Just atrocious. I paid over $1,200 for two pairs of multi-focal glasses with the same prescription. They were unusable. The focal area width on the lens was extremely narrow. You actually have to pay more to have a wider view. No matter where I looked I couldn't focus. I went back, had a second eye test and changed the lenses to simple bifocals.… Read more
They are equally as useless. The tiny focus area is out of alignment and I can only focus out of one eye at a time. To use the other eye I have to move my head, but then I can't see out of the previous eye. I knew when I was ordering these that the staff had no clue what they were doing. They certainly weren't 'experts' and appeared to be following a script to up-sell you on features, rather than actually helping you buy glasses.
More fool me for going back to OPSM. The range of glasses frames was extremely poor but I persisted unfortunately. Communication with both the Optometrist and the service person was appalling, I bought a single vision pair of glasses but in actual fact needed a pair with multi focal lens. The discussion with the optometrist was misunderstood on… Read more
both sides. I've persisted with the said glasses for three weeks and they are useless to me. When I took them back, the service was even worse and there was no solution offered - just more money please to get the multi focal lenses. I never write bad reviews and rarely do I walk out of a store but there's always a first time. I now have a $580 pair of glasses I can't use so I'll have to write off the cost and go to Specsavers which I should have done in the first place!

“Customer Care” Without Much Actual Care I’ve been a long-term Oakley customer for many years, including multiple prescription frames and numerous sunglasses purchased for both myself and family members. I genuinely like the brand’s design language, comfort, and overall product aesthetics, which makes this experience particularly disappointing. … Read more
My Oakley Metalink prescription frame developed cracking on the temple arms after around two years of normal daily use. The issue itself was manageable and isolated only to the temples — the lenses and the rest of the frame remained in excellent condition. I was not seeking a free replacement at all costs; in fact, I was more than willing to pay for genuine replacement parts if available.
What disappointed me was the complete lack of after-sales support structure behind what is marketed as a premium eyewear ecosystem under Luxottica.
Oakley customer support referred me to OPSM because the glasses were purchased there. I then contacted OPSM Customer Care and provided detailed information, photos, and the full background of the issue. Unfortunately, the responses I received were largely generic copy-pasted policy templates that did not meaningfully address the actual situation or provide any practical pathway forward. For a department branded as “Customer Care,” the experience honestly felt surprisingly impersonal and procedural.
OPSM then advised they could not source genuine replacement parts and suggested I contact Oakley directly. Meanwhile, Oakley had already informed me the parts were unavailable through their own channels. In other words, the customer was effectively left stuck between disconnected support systems.
To be fair, the local OPSM store manager I dealt with was polite, professional, and genuinely tried to help within the limitations of the system. My criticism is not directed at individual staff members. The issue is the broader support infrastructure itself.
What surprised me most is that:
* the frame model is still current, * the temple arms are mechanically detachable using screws, * yet there appears to be no genuine spare-parts pathway available through either Oakley or OPSM in Australia.
For a premium brand, I expected at least one of the following:
* access to genuine replacement parts, * a repair pathway, * coordinated support between Oakley and OPSM, * or some form of reasonable goodwill assistance given the issue occurred within warranty, and I have identified only marginally outside warranty.
Instead, the overall experience felt highly fragmented and procedural despite the heavy emphasis on “premium customer care” branding.
I still like Oakley products themselves, but this experience has significantly changed my perception of the brand’s long-term ownership and after-sales support experience.
Update: After posting my feedback, OPSM Customer Care reached out through the platform and requested my case reference number for further review. I provided the requested details immediately (Reference: ##RE-1540976##). Unfortunately, more than four weeks have now passed with no further update or follow-up.
I appreciate the effort from the local store manager who genuinely tried to assist, but this follow-up experience further reinforces my original concern: the issue is not just the warranty outcome, but the lack of meaningful ownership and communication throughout the customer support process.

Excellent Service, Top Quality Frames and Lenses – Recently had my 2 yearly eye test and upgrade for new glasses at OPSM North Lakes, Queensland. Dr. Phil Tan gave me my eye test and he was simply awesome. Brian assisted me with my choice of Oakley Square Back titanium frames. These guys made the whole process of choosing my progressive lenses and frames so easy. Dr. Phil conducted my eye test… Read more · 2
and was very professional. Thank you so much. Brian in the store was also very professional and stated my glasses would be ready with my new prescription progressive lenses in two weeks. Was so surprised to get them in just 6 days. and the quality is fantastic.
I wear glasses all the time and these Oakley glasses and top level lenses are simply fantastic.
Great service from the guys up at OPSM North Lakes. These guys were so busy on the day and Dr. Phil and Brian still made me feel welcome and the experience was so easy.
I highly recommend OPSM North lakes in Queensland. Awesome!

I definitely do not recommend this store. I bought a pair of glasses there less than two months ago and I've lost count of how many times I've had to go back to get them fixed because the lenses were coming loose. Every two days, my glasses would completely detach. I paid an absurd amount for the glasses and they don't seem to care about replacing… Read more
them. Every time it's the same excuse that they fixed them, but they never fix ANYTHING. I don't have time to go twice a week to get my glasses fixed. The last time I went was on a Sunday and now my glasses are CROOKED.

What a scam! I got a gift card wishing my birthday from OPSM. $100* off. The * means when I spend $400 on complete pair of glasses. Who wants to give a gift to someone but asks $400 first and then that person returns $100. Gift is gift, it should not be a scam. Grow up OPSM!
Hi Robi, Thank you for your feedback. Could you please send an email to customercare@opsm.com.au

Where do I start. First eye test was wrong. Didn't know that until I picked up my sunglasses and reading glasses. Had second eye test and waited another two weeks to pick up my glasses. Still couldn't read through the bifocals. Long distance… Read more
was OK. Turns out that they hadn't put the new lenses into the glasses. Went home and left three of them trying to figure it out. Went back and still couldn't read with them. Was told by the Manager that I just needed to take them home for two weeks and I'd get used to them. As a wearer of bifocals, I found that to be a VERY strange statement. I went home and found that the reading part was still in the wrong spot. I was trying to read through the long distance part. The Manager had suggested that I get a THIRD eye test if after two weeks I wasn't happy. She also wanted me there when I had that test. I knew that I didn't need another test but I made a day to be there when she was as I wasn't able to make an actual appointment. I was told just not to be there in the two hour lunch period. The day before that (appointment) day, I was called and told that the Manager wouldn't be in the next day and that I should come in on Saturday instead. I found that infuriating as I'd been into the store seven times already and this was to be the eighth. I went in anyway and asked for my money back. By the way, I was told that the Manager had swapped stores with another woman for the day. They gave me all but $95 back, which they said was to cover the specialised eye tests. I basically got nothing for my $95 as all optometrists will do their own tests. I was also chastised for coming in on the day that the Manager wasn't there because I'd been told that she wouldn't be there. So much for customer service. I will NEVER return to OPSM or recommend them to anyone. I've since been to Specsavers, had wonderful service and saved a bucketload of money.
Follow-up · Since writing my review, I have been asked to contact customer care but, as far as I'm concerned, I've given enough of my time to OPSM and come away without anything and ended up $95 out of pocket. The Manager's attitude was unacceptable, as far as I am concerned. I did what she asked (except book in for a 3rd eye test or try for two weeks to… Read more

I got a pair of sunglasses( prescription lenses) nearly 18 months ago and the coating of the lenses melted and distorted in 12 months. The manager of the shop accepted to get them replaced but after 15min, she called me and told me that was my… Read more
fault and refused to get them replaced. I am really disappointed with poor quality of the lenses and inconsistency in their communication. I am using glasses for nearly 30 years and this is the first time that I have experienced this issue with lenses. Very Poor costumer service. Will never buy from OPSM again.

Customer service was extremely disappointing. After paying a substantial amount for #PRADA branded products, my order was not delivered within the promised timeframe, nor was there any communication regarding the delay. When I emailed, I was advised that the Fountain Gate branch would contact me. Another week passed with no phone call, no update,… Read more
and no effort to resolve the issue. Even after Head Office instructed the branch to contact me, nobody bothered to follow up.
It feels like I am the one doing all the work—chasing my order, making inquiries , and constantly following up. As a paying customer, I should not have to search for information about my own purchase.
To make matters worse, when I raised a complaint about an issue that was clearly not my fault, I was treated poorly, receiving uncomfortable looks and feeling as though my concerns were unwelcome.
I have never experienced such poor customer service after spending a significant amount of money for a #PRADA. Sadly, the after-sales support was non-existent.

This is an extremely uncomfortable place to shop. High pressure up-selling on every product. I felt like I was in a used car lot. Go in for an eye test, they up-sell you to a retina scan. Another $60. Commit to buying glasses? They up-sell you on frames. They tell you the optometrist has recommended the most expensive lenses which are around $800… Read more
and refer to a handwritten note on the prescription. Guaranteed they do this with every customer. They put so much pressure on you it's embarrassing and cringe. To top it all off, they are by far the most expensive glasses retailer I have ever been to. Never again.

Opsm has become super greedy with frames that are 50% more than competitors and lenses that are triple competitors’. Then they are super slow taking weeks to make when others do it in days.

for wasting over $800 of my money I will never ever go into an opsm shop again!! 2026, I got vouchers to use in opsm, thought I would give them another go. I called Coffs Harbour branch. Now they charge $65 per child per test!! Too bad if you have 3, 4, 5 kids. Where do they get off charging for kids to have their eyes checked. How do they expect parents to fork out money with the general cost of living. 4 kids = $260, for an eye test. Up your bum too opsm

I wish I had read reviews before I booked my contact lens consult. They bulk billed with Medicare and then wanted to charge me for the consult on top. Tried to make me feel like they were doing me a favour and I my time in the end. Wish I’d have gone elsewhere, which I’m going to have to do anyway.

Absolute worst experience. They got my prescription wrong multiple times (took an optometrist filling in from another store to notice and fix). This impacted my glasses and contact lense trials. I’d been in multiple times for the contacts. Once my prescription was fixed, I asked for it to order elsewhere. I was not allowed this until (another)… Read more
aftercare appointment. This was frustrating as I didn’t have the time to keep going in to store. I then lost one of the trial contacts and they told me they’d have to order a new trial pair for an aftercare and still couldn’t give me the prescription. Nearly a month later I call to check, they tell me they did have them (no one rang me and told me) but have now lost them after moving stores. For the second time, I asked for a manager to ring me and for the second time no one did. I gave up and will be going elsewhere. What a joke for a more expensive optometrist. Avoid at all costs.

is now February 2026. No one can seem to tell me where they are. I was promised that the state manager and regional manager would contact me but they have not. They don’t even communicate with the staff in the store. Happy to take my money, ( paid in full) not happy to supply a product No offer of compensation. No support. Do not use OPSM! Glad I had a pair of glasses I can use while I continue to wait.
Follow-up · So to respond to the questions asked above…. The glasses were ordered on 8th Dec. I expected them before Christmas 2025. The Lab is still making them I am told. In reality I don’t think they will ever be made. OPSM have reimbursed me the money I paid. No one seems to say why they take so long, only that they are still being made.

The prescription wasn't even correct!!! These subscription plans are such predatory practices. I knew I had cancelled this plan because 1) my subscription has expired and 2) their payment system never works (always rejects my working cards). It somehow still renewed and within 30 minutes of the order being made I made a polite call to customer… Read more
care to cancel this, expecting an easy "no worries" answer, given it's not a correct prescription, or at least options such as updating the prescription. 4 days later I got a reply and this is their cold response to me (who had been purchasing contact lenses from them since 2020):
"I have requested that your order be cancelled; however, I was informed that it has already been processed beyond the point at which we requested cancellation. Once the order is shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. Please note that contact lenses may only be returned and not exchangeable or refundable unless defective."
They have lost me as a customer forever. Phone calls to the customer service team gets "we will review this" and no response ever. I have completed a credit card dispute to hopefully claw money back from them and never shop with them EVER EVER again.

At a regular eye test, the optometrist Kevin Han at Warringah Mall OPSM failed to explain that my new prescription would only work for close-up reading, not everyday office use like my previous glasses. Based on this, I ordered new glasses elsewhere and found them unusable for daily work. When I returned to inquire as to why the prescription was… Read more
so different, Kevin Han was blunt and rude. He dismissed my concerns by saying that "once you turn 40, your eyesight will change anyway and this prescription will work", and insisted the prescription was correct rather than acknowledging the lack of explanation or impact. I was shocked by his comments.
This was unprofessional and disrespectful. I won’t be returning and would not recommend OPSM or Kevin Han to anyone.

Opsm Cranbourne is a relatively small store with an excellent range of glasses and I was told by the staff member looking after me that the store at Chadstone had a much larger range if I couldn't find something. I like that it is a smaller store than the competition at Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre, the environment is calmer and more personal.… Read more
The service is excellent and the time from order to supply is quicker than the competition. I bought prescription transitional lens eye glasses and prescription sunglasses. As I am a RACV member there is 20% off the lenses and 50% off the second frames. This makes it price competitive with the competition. I highly recommend going to them.
My recent visit to OPSM in George Street Sydney was exceptional. My Optomitrist Helen Yin was fantastic as always and Donna who helped me to select two new pairs of glasses was also fantastic.
