A professional and friendly small practice, the attention is first rate. I was recommended by a friend who is a dispensing optician because they stock Silhouette frames which are no longer available at Vision Express. They are a bit more expensive but the expense is well worth it.

After chronically unsatisfied by my glasses from a high street shop, I decided to try Taank. What a revelation! The thorough eye exams by Anjana is reassuring followed by selection of frames aided by Leanne, pure professionalism. It's clear that Taank has excellent instruments and a great selection of frames but it's the way they treat the customers which really stands out. I feel my concerns and needs were listened to and the advises were customized to address my requirement.
While choosing frames, Leanne has been incredibly patient and knowledgeable about which frames could fit me. And she took the time to make sure that my frames fit on my face properly. In fact my overall customer experience is just impeccable, from pre-sale to post-sale. The Taank staff are courteous, responsive and not pushy (big thanks to everyone!). I am super pleased with my new glasses. I see well and they fit comfortably (finally) on me. I highly encourage you to give Taank a go especially if your previous optician experience is less than satisfactory.

After struggling for years with blurred vision, dry eye, eyestrain and migraines finally I decided to invest in me and try a more expensive option. The health of my eyes has improved substantially with Anjana expertise, professionalism and good care. She got my prescription spot on. If you can afford them, high quality glasses make a difference. My vision is clearer and and more accurate in almost all distances and sunlight intensities. The service at the practice is excellent and Leanne helped me choose frames and made sure I had suitable lenses for the perfect fit. Thanks Anjana, Leanne and Kate.

All set for my programming days and nights by the beach! I just got my beautiful prescription fashion regular and sun glasses by the hand of their awesome team! They will make sure your prescription is the best for you, and you wear it in just your best style. I really recommend them.

The best experience I have ever had buying new glasses. The team is friendly, thorough and very professional. It is great to have someone help you choose the correct frame for you and really make sure you are happy and that is suits your needs. I will definitely be using them again.
