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.

Deb

I’d just like to say what a wonderful checkup I had there today. In particular I was very impressed with Ros, her knowledge and guidance with the right glasses for me was great and made the whole experience so much easier.

I’m very excited to get my new glasses.

Ngaire

I have been seeing Martina for a number of years and I am very happy with all her advice and treatments she has done on my eyes to keep them healthy. I wouldn’t go anywhere else…

Karen, age 58

Martina’s ongoing care has been fantastic and her excellent knowledge of the fitting and wearing of Ortho K’s has made the transition very easy.  I have felt very supported by Martina in the process of changing to Ortho K’s and would recommend her and Canon Street Optometrists Timaru to anyone who is considering these lenses.

Anna (son aged 7)

Sarah prescribed new glasses and a routine of exercises which works on the signal connections to the brain. Life at home is a lot easier, school has been easier, and the teachers are supportive. It’s just been amazing to see the improvement.

Russell

Staff are efficient and welcoming. It’s always a pleasure to deal with them.

Holly

It’s always a positive experience getting my daughter’s eyes checked and new glasses, thank you for the many years of outstanding service.
