Try frames. Allow time to browse: reviews mention a fantastic frame selection and guidance through a wide range of frames.
Check sunglasses. For sunglasses, ask to see the available Rayban options; one repeat customer specifically mentions many choices.

The Bottom Line
Aster Opticals at Al Ghurair Centre in Deira is geared towards practical eyewear needs: customers come for eye examinations, prescription glasses, Rayban sunglasses and RTA eye tests. The reviews are especially useful for anyone who wants help making a choice rather than simply picking up a frame. Customers describe thorough examinations, clear explanations of eye power and guidance through a broad frame selection.
Driving-licence renewals are a notable convenience. One reviewer says the eye test and licence renewal were completed in under 10 minutes, while another calls the branch a convenient “one stop hop” for RTA renewal. Service is generally described as friendly, patient and efficient, although one review reports that staff were not ready to assist, so the experience may vary.
If you need new lenses, ask about the differences between regular and progressive lenses; one customer appreciated having the options explained at length. Rayban sunglasses are also a recurring mention, with a repeat visitor returning for new pairs and another review noting many choices. A small but useful detail: one customer says their glasses were fixed without payment.
There are no clear customer-reported prices in the supplied reviews, so confirm current costs and turnaround time before ordering.
