses in Dresden, and I highly recommend the overall experience! I had to see the optometrist, Sam, for an eye checkup and prescription. Sam is incredibly kind — he explains concepts well and is a very warm person to be around. Kristy is also accommodating and friendly. Thanks to her, I found out the proper size for my glasses. Thank you, Reddit, for suggesting Dresden!

The optometrist was lovely and extremely knowledgeable. Love range of glasses in different sizes and colours, also that they recycle the plastic to make new glasses.
