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.

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…

Yvonne

I would highly recommend Canon Street as THE place to go if you want the best !!!!

Fraser

The examination was very thorough and probably one of the best I have ever experienced. So thanks to the Optician and the other staff member who helped me to select the frame for my upgraded glasses.

Susan

Very professional, thorough and caring staff. The reassurance I received about the state of my eye health was worth every cent of the exam cost.

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.

Elaine

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