I was only staying overnight in St Kilda and my glasses broke. They were able to fix me up a really solid temporary solution on the spot. Very helpful and cheerful staff

Sarah was extremely helpful and kind when I dropped in with my broken sunglasses. Sarah fixed the lens on the spot and was so warm and welcoming, despite the fact my glasses had been purchased elsewhere.I cannot thank them enough and will be returning here for my eye exams in the future.

I was recommended to St Kilda Eyecare for dry eyes and found Dr. Sophie Holmberg to be excellent. After thorough eye testing she recommended a treatment program, which she wrote down for me to follow.I am very grateful for the professional care and thoroughly recommend Dr Sophie and St Kilda Eyecare.

I had a pair of vintage sunglasses that were a little too big for me, and in less than 5 minutes Reece had them fixed! Thank you Reece, for your help, all the while with a smile. Highly recommend if you’re looking for friendly, helpful support with your glasses.

Lovely experience. Went in to see if my boyfriend could fix his sunnies that had lost a screw, and the lady at the counter fixed the sunnies free of charge. Great service!

I sat on my glasses resulting in a twist in the frame. I walked around with crooked glasses for days until I finally found Sarah at St.Kilda Eyeware. She was so kind and helpful. Not only did she straighten them out - she put on new nose pads and cleaned them from top to bottom. The cost? Zero. Just a smile and a giggle and a promise to be more careful. I’m going back to get new glasses as soon as I can. Why? Cause a little act of kindness is worth a million dollars these days. Thank you Sarah.

Lovely shop in convenient location with very helpful staff :-)

Great local business. Excellent service. Many thanks to Sarah who adjusted and cleaned my glasses free of charge 👍👍

St Kilda Eyecare were very helpful fixing my reading glasses on the spot, as I’m travelling it was most appreciated. Thank you so much 🙏

Not happy with the eye exam or the charges. I wasn't told about additional out of pocket exam costs before the consult. Pushy staff and non existent service by the guy at the front counter. I made contact via email and telephone on four occasions to get my script which I was told would be emailed to me but in the end I had to go back to the store to collect it!Thank you for your reply. Given that Ifollowed up on my script at least 4x and when I came in to pick it up as arranged the day before, it had still not been printed and I had to wait again. I am more sure than ever that it was never sent ! The script sent to me was incorrect and my new optometrist had to re check and modify it. Lucky I didn't just go ahead and use the script as sent to me for my new specs.What a waste of $100 out pocket costs!!The optometrist explained all the extras she wanted to sell me so I'm sure she should have told me about the charges for the additional tests that she wanted to perform. I should have been asked before the tests were done & given an opportunity to consent.John was not able to detail or explain the additional charges!You really need to do better. I will definitely never return!!!

Amazing customer service from the lovely lady that always is very happy and helpful to fix my frames. Would give 10 ⭐ if I could.Much appreciated.

2026-06-02T04:21:23.191Z

Fixed my glasses on the spot despite not being a client. Great friendly service at no charge. Thank you.

2026-05-29T05:23:12.042Z

Great service, friendly staff, and very professional. Highly recommend!

2026-04-18T00:20:38.374Z

Thank you so much for repairing my glasses!!!

2026-04-16T03:26:05.183Z

Camping. Awesome for the soul, hazardous to eyewear. Especially when you plunk your 105 keg backside on top of your glasses that you've thoughtlessly left in your campchair. But, fear not, Sarah will save your twisted frames! She carefully spent 10 to 15 minutes straightening my frames and they're back to great condition! Meanwhile, Reece patiently showed me their extensive Maui Jim lineup (mmmm... Maui Jim...), so now I've found somewhere to feed my Maui Jim addiction. Great service, really friendly and caring staff, and a fantastic St Kilda local business!

A friendly supportive local practice

2026-03-27T01:33:16.110Z

Excellent service from the ladies. Accidently stood on my glasses this morning and warped the frames. Fixed in 60 seconds 👍

2026-03-15T22:38:50.361Z

Thank you to Sarah for finding me new frames to fit my existing lenses. We looked at a few frames but Sarah found the perfect pair for me. 5/5 for Sarah!

2026-03-06T12:45:31.856Z

Walked in to look to fix my sunglasses recently. Was greeted by a young lady with a warm smile. She had helped me fixed my specs at no charge! The young man there was very nice too. I will be back to get my glasses when I need it next!

2026-03-05T07:01:27.143Z

Been with Liz and Vicki and co ever since I arrived in Oz over 22 years ago.Eye health, amazing service and constantly evolving tech and frame assortment keeps me coming back. Always a satisfied and happy customer. Also their staff members are unsurpassed.Thanks

After seeing multiple optometrists in the past, I decided to seek a contact lens specialist. Vicky Tranis is excellent and we come up with a workable solution for me. Very happy with the lenses recommended, examination, and consideration for my visual needs. Highly recommended.

Booked a week in advance and for a time sensitive medical for a job, which I communicated when booking.On the day the optometrist call approximately an hour before the appointment to say she didn't have what she needed for my appointment and that she was retiring anyway so I should book somewhere else.No apology was offered and it was pretty poor form in general.I hope she enjoys her retirement. I may also be enjoying unemployment thanks to this blunder.Edit: The stores response below is not honest or accurate. I explained when initially booking the appointment that the there was urgency, there was no empathetic discussion or consideration of this when the appointment was cancelled like the stores response has implied. When the optometrist called an hour before this appointment to cancel all I got was a rushed call which consisted solely of "I don't have the right things for you. Also I'm retiring so you should probably book somewhere else."To imply the optometrist had any sort of conversation with me and was trying to be considerate of my urgency when telling me to go elsewgere when she clearly did not is just an attempt to avoid accountability. If they respected my urgency they would have been prepared, cancelled at a reasonable time or at least had the decency to be apologetic.

I walked by and saw the shop randomly so I thought let’s ask if they can help me out with my glasses. I went in and got help straight away, John made them fit perfectly !He was extrem kind and I went out with a smile, thanks for the service :)

2026-02-11T23:14:42.659Z

St Kilda Eyecare identified my need for close up reading glasses and they also found me a pair of smart ‘half glasses’ which work well with my lifestyle.

2026-02-05T03:07:19.722Z

Liz was such a great help when I walked into St Kilda Eyecare feeling frantic and in pain. Even though I didn’t have an appointment and the issue came up suddenly overnight, she saw me straight away and assisted me as best she could. I’m so grateful for her care and kindness.

2026-01-24T23:31:21.534Z

I had an outstanding experience with John at St Kilda Eyecare. From the moment I walked in, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. John took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident with my eye care decisions. His knowledge and attention to detail really stood out, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his patients and their vision. The whole experience was smooth, welcoming, and reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John and the team at St Kilda Eyecare to anyone looking for excellent eye care in Melbourne. Thank you John!!

As a St Kilda local, I popped into St Kilda Eyecare today in the hope that they could save me a trip into town to my regular Optometrist & fix a pair of glasses that I had sat on last night 🙄 (not the first time), popping out both lenses and separating one of the arms. Not only did John do this on-the-spot for me, but he refused to charge me (!), claiming that it had only taken a few minutes of his time. I’m still in shock. Something for Nothing? A very rare deed indeed. In addition to this, John was very polite and professional, other traits that seem to be getting rarer these days. Their collection of eyewear, which I perused while waiting, is also impressive. I will definitely be back! Highly recommended.

2026-01-07T06:23:11.895Z

I've been here yesterday after I broke my sunglasses (both glasses were intact, one came out of the frame and the frame was bent rather bad).John said it would be 30 dollars if he manages to fix it or nothing if he doesn't. As you can see by the picture he sure did.Very happy I don't need to buy a new pair.Heavily recommend this place if you need your glasses fixed
