  • Deborah Sheehan: I have to share the incredible customer service I received from the Oscar Wylee lady in Civic shop. She went above and beyond to help me to choose the style of glasses which suit me best. So patient and understanding with me because my usual experience getting glasses often leaves me in tears and really stressed from a different business. I have never experienced this level of care getting my glasses. I will never be going anywhere else. I highly recommend anyone due for glasses especially if you usually find it a stressful process.
  • Diana Paterson: Good experience at Oscar Wylee in the city yesterday - no wait time - staff very friendly and professional - and my needs were met.
  • John Devitt: The staff especially Cindy was very helpful, with Cindy, super informative and very professional. She is my go-to from now on.
