    AVOID THIS LOCATION FOR EYE WEAR…read more My optician, Maggie La, was amazing, answered all my questions, took the time to answer all of my questions, and gave me a prescription that is working. However, my experience with the front counter staff was painful. Let's start with the girl who performed the testing prior to seeing my optician struggled, tests had to be redone, and one test could not be completed, as the girl forgot to close out my file on one machine, before moving to another machine, and had to get help. This lack of understanding of the process in testing a patient was concerning. The same girl took my Walmart readers off the table, and tested them, without asking, treating them as if they were my current pair of glasses. I had to ask her to not use them for anything related to the testing being completed. I felt that the staff that were on site were unprepared to fit me for new frames and lenses, so I left and returned during the week, hoping to work with a more experienced and professional person. When I returned and selected frames and placed my order, there was no expectation of timelines for lenses and glasses to be prepared. After waiting almost 2 weeks with no reply, I called to ask where the glasses were and when they would be ready, and what my options were. When I came to pick up my glasses, the girl at the front counter could not answer simple questions relating to the glasses, what my satisfaction period is. All I got was a blank star and several shrugs, it was like the girl did not understand my question, or know the answer. I had to ask to speak with someone else, and spoke with who I believe was Alexis, based on the name on my receipt. During pick-up there was no check on fitment, just a cursory check as to how vision is with the glasses. No check of fitment, nothing as I picked up the glasses and case and left. I now am experiencing fitment issues with the glasses, they are sliding down my face and sitting lopsided, needing constant adjustment every 10-15 minutes of wear. My last question is can I go to any other Beyond Vision locations for adjustment, as I have low confidence in the staff at Oxford? April 25th Response from Alexis Dumoulin: I'm so sorry you felt your experience was not up to par, as our goal is to provide exceptional customer service. I understand it can be frustrating, especially when we do have students who are learning. We thank you for your patience and understanding with our students through this process. We will make sure to address your concerns on this. New glasses can need a couple adjustments until they fit perfect. If you would like to come see me specifically, I'd be more than happy to take care of this for you. I am a licensed optician and have been in the industry for over 10 years. Alternatively, I can book you an appointment for adjustments with our general manager at Oxford when she is in the clinic next. Thank you again for reaching out and these concerns will be addressed. Please feel free to reach out to me directly. On May 4, I replied to Alexis: HI Alexis, I would like to come in on Friday or Saturday, May 8 or 9 this coming week for an adjustment, and a review of options as the prescription is not meeting my needs. No response, 100% total ghosting from Alexis.

    Everyone from front desk to the dr was very friendly , knowledgeable and quick. Always a good…read moreexperience with kids

They Fill prescriptions accordingly but send to a lab so you may wait a week. They will fix any errors. Some frames are very cheap though and break or the paint chips off easily so be picky.

I would rate Second Specs 3.5 stars. There are great advantages to get glasses here; reasonable price, direct billing to insurance companies, and quick service. But I found the quality of my product wasn't as good as other opticals I have purchased glasses at. I stumbled upon it as I was walking in the mall and was looking for new glasses. They are a local company with 2 locations in West Edmonton Mall and recently opened up shop in Cross Iron Mills just outside of Calgary. The frames are around the kiosk and most available to try on unless you are looking at the brand name ones they carry. They carry Ray Ban, Nike, and others but the selection isn't as big as at other opticals. There is a colour variety and I found a number of purple frames to try on. Most of the frames I noticed were plastic. Once I picked out the frames I wanted, I had to wait for service. I have noticed that they can get busy and with typically 2 staff working, there could be a wait. I provided my prescription and they did they measurements and adjustments to the frames. I paid the $308 for my glasses which was a lot cheaper than other places where the price is at least double. Two days later I was in the mall and decided to ask if my glasses were in and was told they would be ready in about an hour or two. I went back to pick them up about an hour later and they were adjusted and on my way! When I got home, I noticed a few things about my glasses. There was some glue on the arm of the frame, and lenses, and some screws were dark and some light. That evening, one of the nose pads fell off! (Which has never happened with any of my glasses). I was able to find the screw after squinting looking for it on the bathroom floor and put it back in with my glasses repair kit. Since the first day, I had to tighten a screw to keep the arm in place once but hope the problem is fixed. Without these problems, this review would be 4. They likely didn't do a thorough check on my glasses to clean the glue off and ensure the screws were tight as they wanted to get them to me promptly. Two days for glasses, is a quick turnaround time. The opticians are friendly if you don't mind you may have to wait for service. Price is great for those who don't have coverage, need glasses for children, or want a few pairs. I also wear contacts so it worked out to get glasses from here.

I was quite impressed with the overall service and the friendly nature of the staff. Very conveniently located and that was another great reason for me to come here. They sell a large variety of eyeglasses and frames. Most people think that they only have expensive frames, but they do keep cheaper frames that are of decent quality. However, I will admit that if you're not looking for an expensive brand of eye frames or sunglasses, there are probably other places that have more variety in the below $200 range. Another thing that I liked was that after getting my frames made (which was around August of last year), I received a 30% discount coupon as a New Year's gift in my mail. I had to use it by the 31st of March, I think .. and didn't end up using it, but that was pretty cool!

They do have a good selection of Sunglasses but I didn't like any of them. I found most of the styles being almost too stylish. I enjoy simple styles, a bit vintage. The glasses I found here seemed like they would be in for this summer but would quickly fade and seem cheesy after a while. Not a bad place but I have seen better.
