My father has his eyes examined here and purchased glasses. He later decided to get glasses somewhere else and phoned Hakim Optical to get his prescription. He was told that he could not have the prescription, as the exam fee paid for his exam but not the release of the prescription. He was told that they did not release prescriptions, as they did not want people buying glasses off the internet. This is a complete fabrication, as an exam and subsequent prescription are part of a medical record, which is the property of the patient. He believed them and would have continued to do so if I hadn't pointed out that they were lying to him. These people were trying to gouge an older gentlemen who trusted that they would be honest with him and tried to force him into continuing to buy glasses only from their establishment. When I phoned and pointed this lie out and also explained that you can clearly read on the Opticians Association of Canada that the prescription belongs to the client/patient the were suddenly able to release it. They are crooks who lie to customers as a way of forcing them into spending money in their office. They should be ashamed of themselves for trying to take advantage of those who trust them. read more
