I’d never been to Dresden before, but I’m officially hooked! A huge shoutout to Colleen for her wonderful conversation, genuine advice and helping me find frames that actually suit me. She made the whole experience so much fun. Simon Lan was equally fantastic. His optometry service was thorough, professional and incredibly informative. His recommendations were spot on, and I felt completely confident I was getting the best advice for my vision. And the Dresden concept? Absolutely mind-blowing! Being able to change the look of your glasses to match your mood or outfit, at such an affordable price, is pure genius. Fantastic service, brilliant value and a genuinely enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be back. Love it—thank you, Colleen, Simon and the Dresden West End team! 👓 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very thorough. Despite me having a recent eye test he was able to be more precise and accurate thus providing me with far superior glasses

Dresden Vision provides excellent frames and delivers exceptional service. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly! My optician today was Jules, she guided me through what frames suit my face shape more to even suggesting new creative styles to enhance my look. I got gingerbread frames with oat milk arms, a combo I would've never thought of but I can't help other than being obsessed! They also helped curate suitable eye contacts for my boyfriend through their eye test service. Thank you Dresden Vision, you've left a lasting impression and I will be back again!! <3

Every colour of the rainbow is covered...and then some. As a marriage celebrant I have been wearing Dresden prescription glasses for years and testament to how good they are, I now have completed my set of every colour released and they are proudly displayed in style with their own frame and arms tower.

Simon is the best optometrist I've ever visited out of many. Very nice to speak with someone who technically explains your eye issues and the solutions, without fluff or upselling.

What an absolute find! I have tried most of the opticians on Main Street, but I give Dresden a 10 out of 10 in several categories: value for money, multifocal lenses that actually work, and—drum roll —great customer service, particularly from Colleen at Dresden West End in Brisbane. Your next call should be to Dresden. I’d give them 6 stars, not just 5!
