SIMPLE & STRAIGHTFORWARD. We are here to help. We also know what we're doing and we want you be happy with the whole experience but particularly your new glasses. So apart from choosing your new frames which we wish to be involved in and guide you to the correct ones we won't offer you a confusing selection of different priced lenses.

We wish to provide what we feel is best for you and it takes away any uncertainty of having to make a wrong decision. It's also the reason that we price all the lenses in your needs the same. TRANSPARENT PRICES. Our prices include the lenses you require, have a look on the prices page. We put quality and service first but wish to be open about our prices.

In fact, I'm available anytime, my contact number is 07774979802. Examples of situations that often arise. You've never had a pair of glasses that you like or that fit you properly. Well that's right up my street, come and see me and let me try. I won't charge you fully unless you're happy. You would like a couple of pairs of new spectacles but you don't see any special offers.

I've bought wonderful Tiffany glasses from this opticians - their friendliness and professionalism is exceptional. A pleasure to visit. David is funny, warm and human. He treats customers with care and goes above and beyond. A far better experience than the chains.

Having noticed my eyesight had become blurred literally overnight, I arranged a test with David Grimes Opticians after reading the reviews on here. I'm so glad I did! The whole experience was faultless with very friendly staff in a beautiful shop. Everything was explained each step of the testing process which I found quite fascinating. It turned out that my eyesight wasn't as bad as I expected it was and that I only needed to wear my new glasses just to sharpen up my vision when I need it to be. I would completely agree with all the other reviews and I actually look forward (pardon the pun) to

My mother (79, just out of hospital, not mobile) had a problem with her old frames. Grimes immediately visited her door step, out of hours and repaired, without charge.

As a private optician he is very competitive and he goes the extra mile to give a first class service to all his customers. I am very grateful to him for dealing with my eye problem. His shop is accessible by bus from the depot and also from the
Car park at the Canterbury Towers. In this dreadful time we are in the private opticians need everyone's support. I

The optician is very kind and willing to help as much as he can.
I do think that mass producers of glasses may be a little cheaper if you're not picky. However, if you have anything special in mind, this is a place where the people will try to help you out and find a great solution for YOU specifically.
I was really surprised at the amout of time invested into finding just one pair of glasses - nowadays it's rare to find a business which cares about individual needs. Well, here is one. I do recommend David.

One of the best Opticians that I have had the pleasure of doing my glasses with, David and Shirley, go above and beyond to produce a fantastic master piece that you will never get at the major chains, and believe me I know something on these places mediocre jobs in the past! They turned a 15 years old frame like it’s a brand new out of the production line, I could not recommend them highly enough, Very happy customer 💯, A hidden Gem in Canterbury main shopping area 😎
