The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, I even got to have a great eye conversation (I'm a neiroscience student) while looking at my eye exam photos. Very intelligent and friendly people! The price of the glasses themselves was a bit high; however, if I'm going to get glasses that I feel good about, quality is important! And Ocean has top quality frames and lenses. I'm a happy customer, and feel much better about the whole four-eyes transition!

This place is an absolute fortune and an absolute factory conveyer belt system. Everything is made as complicated as humanly possible for the client so that the doctors can spend as little time with them as possible. Instead, you have to spend tons of time with interns who are so anxious and scared, their hands shake when they put them near your eyes - and who can barely convey accurate info to the doctor that the client is not allowed to go near. My consent did not matter for any part of the process and worst of all, they didn't come close to even improving my eye problem, let alone fixing it - before I gave up on them. So I now have to go pay someone else to start all over.

First ordered glasses that were defective and try to sort out the issues and Dr. Chow said it was my eyes because I'm getting old. Shortly after that got new glasses because broke the old ones and the problem was corrected with the new lenses that he declined to take responsibility for because of that improper making of the lenses. Now I have a virtual field test that is two hours away and a defective machine as far as my opinion is concerned wanted to use the Halifax location and said that the machines are different doesn't make sense to me I would not recommend using these guys because they don't assume any responsibility for their incompetence in their equipment very disappointed with Dr. Chow and would not recommend anyone to trust your eyes with someone that you can't trust. Very disappointed and will be telling everybody I can't to stay away from any of the eyes location. Also the glasses they wanted to sell me for $800. I got the same glasses same lenses same everything for $450 at Costco.

Vogue Optical is a small Atlantic Canada optical chain with locations in most cities and bigger…read moretowns. It has two major selling points: a) it offers a 2-for-1 deal on most eyewear b) it has a wicked long guarantee against damage and destruction. In fact, Vogue will replace your glasses if they are damaged in any way for up to two years from the date of purchase. Dog chewed the frames? Covered. Kid got elbowed during a basketball game and the glasses went flying? Covered. Alien abduction and they forgot to return your glasses? Uh, not sure if that one's covered actually. Vogue's showroom holds a decent stock of frames, starting from $89 (mostly children's frames in that pricepoint) and headed upwards from there. They stock several designer names and can easily advise you as to whether the frame you are considering will work with your prescription. Vogue has saved us headaches on many occasions by advising us on unique characteristics to my son's prescription. Making them even more popular, Vogue now offers a financing option (on approved credit). For persons without insurance, this helps to make the ding in the wallet a little less painful. Vogue also co-houses an optometrist who does eye exams. Call ahead, as each optometrist's office is only staffed on certain days of the week. I'd recommend Vogue to anyone looking to upgrade their fashionable eyewear. I get great compliments on my glasses - even from strangers in the grocery store parking lot!

I've frequented Vogue Optical a few times, but never this particular location. While it is a hike…read moreit was the only one that could get me in within the time frame I required. The lady at reception in the doctor's office was quite pleasant. And I can say the same for the doctor herself. Very nice, thorough and answered all my questions. At the end of my exam I asked for my prescription as I wanted to get new frames. I was shown (by the receptionist lady) where all the frames were and was told someone from the show room would be with me in a few minutes. I spent some time roaming the displays trying to figure out what it was I liked. After almost a half hour of wandering and having only pulled off 2 frames I thought I might like no one had come to help and I was getting frustrated. Yes, I had tried to find someone but saw no one. A few times a staffer would walk through, I'd ask for some help and I'd be told someone would be right with me. And still no one came. Eventually I was asked by Marlene if I needed any help. Finally. She was very helpful with helping me determine which frames I liked and which ones looked best on me. They carry a decent selection of frames, and some designer labels, for men, women and children. They're able to tint most lenses, and have a selection of sunglasses as well. As far as prices go they're somewhere between moderate and pricey. I wouldn't call their pricing excessive, but I wouldn't call it easy on the pocket book either. And since they have the 2 for 1 deal, it isn't so bad. The main reason I continue to use Vogue for my glasses is: -2 year warranty on the lenses -buy one, get one So, if you want two pairs of glasses to suit whatever mood or outfit you in for the day, then Vogue is a great option. Or if you just want new frames and a pair of sunglasses, they can do that too. I placed my order and was told it usually takes about a week to get the glasses back. Which isn't bad. I've experienced longer wait times at other (non-vogue) locations. While the visit overall wasn't terrible I wasn't pleased with having to wait so long to have someone help me with frames, so for that reason they get 3 stars. I haven't gone to pick my glasses up yet. Who knows on that visit they may redeem themselves and earn another star. Stay tuned!

I was told the frame was actually broken and a new frame needed to be ordered. The glasses were given back and I was told I would hear from them within a week. On August 6th I called and was told the frames were not in. By this time one of the arms had fallen off and the other arm was hanging by a thread. On the 13th of August I called and, once again, the frames were not in. I no longer could wear the glasses as both arms had now fallen off. I was experiencing headaches from straining my eyes. Kathleen, the person I spoke to on the phone, suggested I come in to see what they could do for me. I went in and met with Leslie. She was a lifesaver! She searched for a suitable pair of frames that my lenses would fit into. I could use these while I waited for the new frames to arrive. It was a lengthy process but she eventually found a pair. Leslie assured me she would look into the whole situation and two days later I was back in and Leslie had my new frames. She quickly replaced the lenses and I was good to go. I can't thank Leslie enough for everything she did to rectify the problem. I was so impressed with her professional manner and her determination to turn a very negative situation into a positive outcome. It's individuals like Leslie that have customers returning to Bedford Eye Care. Catherine Spears

I booked an appointment and was told that it would be $160 for an eye exam (which, already, is significantly more than most places). I explained to the receptionist that I was seeing an optometrist for a medical reason and that I wasn't interested in having my vision tested. She said she's just "the lady that answers the phone," and didn't know anything about when or how MSI could cover an optometrist appointment. She forwarded my call to another person, a manager I believe, who explained to me that as a new client it was required that everyone get an eye exam to establish a file with the clinic and that this exam was a nonnegotiable requirement. I told them I wasn't interested in an exam that I felt like I didn't need, and I was told that this was their policy. They did tell me that the exam may be cheaper depending on what was actually involved, which I appreciate, however she was similarly unable to explain to me when or how MSI covers appointments and insisted that I needed to pay for my first exam. I had her cancel my appointment. I called another optometry clinic and the receptionist there was very knowledgeable and able to explain to me in detail, and in much friendlier terms, what my options were. So, I booked an appointment with them, and worst case scenario will be saving $40 as their prices are lower. I've heard great things about Dr. Lang. It's a shame his front staff couldn't assist me.
