What our clients have said

As your 100% local, Kiwi-owned optometrists, Canon Street Optometrists is passionate about providing you with the very best service and the ultimate in eye care and fashion eyewear. But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what some of our amazing customers have said about their experiences with us.

Rebecca (daughter aged 13)

Josie feels like she can focus and concentrate better on tasks asked of her at school, and words aren’t moving and jumbled on the pages anymore, and she is generally happier.

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 D’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.

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!

Rachel (daughter aged 5)

Hi just wanted a write in to say how fantastic I find your customer services - just amazing (sic) - you guys always go above and beyond are super helpful and kind. Just wanted to day thank you again!! It was a scary road knowing Mollie was needing glasses and felt more overwhelming going to the first place we tried but once we got to you guys I felt so much better and Mollie is always more than happy to go to appointments with you guys. Thanks again you are all fab.
