Need new glasses but worried about the cost?
Come and have a chat with Steve, Bowie, or Bracken at The Optical Shop in Waipapa!
We have a full optical lab facility and hundreds of glasses between $29 and $69.
You’ll save hundreds of dollars on new glasses WE PROMISE!
All single vision glasses we can do in just an hour – no more waiting!
And if you have a favourite pair but need new lenses, yes we do heaps of reglazing, it’s just $50.
Progressives from $90, sunglass tinting $50… we can do almost anything!
You do need to bring a copy of your prescription, however, if you don’t have this, if you have a pair of glasses already we can usually use our equipment to read the prescription from the lenses.
We also do a huge range of contact lenses! If you already wear them, bring in your box or lens blisters and we’ll compare them. Our lenses are typically around half price compared to most other retailers.
How do we have such low prices? We do all the lens fitting ourselves and we buy almost everything we sell directly from the manufacturers so we’re cutting out a LOT of cost that usually goes into a pair of glasses.
We’re at 2052 State Highway 10, Waipapa or call 0800 119 830

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
