Stumbled upon this place on my way back from brunch and decided to inquire about getting new glasses. Jonathan was super helpful and told me that as soon as I sent him a photo of my prescription, he could have a new pair of glasses for me within an hour or so and at a fraction of other eyewear/opticians. Plus, they had beautiful brand name frames which I decided to go with because my last no name brand $8 frames did not last long. I came back a couple hours later, Jonathan adjusted my new glasses for me and I walked out of there with a new pair of Ray Bans :)

I really do like this clinic. The twist to it is that students perform the exam! Now, no worries,…read morethey are in their final year of their Masters degree, so don't fear having a hipster undergrad diagnosing you, things are fairly serious. I have always had very thorough exams here, regardless of the student in charge. Of course, they always check with their supervising doctor before prescribing your lenses or glasses. While that is reassuring and quite normal, it can lengthen the consultation time a bit. Their waiting times can be downright astounding, as per usual make sure to call a month in advance for anything. A little cold calling doesn't hurt tough and I have scored an appointment for the very same day (once). Their telephone consumer service is pretty hit-or-miss tough, fingers crossed! The prices on the frames and glasses are alright and you get a 15% discount if you're a student! Should you choose to have your glasses made on site, you can wait in their spacious lobby (or go to the library nearby, shop at American Apparel ..) and leave an hour later with your new goggles! Their selection is quite good, they have a little bit of everything for everyone, from classic frames to high-end brands, hipster spectacles and downright weird stuff. For the times when crap happens, just drop in and they'll do their best to help you: at some point my mom even got her frame welded there. This is definitely a place where your bespectacled self can feel right at home!

À éviter absolument !…read more Ma mère, âgée de 87 ans, s'est rendue sur place pour un examen et devait faire remplacer ses lentilles. On lui a demandé de payer la moitié des frais à l'avance, ce qu'elle a fait. Ensuite, silence total : aucun appel pour nous informer que les lentilles étaient prêtes. Après deux semaines sans nouvelles, j'ai dû appeler moi-même après avoir constaté une facturation sur sa carte de crédit. Lors de cet appel, une employée nommée Aneila n'a pas su donner d'explication satisfaisante sur l'absence de suivi. On m'a finalement dit que les lentilles étaient arrivées... la veille, sans que personne ne prenne la peine de nous prévenir. J'ai alors demandé s'ils tentaient de profiter d'une personne âgée. Une autre employée, Christina, nous a demandé de venir pour installer les lentilles. Le lendemain, nous nous sommes présentés sur place avec les lentilles, et le directeur, Tony, nous a assistés. Ma mère, frustrée par la situation, a exprimé son mécontentement face au manque de communication. Leur seule excuse : ils auraient essayé d'appeler, mais personne ne répondait ou ils appelaient " trop souvent ". C'est difficile à croire, puisque nous disposons tous de boîtes vocales. Ce genre de service client est tout simplement inacceptable.............

Phillippe Rochette is a man on a mission. He wants eye-wear and glasses to be affordable to all,…read moreregardless of income bracket. When he noticed that the poor and lower income families who quite often need vision correction but can't afford glasses, go without, he decided to change all that by providing dirt-cheap eye exams and eye glasses for no more than $70. He can keep costs so low because he buys frames in bulk from a Chinese manufacturer - the same manufacturer that makes high-end labels like Gucci and Ralph Lauren. For people on welfare, social assistance, the elderly on limited incomes and children, eye exams are free and glasses are no more than $20 and for every purchase made, $10 goes straight to any number of charities listed on his website. You can also get insurance receipts. His motto is "Honesty. Simplicity. Solidarity". He thinks most optometrists in the city are ripping off consumers and selling glasses at inflated prices. I heard about Philippe Rochette on a CBC radio documentary and when I recently needed new glasses, I remembered this story and decided to try this out. I got my eye exam done somewhere else and armed with my prescription, went to one of the 45 weekly local eye clinics Bonhomme A Lunettes conducts at charities and community centers around the City of Montreal, Lanaudiere, Monteregie and the Eastern Townships (I went to the one in Verdun, my neighborhood). Because it's a traveling clinic, you won't get a wall of frames to choose from but rather, suitcases come out and you're shown various models and honestly, they were no different from what you would see at any other high-end eyeglass wear shops in town. I gave them my prescription and my glasses were ready the next week. I saved $200 on new eye-glasses plus they come with a one year guarantee. Seriously, this is a great economic model the political left could use and falls in line with anarchist principles while also creating social capital. That's way cool in my book.

A young lady called Catherine was most accommodating, pleasant and helpful as she took her time to satisfy me needs. She must have shown me thirty pairs of frames, before I chose two of them.

When I picked my glasses, some time later in Verdun clinic, another young lady Julie, was just as good, pleasant and helpful. She took time to adjust my new glasses and to explain everything concerning any possible further adjustments. I love my new fashionable glasses and yes, they were a half price to what they would be elsewhere. More power to Mr. Rochette and his lovely staff.
