Tips for a Better Visit
Ask for RTA. For a driving-licence renewal, ask specifically for the RTA eye test; reviewers report it can take only minutes.
Compare Options. If you are undecided, ask to compare several frames and lens options; one customer was not rushed through the choice.
Mention Screens. For a child’s eye test, mention daily screen use so the advice can be tailored to that routine.
Check Availability. If you need contact lenses, ask whether an unavailable product can be arranged as an order.
Ask About Cover. Before choosing frames or lenses, ask how your insurance policy applies; a reviewer received help understanding the cover.

The Bottom Line
Gulf Optic at Century Mall is an optical shop in Al Mamzar where you can have your eyes tested, choose prescription frames and lenses, or browse sunglasses. The clearest strength in the reviews is efficient service for driving-related checks: several customers describe RTA eye tests taking less than a minute or around two minutes, making the shop useful for a licence renewal when time matters. For eyewear, the selection sounds broad rather than narrowly focused.
Customers mention stylish eyeglass frames, a good range of frames and lenses, and an especially strong sunglasses collection. One detailed review says the team helped compare many combinations without rushing the decision, while another describes advice tailored to a child’s daily screen use. Contact-lens orders can also be arranged when a product is not immediately available.
Pricing is repeatedly described as reasonable, and one customer specifically reported good frames and lenses at a very reasonable price. Reviews also mention discounts and insurance support, so it is worth asking what applies before choosing. The store itself has been described as clean, bright and welcoming.
Overall, this looks most useful for shoppers who want practical guidance and a quick eye test, rather than simply picking up glasses without assistance.
