If you’ve landed on our website chances are you’re wondering where is the best opticians for YOU and your individual requirements. Here at Taylor & Toal we try to make it easy by letting you know what you can expect should you decide to come and see us.
Gary graduated from Ulster University in 2003, completing his training in Essex County Hospital in Colchester. On completion of his Professional Exams in 2004, Gary became a member of the College of Optometrists.
In July 2005 he returned closer to home and worked for the leading Laser Eye Surgery clinic in Dublin, where he met his wife, Denise.
Taylor & Toal Opticians opened in Antrim on 1 November 2006 and Gary along with his team has been helping clients look good and feel good in their glasses ever since!
Outside of work Gary is kept busy by his two girls, Eden and Quinn and you may just find him gracing the courts of Windsor Tennis Club in Belfast one or two nights a week 😉!
If you are looking for something different than what you find on the high street, then these frames are for you. Here you’ll discover a new world of eyewear and choose a pair of glasses from a selection not seen elsewhere.
Each season we travel to places like Paris, Milan & Munich in search of the world’s finest eyewear. We have relationships with the most admired and respected eyewear designers in the industry. Niche, independent eyewear companies who produce different and exclusive eyewear.
They are of the highest quality. Handmade. Frames that only people in the know have heard of. And they are hard to find: only a handful of the UK’s most progressive opticians carry these collections.
Whether for everyday wear, or for special occasions, these are glasses with that individual feel, yours alone, not worn by the crowds.
Choosing glasses can be difficult and frustrating and feel like you’re trying to find a needle in a haystack. You’ll be glad to know there is a more sophisticated and effective way to select the right glasses than trying on frames at random.
Our unique ‘Eyewear Styling Consultation’ is designed to make your search for new eyewear an effortless and enjoyable experience.
We have a superb choice of the world’s most appealing eyewear with over 900 styles in stock to choose from. BUT, we’re not a scratch-your-head and browse around kind of place.
Our unique ‘Eyewear Styling Consultation’ will save you time and hassle. You will find out definitively which frame styles will suit your face shape. It will make your decision on new eyewear easier and give you confidence in what you choose.
The consultation is an opportunity to discover the right style of eyewear for you in a no-pressure, relaxed environment with the help of an eyewear expert.
Our ‘Eyewear Styling Consultation’ will transform how you feel about your eyewear.
At Taylor & Toal Opticians, we’re your flexible friend! We never leave you with a simple “take it or leave it” option. We will always give you several frames and lenses options and guidance as to what will work best for you.
When it comes to choices about how much you want to invest in your eyewear, we can offer to spread the payments over anything from 3 to 6 months. With no hidden extra costs. With no hassle. We want to help you get the glasses that you want and that are best for you without compromise or delay. Ask a member of the team about our flexible payment options.
Personal service is a rare thing nowadays but at Taylor And Toal Opticians that is what we specialise in. (Read our reviews to hear what new clients say!)
If you’re reading this, you’re probably the kind of person who doesn’t want to be treated like you’re just a number. I fall into this category myself.
Let me first say that you are welcome to pop in. We are a small team of friendly, welcoming, real people. You can call us and have a conversation about what you need. You can come in and have a look around. We’re actually in an old bank which is a striking building – but you’ll love the environment it creates – luxurious and grand. We can give you a overview of our frame styles and answer any questions you may have.
But to give you the best service, we do things a bit differently. And there are some things you should know before you come in.
We work like any professional service and offer you an appointment-based service for your convenience and so we can spend the necessary time with you to get it right.
The unique environment we’ve created for clients means if you just pop in you’ll be able to get a sneak preview of the frames. But to do it properly, to show you the full collection and range of styles, and to give you the benefit our industry-knowledge and professional advice, it’s best to schedule an appointment. There is no charge for your initial eyewear styling consultation. And there is no sales pressure or obligation to buy anything.
By all means pop in to see us if that’s what you prefer, but if you want to maximise your time and get a truly personalised service take advantage of the free consultation.
Every face and person is different. During your initial complimentary styling consultation, we will show you all the options and all the eyewear possibilities that fit your face, your prescription, your personal style and your budget.
Including frames from Anne et Valentin, JF Rey, ProDesign Denmark, Etnia Barcelona, Silhouette and many more.
We have a large choice of mens glasses to fit the man who requires a wider bridge fitting, a longer temple length or a wider frame width.
We have a great selection of prescription glasses and frames for women who require a petit frame size.
Choice of styles include designer glasses, vintage glasses, fashionable glasses and rimless glasses. Whether you want something minimal or whether you want to make a statement with your eyewear we will show you lots of possibilities.
With your lenses, each type of lens can have pros and cons, which we share with you. We simply educate you on your options so you feel comfortable with your choice and can make an informed decision.
At Taylor & Toal Opticians we stand by the advice and recommendations we give you. Our reputation is in full public view, front and centre on your nose! Our 30-Day “Love Your Glasses” Guarantee means that you can’t make a mistake with your eyewear.
If, for any reason, you are not 100% happy with the fit and comfort of your new glasses, or if you have any visual discomfort from the lenses, within 30-days of collecting your new glasses, you can choose an alternative frame and/or lenses that will be more comfortable for you. All at no charge. We guarantee that you’ll love your glasses!
Real people, real eyewear, real feedback. There’s nothing like a real review or testimonial to let you know what you can expect from a business. If you’re new to the world of wearing glasses, if you’re looking to invest a little bit more money in your eyewear, or if you’ve had problems with your glasses or optician in the past, you’ll want to hear from people just like you and hear about their experience at Taylor & Toal Opticians. All of our reviews are genuine, there’s no “fake news” here, so you can be confident that what you’re reading is a genuine reflection of each client’s experience at Taylor & Toal.
