Anne et Valentin

Structured by metal and softened with plastic, the focal point of this series is its association of materials, equaled only by its association of subtle colours. These original and bold frames make for a challenging and completely unique line that anticipates a clientele of electic tastes, interested in style, yes, but also in substance.

But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what some of our amazing customers have said about their experiences with us.

Nicola

A friendly, professional and thorough examination and experience.

Lynne

Today I attended an appointment at Canon Street Optometrist for an eye test with Martina. She was very professional and I felt that I received a very thorough examination. Next was the exciting part of organising new frames for prescription sunglasses and also some updated everyday glasses. Vanessa was very attentive and helpful with the choices that I’d made. I would definitely recommend Canon Street to anyone who values the health of their eyes and the wonderful selection of frames!

Elaine

So helpful, everything was explained in full without being pressured to purchase. Would not go anywhere else.

Lucy

Always super service. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you.

Kirsty

I received amazing service from Martina! Although I didn’t need glasses there was an easy solution and haven’t had any trouble since!

Denise

Lovely staff and great service. Listen to your concerns and remedies them.
