I was recently in Winnipeg and accidentally sat on my reading glasses. I was due for another pair…read moreanyways but didn't know where to go. I texted a friend who highly recommended this new shop called nv. I haven't heard of many of the brands they carry which was great - the styles were anything from conservative to way out there funky. I found something in between. Definitely something for everyone here and yet very unique from the typical shop. Attentive, informative staff helped throughout my visit. Highly recommend. Adding to my previous post, we recently received two new pair of glasses that we ordered from Toronto. Just like in-store the service was spectacular. We spoke to Victor who is one of the owners and he coordinated with the other owner Nadine to make sure the prescription was correct. It was fast and efficient and we got a style that was hard to find (and more expensive!) in Toronto. Wish this shop was closer to us but with this type of service even if we can't be there we'll order again.

I have seen Dr. Langan on several occasions over the years. He is very professional and kind. He…read morehas always treated me very well and I will continue to see him til his retirement, I suspect. He made sure I had regular appointments monitoring my eyes because of a drug I was taking for arthritis. Now, I continue to see him to follow the progression of cataracts . He will refer me to a surgeon when the time arrives for new lenses. If you are looking for a kind Professional to look after you, Dr. Langan is the man.

I needed to replace my glasses as mine were trashed beyond repair. I made an appointment to pick…read moreout frames, showed up on time and waited for 30 minutes in a less than busy office. THIS was WITH an appointment, I asked if I got the time wrong and was taken care of immediately. Eyewear promised in 7-10 days, it took about 7, thumbs up there. I called when they arrived and was told I can't get in to pick them up for another week. Last time I will ever shop there! It's too bad because the optometrist was awesome.

I'm 18 now, but when I was 5 years old, a classmate had kicked my eye causing me to squint in class…read moreand teacher sent a letter to my mom saying I might have vision problems. I had perfect eyesight but didn't know my alphabet and my speaking skills and comprehension wasn't good at that age. I finished the eye exam with the optometrist concludng that the 5-year old needed priscription glasses. I had no idea what glasses were or what they were meant to do at the time, but I was told to keep them on all the time so I did. As I grew, my eyes developed with the glasses, they grew to depend on them and even made my eye vision progressively detoriate with each year. I had to then get stronger and stronger glasses. Stuck wearing priscription glasses now, my biggest regret is not knowing what wearing glasses does when you dont need them. The worse part is knowing how much money your parents have spent on glasses for you over a lifetime... they're unbelievably expensive.

Called first thing on a Friday morning, and the lady that I spoke to, was extremely nice. I was…read moreable to book an appointment for that very afternoon, as I was concerned I had some kind of eye infection in both eyes. I got to my appointment, and the office staff was very good. Hence, at least the one star. Dr. Stephen Mazur was the optometrist that I was to see. He proceeded to conduct the exam (which wasn't needed, as I have had one within the past year), but that was fine, as I fairly recently needed to start using computer glasses, and told him as much. He asked how old I was, and I told him. He just nodded. He seemed quite professional. Once the exam was over, that is when the bedside manner changed. He proceeded to tell me that "because of my age" my eyesight wasn't as it was when I was younger. "Because of my age, my distance vision was starting to go", "I didn't need glasses for driving yet, but because of my age, I would in the not too distant future" He referred to "because of my age" a minimum of 7 or 8 times. He was just starting to write on his clipboard, and as he was doing so, he still hadn't addressed the real reason I went in in the first place. So I started to ask him about what I thought was an infection. He actually had the audacity to say "If I wouldn't interrupt him he would get to it" Then he proceeded to name a 3 word name of what I had. I couldn't understand the first word, but the second and third was "Gland Dysfunction" He then stated "I'll let you stew on that for a while". I replied back that If it sounds that bad, it wouldn't be as bad as it sounded. He then proceeded to state yet again, "because of my age.". He did quote a good explanation on what I had, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. He finished up, walked me to the reception area, gave me a sample of artificial tears and that was the end of it. Thank you to the staff who were nice. But even with that, and his bedside manor, I will not be returning.
