Had my eyes tested on July14, 2020. Spent $800 on new glasses. Waited 3 weeks for them. Told the…read moregirl fitting my glasses that I couldn't read on that card they show you, she just continued on. After afew weeks I complained that I could not read and they made an appointment for me on Sept 3. Dr. A Dhillon tested my eyes on a machine and then said I needed to see an Ophthalmologist and would make me an appointment! Well it is now Sept 16, have no appointment with anyone yet and I can't read! He showed no interest in my not being able to read. I can't read my pill bottles, any invoices etc. My glasses I got 4 years ago were 2.50 and these ones are also 2.50. I know my eyes changed in that time! Terrible service.

I walked in to this store yesterday to two saleswomen at the front desk who couldn't even be…read morebothered to stop their talking or turn to greet me or acknowledge me . Then a woman came barreling from the back to demand I put a mask on despite no signs being up to wear one in their store and the mandates being over ... nowhere else in the mall requires masks and they had zero customers the whole time I was shopping so you think they would be more welcoming. I felt like I walked into a mean girls club where I wasn't wanted instead of a customer wanting to drop a couple hundred dollars on sunglasses . I would have found it a bit awkward to put on a mask but if they had a sign up and a more friendly attitude I wouldn't have just left feeling so out of place . Complete lack of customer service or even a desire to make sales ( as a former salesperson was appalling ) . I do not reccomend this store .

I had a great eye doctor visit BUT fitting for eye glasses was awful! The woman put the close up…read morelens too far down on the glasses and I had to resort to holding glasses a certain way to read. Went back and a different woman adjusted so that specs ride very high up on nose and chafe my ears as well. Now view through a slanted lens which seems to be not as clear as original position. Will return one more time for fitting or or see if they can replace with correct position. Or will try replacement lenses on my old tried and true frame but if no satisfaction will go back to my old source for glasses. Also had to wait a month for new glasses then another month for the replacement. FAR TOO LONG! gw

Went to Dr Good in Summerland for second opinion at which time he said surgery was necessary as soon as possible and helped get me on waiting list for amazing Dr Browne. I felt I was treated as a retail patient and not a medical one. The cost for over $400 for a new prescription that last 2 weeks and 6 month delay getting on waiting list for surgery is not acceptable.

I don't recommend buying glasses from them…read more The Eye Doctor's there are really good. So I trusted them to look after my eye glass needs. They up sell you on everything and convinced me to get progressive lense glasses even though I really only needed readers. (Prescription for distance was for only one eye, and next to nil) Purchased August. 22. 2024 Waited roughly two weeks for the glasses ( not bad ). I was told I had 3 months to try them out. From day one there were problems. After coming back to them on three separate occasions, they convinced me to keep trying them and my eyes would get used to them. Today Dec.3.2024, I went back to them and was told that it was past the 3 month period and that basically the cost for a remedy would be at my expense, and mine alone. Suddenly they have ideas on things that could be done. Redo eye exam, tweek design of the lense, etc... none of these were mentioned when I was there the three times within warranty. They just told me to trust the process and my eyes would adjust. I feel like they strung me along to wait out the warranty. Which I might add would not be expired if they calculated it from the day I received my glasses... Instead of the date of purchase. All very shady business IMO. Not enjoying my $800 glasses that can't be used for reading or distance... They look great on a shelf though...
