Ken & Joan Anderson

Our first contact was to repair a small problem with glasses supplied by a large chain of opticians.  This was carried out in a very efficient and gracious manner.  The same applied to our grandson, visiting from England, where he had a similar problem.  This therefore led us to being regular and very satisfied customers.

A working and understandable relationship can be built up when dealing with the same person on each visit.  This enables any potential sight problems to be diagnosed and treated appropriately.

There is a wide range of glasses frames to chose from and knowledgeable and well trained staff to help make the right choice.

We highly recommend Gary and his staff.

I like that Taylor & Toal Opticians an independent practice, and you always get to see the owner, Gary when you attend and not someone you don’t know or have never met before.  I value the friendship and rapport I have built up with Gary since he opened his practice in Antrim.  It is always a pleasure to call in with him and his staff.

I love my recent glasses, the blue colour of the frame is a little funky, but not too whacky for a vicar.  It is very pleasant to receive positive comments about the frames and many people have also made comments about my photos.

I would recommend Taylor & Toal  to anyone who wants to have a good thorough eye check in pleasant surroundings with a great selection of frames.

I was recommended Taylor & Toal by a family member.  I found Gary to be very professional and patient, as picking frames was very difficult as I liked so many of them.  Eventually settling on aframe that is very comfortable and suits me and I have had many compliments about them.

I find their Zeiss lenses excellent quality and have recently upgraded my sunglasses with them.

You will not be disappointed when you visit Taylor & Toal.

Taylor & Toal are the best and this is why I have been with them for several years.  Their range of glasses is fantastic and if they haven’t got what you want, they will get them.  My wife Beth, her glasses came from Barcelona, you cant do better than that.

Taylor & Toal are more professional, their dedication is second to none, and they are more concerned about your eyes than getting money out of you.

Gary is the best optician ever, he really cares about you.  I recently got two pairs of glasses and one of them is for my computer screen and Gary made them to the exact distance from my chair to the screens.  That’s what I call going the extra mile!

Definitely 5 Stars from me.

I got a some recommendations to try Taylor & Toal and these proved truthful.  My experience here has been great and that is why I have never tried anywhere else.

Many thanks for your ongoing care and detailed examination (You just diagnosed me with a cataract which I will undergo surgery for soon).

This is the best optician that I have ever been to and I have been to opticians on both sides of the Atlantic. I purchased two pairs of glasses and the fit and quality is outstanding. The service is even more outstanding-it was raining and they were kind enough to even give me an umbrella to ensure I did not get soaked going home! They provided updates on all stages of my glasses being made and let me know when they were ready by text and provided a proper fitting when I picked them up. The service of Gary and his staff and the quality of the eyeglasses simply is the best and I would gladly recommend Taylor and Toal to all of my friends and family.

Taylor & Toal was recommended to me by one of their first customers,  From my initial visit I was very impressed with the welcome and professionalism from all staff.  The service was efficient and Gary spotted the potential for problems in one eye at my first visit.  He immediately referred me to the appropriate department which prevented a chronic problem arising.

There are a wide selection of frames in bright and uplifting premises.  I like the personal service from each of the staff and I would heartily recommend Taylor & Toal.

Paid my first visit to Gary and Emma a couple of weeks ago as I had quite a lot of blood around an eye. So decided to give Taylor & Toal a try as my last Pair were from Specsavers and I didn’t really wear them as often as I should have. (cheap isn’t really the best). After an eye test Gary put me well at ease. A follow up appointment was made, and after discussing my lack of use of varifocals. Gary suggested that reading glasses would be more suitable for my needs.
Emma helped to pick a suitable frame. Now in less than a week I am wearing my new glasses.
Gary could easily have persuaded me to go along the Varifocal route. I came away pleased with the service and lack of pushy sales talk.
Thanks for the honest and fast service Gary and Emma.

We, as a family, have been using Taylor & Toal for a few years now. Gary is very thorough and the girls are great at helping choose frames. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. In fact, my daughter had a migraine recently and couldn’t see. Gary very quickly fitted her in to check everything was ok. Furthermore, he called me on the Saturday morning to check on her progress. That type of service and care is exceptional, I’d say you’d struggle to find that from a chain!

Excellent Opician and very friendly service. I think we all need to be more aware that Opticians are not only for routine eye tests but offer a vital service for any eye issues. They should be your first port of call with eye infections/problems as they actually look into your eyes and diagnose what is going on!! I struggled for a week before seeing Mr Toal, he straight away diagnosed Iritis and sent me to Royal Eye Clinic for treatment. Can’t thank him enough.
