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.

The SA said depending on stock, they can have my glasses ready within 10-15 minutes. I'm not really that picky, but I did have a budget because I was using my benefits.

All in all, I was in and out in about 35 minutes, and my glasses fit me perfectly.

Eye Candy Opticians is a trendy eyewear boutique recently opened (today in fact!) in Toronto's…read moreBeach neighbourhood. The philosophy of the business is simple: treat your eyes. They stock a wide variety of frames from brands like Burberry and Armani, to Denmark's popular ProDesign and the UK's FYSH Urban Kool Eyewear, and enough sunglasses to make Hollywood's A-listers swoon. The opticians work personally with each customer to find the right shape and style for each unique individual. Eye health is of utmost importance, and they can arrange appointments with an optometrist for eye exams and accurate prescriptions for those who need them. Building on their boutique-style experience for patrons, once customers have selected their 'eye candy', they are treated to a photo-shoot and featured on the business website.

I ended up finding a pair of glasses that provided a better fit and in the exact colour combo I was looking. It also turns out that the woman on the phone was the owner Helen.

Firstly, I can appreciate them being able to accommodate students and will give a discount for their eye exams in order to help us out. Secondly, they are 100 percent up front with everything and why they do what they do. Secondly, they have this machine that takes a picture of the inside of your eye which I've never seen before. Dr. Tang showed me the inside and which parts did what and it was soooooo interesting to me. Not everyone decides to have that level of transparency and make an effort into making a rapport with their clients. Stella was really great in recommending some lenses for myself that will help me in being able to combat the blue light that gets emitted from screens since I am constantly on the computer due to my school and my job. She was really interested in explaining everything to me. I love the fact that I can get all my documents emailed to me. My prescription, invoice and everything I need for insurance purposes will always be on my phone and computer when I need it. I'll see them in a few weeks to get my glasses since I'm waiting for some other insurance to kick in. But I wouldn't recommend anyone else for an eye exam, they're seriously amazing.

She is very patient and has a cheerful personality which puts a BIG smile on my face during my visit :) I felt very at ease in her hands. Staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable - overall, a very pleasant experience, thank you :) During the comprehensive eye examination, I got my pupils dilated. Be sure to bring a pair of sunglasses with you if you're driving - you will be sensitive to lights! Or you can purchase a fashionable pair in their dispensary. The clinic carries a great selection of brand name eyewear and sunglasses! We also did something called Optomap wide-field retinal scan, which carefully and thoroughly checks the inside of the eye for any hidden eye diseases, monitors suspicious areas and changes from year to year, and confirms that everything is healthy! During the visit, I also learned that Dr. Tang specializes in contact lens wear, LASIK consultation, and Ortho-K (AOK) overnight corrective contact lens for myopia control in children. You can also make an appointment online anytime using their real-time schedule - very convenient and easy to use. Thank you Dr. Tang for making sure my eyes are healthy and for giving me advise on how to maintain/improve my current eye health and vision with your expertise. Highly recommend Dr. Allyson Tang as your family optometrist!

Dr. Patel is personable, knowledgeable, and patient.
