This was, by far, the best experience I've had…read more Mount Pleasant Optometry is a facility that has such a beautiful, modern feel with such a friendly, welcoming staff. From start to finish, I felt all my questions were answered and had such a thorough exam and even had a seemless transition to the optical staff. The selection is extensive and was happily able to find multiple options for glasses as well as being able to provide the latest and greatest technology. Heidi and Aasa were exceptionally helpful - taking care of our needs and going above and beyond with helping me for my issues. They were so nice and knowledgeable and will be sure to tell everyone to come here! Overall, this is an office of genuinely helpful people who will take care of all your eyecare needs!

I've given up on accountability after 6 exhausting months of dealing with this place! I have…read moreSilhouette frames and after my eye exam, I ordered 4 sets of lenses for 4 frames. initially I ordered one pair, and before knowing that I was going to order add lenses, the optician who was dealing with me, told me that my newer frame wasn't good enough to use again. That was my cue to take my business elsewhere...but I didn't. Interestingly, when I ordered additional lenses and spending a lot more, those frames became usable again. I spent $3,300. on 4 sets of lenses. I'm happy with 1 pair, which thankfully are my daily glasses and the only pair that I ordered that had no changes to the shape or colour. The only pair that was exactly what I ordered. One out of four. I wanted an orange tint, but I got rose tinted instead. I ordered plain rectangle reading glasses, but got designer lenses and paid $300. more than I was quoted. I still don't know why! I asked the optician for a breakdown of my readers, I wanted to know why they cost that much more. I received an email with the invoices for my glasses with no explanation. I then asked the supervisor the same. I received more questions from her. I still have no idea why I paid $300. more for designer readers that I didn't order and don't like! But because they are readers that I grossly overpaid for, I'm leaving them as is. The rose tinted lenses and the sunglasses are not what I wanted and so I'll be spending another $2000. maybe less because this place is pricey, somewhere else to get what i want. No accountability, poor communication, pricey. They've lost 30+ years of my business and I can't in good conscience recommend spending your hard earned money here.

I had no clue that there was an OG level at Metrotown. I googled Metrotown Optometrist and I found…read moreReal Eyes Optometry. Booking is all done online. I liked how relax the place was. It was not overly crowded full of people and there were no double bookings etc. Walked in filled out the forms and gave my ID and I was pretty much ready to go. The test from beginning to end took about 45 mins. It was not bad. Dr. Pati was very professional. He explained everything very well and through. I will be back again. I told my family about this OG level and my mom told me to send her the phone number so she will make an appointment soon too.

I've been to this clinic a few times now and tried a few of the docs. Each time the eye appointment…read morewas extremely rushed and impersonal, no matter which doctor. Barely 15 minutes to do the eye exam including photos, no hellos, asking about your day or interest in getting to know you as a patient or your eye history, just quick in and out and then "that'll be $140 please". My previous optometrist would spend 45min-1hr testing my eyes with all types of gadgets, multiple acuity, lens and distance tests, and took the time to properly review results and explain things in detail. Unfortunately I moved into Vancouver so cannot visit him anymore due to distance. This place is rapid fire and just seems to churn through patients as quick as possible. Couldn't believe how fast the eye appointment and testing took, in and out within 15 minutes... how is that enough time to properly evaluate someone??? In my opinion, it's not. After a brief "exam", I was directed over to the eyewear section where one can buy frames and lenses, at what I consider to be VERY high prices. No thank you! Felt like a totally rushed and impersonal experience, and will NOT be returning ever again. I was just a number here, herded between multiple rooms, people and testing stations, way too fast. Never going back.

I would like to thank Dr. Breza for referring me to Dr. Stuart Smith for my cataract operations…read more Dr. Breza was I believe thorough in his examination and I have no hesitation to revisit him. However, I hope in future he will give me the prescription as is normally done, rather than guide me to the frame department of FYI. The same high praise cannot be given to the retail section of FYI. They selected a frame that did not fit, and when I returned to complain, the young Asian assistant after one effort said that is the way they are. Not good enough. If you enjoy phoning and being left on hold or being forced to cycle through the different phone options then FYI is for you. My last unpleasant experience was when someone phoned and left a message to phone them [number given], which I did. Did I get through? No. I got the same damn cycle of options. In future I'll find a smaller store for my glsses.

The assigned staff doesn't really multitask (handling multiple customers at same time) so you get their full attention during the visit. This high level of service is standard in Japan no matter where you shop (previous home) and almost nowhere in Vancouver would I get this level of service here except maybe at Mercedes. They follow Covid rules, everyone's temperature is taken, hand sanitizer is given. The shop is clean, well laid out, modern and spacious. Service is by appointment only due to Covid. The staff that looks after me is Ray. He is very patient and knowledgable when helping you choose frames and lenses, who knew there'd be so much to learn! This definitely helps me find the right pair of glasses more efficiently. I will definitely be recommending this store to friends and family.

I called a few weeks later because I wasn't sure if my contacts were 100% and they fit me in the same day and gave me a second trial pair of contacts and a special cleaning solution for free. They didn't make me feel high maintenance or like it was an inconvenience at all. They go above and beyond so I would highly recommend them!
