Posted on Google Ciara McCarthy05/09/2026 I chose to move to Eye Folk opticians as I wanted an independent opticians who would be able to give a personal service. I am so glad I did! Ann and all the team are so friendly and have been fantastic with my 3 year old who wears glasses. Both myself and my daughter have had great sessions finding glasses on a few occasions, and have been given great advice about lenses and frames. Each time my daughter's glasses have broken (toddler mishaps!) we have been given prompt service. We can't recommend them highly enough.Posted on Google Anna Urbanik05/08/2026 5 stars, but the Eye Folk Optician Team deserves more like 6/5!!! Ah yes, the classic "surprise Scotland trip test": husband forgets THE ONE suitcase with CONTACT LENSES!!!... I mean cosmetics, contacts, and his glasses. Cosmetics? Easy, just swipe his credit card. Contact lenses without a prescription in the UK? Apparently that's mission impossible -who knew??? The Eye Folk Optician Team, our unlikely marriage counsellors. On a Saturday afternoon (a SATURDAY, people!!!), they conjured up an appointment out of thin air, examined my husband's eyes, wrote a prescription, and handed us lenses!!!! Did they save our holiday? Yes. Did they save our marriage? …also yes, probably 😎Posted on Google Vicki12/05/2026 My sister visited this store and was very pleased, so she asked me to leave a review on her behalf. Lovely staff, extremely helpful when she had an urgent issue with her eye. Thank you againPosted on Google T Stanley17/04/2026 I was referred to Eye Folk by my GP to have an eye infection examined. They were able to see me the same day and their service was amazing. All the staff were so friendly and polite. The optician who saw me was brilliant. She was very thorough and careful, explained everything and what to do to help my problem. Thanks guys! If you want to look after your eyes, this would be a great place to start.Posted on Google Theresa Holt15/04/2026 Oh wow!!! After years of never being fully happy with my glasses from a standard opticians I used Eye Folk in folkestone and with the help of Ann I had a wonderful experience including having a colour assessment to see which colours work with my eye colour, hair and skin tone. There was almost too much choice of beautiful frames so choosing took some time and 3 of us. I couldn’t be happier with my frames and was so impressed with the service and quality I also chose prescription sunglasses too.Posted on Google Patricia Young11/04/2026 My learning disabled sister & I use EyeFolk Opticians & have done so for years, staff are especially very patient with my sisters needs & the atmosphere is always calm & relaxed. You never feel rushed or dismissed. Highly recommended 👍🏽Posted on Google Alexandra Roberts21/03/2026 Fantastic service. Really knowledgeable and put me at ease during the test. Choosing frames for the first time was a bit daunting but everyone chipped in to help and give me advice. Ended up going for a pair I wouldnt have expected and hage had lots of compliments since! Really confidence boosting. Thanks EyeFolk! 💯 recommend!Posted on Google Julie Kemp15/03/2026 The team at Eye Folk is fab. Always a very warm, thorough and helpful service. Ann brought over some frames that she thought I’d like from another branch and has been putting my faves aside while I took ages deliberating 🙈 Thank you!Posted on Google Charlotte Atwell14/03/2026 Lovely opticians, really friendly and helpful. I didn’t feel pressured or rushed when choosing my new frames 😊
