JANEY GREEN - APRIL 2024
"Would definitely recommend…. And they have the funkiest frames in Stratford!"


Fabulous and friendly service from the moment I walked through the door until I picked up my beautiful new glasses! Claire knew instinctively exactly what would suit me when I described what I wanted and they fitted me in there and then for a thorough examination.
The whole team are so approachable and understanding and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Would definitely recommend…. And they have the funkiest frames in Stratford!
EVE FAULKNER - APRIL
"Would 100% recommend Claire and the CG team".

Claire was extremely helpful when I first walked in and knew exactly what frames suited me and what didn’t. The whole process from ordering in several frames for me to try and collecting my glasses took 2 weeks, meanwhile I was getting updates via text. Would 100% recommend Claire and the CG team.
HANNAH LEES - APRIL 2024
"The whole team were fantastic, very thorough, professional and friendly."

The whole team were fantastic, very thorough, professional and friendly. I had put off getting new glasses for far too long as I always feel overwhelmed by the choice. Claire was so helpful and patient, she spent a long time helping me choose different styles to try and giving me advice on what suited me best. At no point did I feel rushed or under pressure to purchase and I’m so happy with my new glasses. I would absolutely recommend CG Optical.
