"graduated lenses" I'm even more crotchety and prone to complaint if everything doesn't seem exactly right. So I give Dr. Martin and her staff - which includes her particularly patient optician, Susan Feltmate - full points for making sure that I ended up happy with my most recent prescription, after much fussing on my part. Turns out any problems I had were all me being a giant wimp. Who knew? Very professional, with much of the latest diagnostic gear.

It was recommended by my GP that I have an optometrist look at my eyes for a potential arterial…read moreproblem. I researched optometrists in Halifax and saw Lang Optometry was highly recommended. 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.

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!

Let me get right to the point with this one, no beating around the bush!…read more My beef is not with the Dr's, but the front office staff, they need a lesson on customer service. I called in to order some new contacts, my morning started off with me ripping my last pair...so I called to order a new box, I was informed it had been two years since my last eye exam and they could not do anything until I had an eye exam. I explained that I would be happy to do that, but wondering if I could just get one pair to tie me over till I could get in for an appointment. I was told NO, there was no discussion, they were not going to help me until I came in for my $120 eye exam, even though I have been purchasing contacts on a regular basis. I have been a customer there for over 10 years and thought that my loyalty would count for something, I was not looking for a freebie, wanted to order more contacts, make an appointment for an eye exam, and in the mean time needed a pair to get me through. I sent an email to them to explaining my disappointment in their lack of effort to help me, I have not heard a thing. I was not expecting wine and flowers, but maybe a follow up phone call to an upset customer.. that makes good business sense to me. It all worked out in the end, found a great new eye Dr who only charged $70 for the same appointment they charged $120, got my contacts, and I will be happy to spend my money there :) I do not recommend the Doctor's eye clinic, it is all about how much money they can make, not the patient! It's to bad they can't "see" what good customer service is about.
