The Good Stuff
Fast repairs
Several reviewers report quick repairs, including one pair of glasses fixed in five minutes.
Free fixes
Simple glasses repairs, including a child’s repair, were completed without a fee in two reviews.
Frame range
Customers mention a wide selection, including a baby frame they could not find at another shop.
Urgent orders
One reviewer says the shop accommodated an urgent request and made the glasses available the next day.
Clear testing
A reviewer found the equipment more advanced and accurate at determining their eye weakness than other optical stores.
Lens warranty
One customer received a three-year warranty on Kristall lenses, something they had not found elsewhere.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask timing. If you need glasses urgently, ask whether next-day collection is possible; one request was completed on that basis.
Check repair fees. For a simple glasses fix, ask about the charge first; one reviewer’s repair was free.
Request explanations. During an eye test, ask the optometrist to explain each step; reviewers found this made the process easier to understand.
Allow buffer. If your order involves delivery, leave extra time rather than relying on the promised collection window.
Ask warranty. If you are comparing lenses, ask whether a warranty is included; one customer received three years on Kristall lenses.
RTA testing. The shop can handle an RTA eye test for licence renewal, which one reviewer described as smooth and hassle-free.

The Bottom Line
UAE Optics in Al Barsha is a practical stop for an eye test, new frames, contact lenses, sunglasses or a glasses repair. Reviews consistently describe the eye checks as professional and easy to follow, with explanations throughout the exam rather than a rushed prescription check. Repairs are a real strength.
One pair was fixed in five minutes, while two reviews describe simple repairs being completed free of charge. The shop also helped with a bent frame that four other optical stores could not repair, and one urgent order was ready the next day. If timing matters, confirm the collection plan before ordering: one customer reported waiting three hours for a driver after being told to come in the evening.
Frame choice is another reason to browse, including a baby frame one customer could not find elsewhere. Reviews also mention a smooth RTA eye test for licence renewal and equipment viewed as more accurate than that of other optical stores. A customer reported receiving a three-year warranty on Kristall lenses, so it is worth asking what warranty applies to your chosen lenses.
The overall picture is welcoming, attentive service, with several reviewers praising help in choosing frames without pressure. For a straightforward repair or carefully explained eye test, the reviews give UAE Optics a strong case.
