While visiting my folks, I noticed that my prescription glasses were slipping down my nose. It was really bothering me, and since we walk on Sherbrooke all the time and pass this optician's office frequently, my mom suggested we stop in, perhaps they could tighten the stems on my glasses.
We wandered inside and were blown away by all the eyeglass frames they had in here: most were cutting-edge modern. It was like a gallery or museum of contemporary eyeglass designs. We chatted with the lady who worked there and she explained that most glasses weren't even on display, that they had so many frames that most were stored in the drawers below the displays. Wow. SO MANY. And she showed us frames that were created by 3D printers, and others made with materials that were literally as light as a feather. The prices were crazy high but wow, the quality and selection of these frames were beyond comparison.
To top it off, the staff here were SO nice! They gladly tightened my glasses, even though the place was busy with customers, and despite the fact that I didn't buy my glasses there.
Great customer service.
My parents' optometrist and optician who was based in The Bay has closed up shop, so my parents are going to start coming here for their eye exams and eye glasses, based upon how friendly and knowledgeable this lady was with us last week, and because their selection and quality of frames is unbelievable read more
