Totally recommend Dr. Nasser.

We have recommended at least 7 people and they all loved their experience. My mom recommended of her friends who had eye problems for two years.

Super friendly and we always get a good deal. I won't go anywhere else!

I cannot believe the poor service I have just received from Bailey's on Robson by their staff and…read morethe services! I glasses one could not be fixed understand the second pair they would not fix it. Didn't even offer any help or any assistance or what I get done now I'm out two pairs of glasses. The only thing they offered me was a discount of 15% if I buy more, I paid top dollar for two pairs of glasses. that I cannot use I can't see. I've paid a lot of money for them and they won't even offer or any suggestions of what I could do except for go back spend more money. I do not recommend them. They offer nothing and the staff there was no help at all and now I have to go without glasses and I can't see. I'm gonna pick my own up never returning never gonna deal with that stuff bad service don't go.

I visited Bailey Nelson on West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano for an eye exam appointment, intending to…read moreget a pair of prescription sunglasses and potentially upgrade my current vision glasses. I arrived just past the scheduled time, and the receptionist took some time before acknowledging me. When he finally did, he informed me that I was 12 minutes late and that they have a strict 10-minute policy. I had made a special trip, paid for an hour of parking, and taken a break from work, only to be met with a lack of willingness to accommodate and assist. It was a disappointing experience and, frankly, the worst customer service I've encountered at a store. I'll be going back to Warby Parker.

After I ton of research, I found Durant. Literally the only place this side of the pond that carried these specific glasses. They happened to be part of last years collection, and are very difficult to find now. Long story short, called the store, and they were extremely helpful. Sent out my glasses the same day. I received the glasses a few days later, along with a nicely presented invoice. Very expensive glasses, but very worth it. I will definitely be using Durant again.

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.

Heidi and Aasa were exceptionally helpful - taking care of our needs and going above and beyond with helping me for my issues.

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.

This place is as good as it gets, and it lives up to all the excellent reviews it receives…read more I decided to try A&P Optical based solely on all the positive things I'd read on Yelp ; plus it was so close to where I work. I really didn't have more than a vague idea of what I was looking for when I walked in. I was helped by the owner herself, who was extremely patient with me while helping me look through and try on countless pairs of frames. It's not everyday you get serviced by the person most passionate about the business! She was very candid about what she thought looked good and what didn't, which I appreciated.  After about twenty minutes of trial and error, I finally zeroed in on a pair of frames I love. I also bought a separate pair of reading glasses, which I am also extremely happy with. My glasses arrived about three days earlier than promised, and when I picked them up, they spent a good deal of time making sure the fit was exactly right.  The people there truly care about customer satisfaction! As other reviewers have commented, this place isn't cheap. They carry mid to high end brands and it has much better service and price than you'll find at a mall; you can go to Costco and get glasses for about half the price. What you will not get if you go elsewhere is the attention to detail, the selection, and the patience from the staff while you try on your next pair of shades at A&P Optical. Do yourself a huge favor and buy your next pair of glasses there.

They offered a special deal to get glasses and frames but it was a little out of my budget. Called today because one of my eyes hurt and I wanted to see if they could get a quick look at my eye. Although they said no because they weren't equipped to do it, they stayed on the phone with me for 4 minutes talking through the different options I can take (ER or optometrist) and referred me to a close-by optometrist. It's a truly a rarity to find people this kindhearted and I'm really grateful for my good experiences with the shop!
