There are many optical shops at Pacific Mall, but after visiting a few ones, I decided to go with…read moreGlobal Optic. Although they didn't offer the cheapest price, I felt more comfortable with them because they were not pushy and sounded pretty honest. They carried many good brands and styles in different price ranges. We ended up both glasses for two of my family members and the glasses are still working fine after 2 years. Service was quick and they offered same day service if you order before noon time.

I've purchased my last 3 pairs of glasses from Global as it seems they have a wider selection of…read moremen's frames and particularly the OGA brand which I have had for the past 3 pairs I've purchased. In my many years or purchasing glasses I've never found a brand that is more comfortable and frames that are as durable as OGA. The current pair I'm wearing now are 4 years old and they could probably last another 4 or more. My prescription hasn't changed that much but it has changed slightly enough for me to get another pair. My last pair from here were sunglasses and the pair before where had Transitions ver 6. Pricing here is a little funny. The frames have price tags on them but the price you are quoted always is less than the "ticket" price. I paid for my pair upfront so I can get my receipt immediately and submit it for my benefit reimbursement. Since I've bought my last 3 pairs here I know I can trust them and that things will be just right. They had my measurements from last time so they didn't need to remeasure this time as my measurements were already stored on their computer system. I was in and out pretty quick which was good because I had somewhere to be right afterwards. With Transitions lenses they have to send them out to a lab which takes about a week which is fine because I have errands to run on the east end next weekend anyway.

They were very patient considering we came in at almost closing time. My family loved the sunglasses we picked out. I would definitely come back here for my frames and lenses!

This place is open during lockdown but by appointment only!…read moreI was referred to this place by a friend and got an appointment here for prescription sunglasses. They have a good selection of glasses and sunglasses (high end to medium range brands). During my appointment, no one else was in the store except me, my partner and the two staff. Apollo limits the number of people and appointments in each time slot. They made me feel super safe! The staff was very helpful in making suggestions on glasses for me to try on based on my face shape and my description of what I was looking for. With their help, I was quickly able to find a pair that I loved and completed my appointment with a purchase in record time. Thank you Apollo optical for the wonderful experience and service!

The optometrist is amazing: she did a full and professional eye exam, she took her time with a very caring approach and explained me everything she was doing.

They got many models and famous brand and some frames are even as low as 200$. I highly recommend this place!

We don't write this review lightly as we were regular customers of See and Be Seen.  We have always…read moretrusted them with our daughter's glasses since she was in Grade 2 (now 6).  Their service had always been great helping our daughter pick out glasses that suited her and making sure she felt comfortable in what she was wearing.  The price point was always higher than what we wanted to pay but we didn't let that bother us cause she would be a glasses/contact wearer the rest of her life so we wanted to make sure she was somewhere that made her comfortable. Unfortunately our recent experience is one that will ensure was our last visit to this establishment.  Our daughter, for the first time, snapped her glasses in half at the bridge.  We rushed to See and Be Seen Liberty Village to sort out a new pair for her.  They fit her quickly with a new pair of glasses for almost $900 and told us that they would typically be ready in 7-10 days but that they would put a rush on it so hopefully it would arrive earlier.  Seven days later we reached out to the store to find out if they would be arriving soon only to be told that they were still in the lab.  We were assured that someone at See and Be Seen would follow up with the lab because there was a rush on the order and provide us an update but worst case it would arrive early the following week.  We never heard back. On day 11 (early the following week) we still had not heard anything about the glasses so we decided to follow up.  Again we were told the order was still with the lab and there was no update.  This is when we realized no one had originally done the follow up.  At this point we escalated the issue and were told that they would follow up with the lab to ensure there is a rush on the order and get an estimate on when they would be delivered.  We requested a refund and was told the Director would need to address this.    When speaking with the Director we were told no refund could be done as the lenses had already been ordered and that the original timeline was 7-10 business days but could be as long as 10-14 business days.  We reiterated what we were told in store but was told repeatedly that would be impossible as their staff are all trained on business days. We asked to speak to the owner of the store and to this day have not heard back from them.  Our biggest issue is the lack of accountability from all parties involved.  My wife, daughter and I all heard 7-10 days but apparently that would be entirely impossible from their perspective.  To top this all off their best advice was for us to buy another pair of glasses (with a free lenses offer) for situations like this.  I'm not sure how many people can afford a $500 pair of glasses as a back up.  We finally received the glasses on day 13 after they had finally followed up with the lab.  I'm sure other people have had great experiences with them as we also had in the past.  But this last experience has certainly been the most ridiculous for us and will be the last time we purchase from this establishment.

Great for any small tweaks you may need done on your eye glasses, as they will usually do it right there and then for you while you wait. The store is quite small, which means very cramped waiting areas if there's a few people in there at once, and also means a relatively small selection of frames on display to choose from. They do have a decent selection for the space that's available, but just keep in mind you're not going to find the same selection you would at a bigger store.
