I had an eye irritation but I did not want to go to a walk-in clinic. I needed someone who has the…read moreequipment to look into my eye for foreign materials and scratches. I did not need emergency help. I was able to get an appointment on the same day. The receptionist was quick to tell me it would be $125 for full Eye exam.I thought it was strange because I wasn't there for eye glasses. I went anyway because I needed to see a professional. when I got there the receptionist and office manager were very nice. they asked me to take a seat. I was seen immediately. the office manager was able to figure out that I did not need a full eye exam. I think her name is Lisa. I saw Dr. Warren and she gave me a reading test, used yellow drops to see if I had any eye scratches or damage. Nothing was found except for dryness in one area of one eye. I got eye drops from the doctor and was sent home. The solution to my problem was simple but it was nice knowing that there was nothing inside my eye that could cause me long-term damage. Visit cost me $45 in the end.

I love that the rest of the staff let me take as long as I wanted to try out frames. Dealing with the front staff was a breeze and my claim was done in a professional friendly manner My appointment was done on time both pre and during Covid times.

I went to this doctor complaining of vision loss on the top part of my eye. I was told my eye was…read morefine. The vision loss continued to move down. Once again I visited the office and was told there was nothing wrong. Knowing obviously that this was not normal, I went to another eye doctor in Barrie and was told the retina had become detached. He sent me to emergency to see the eye specialist on duty. He confirmed my retina had become detached but it was no longer an emergency as it had now gone too far and too long. Had either of the two doctors that I had seen in this office been able to detect a detached retina or offered to refer me to someone who was able, I am told that I would have had a good chance of retaining my 20 20 vision in that eye. After three surgeries, I am left with very poor vision in my left eye. Very disappointed in this office.

Yes they have name brand but they are 95% all defective and will not last you past a year. They do this because the warranty is up in a year.

Considering the price tags you would think you are buying quality but it's all the same crap. Stick to Costco or other places virtually the same frames made from the same plastic.

Their selection was very impressive -- kids, men's, women's and sunglasses. Their salespeople were very visible, friendly, helpful, but not pushy. I chose my glasses frames and the sales staff helped me chose a pair of prescription sunglasses (certain frames would not work with my prescription). They gave me full information on my lens options and were upfront and honest about prices and what works and what doesn't. They even offered to call my benefits provider to inquire about vision coverage for me. The glasses took about 1.5 weeks to come in and I'm very happy with the results. The optician made sure the glasses fit properly and that I was happy with the glasses. They also told me that if I had any problems that all I had to do was stop in for a free adjustment. Great products, great opticians, great experience overall!
