My father has his eyes examined here and purchased glasses. He later decided to get glasses…read moresomewhere 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.

As I've mentioned before, I like XS Cargo. It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're…read morelooking for good deals on everyday items, it never hurts to see what they have to offer. Pros: - Awesome staff - very friendly and helpful. I had to make a return on a blender I purchased (turns out the glass was cracked), which was about as pain-free a process as one could hope for. - Lots of variety and an ever-changing inventory keep things interesting. - Great deals on everything! Granted, some of the items carried are not always top-notch quality or brand-new, but I have yet to have an issue with any refurbished product I've bought thus far. - Extended warranties are available for electronics, kitchen appliances, etc. - I've never had an issue with finding a parking space. Cons: - All the XS Cargo stores I've ever been in have been neat and tidy, but this one isn't. I'm not sure if part of this has to do with the space itself (awkward layout) or the staff, but there's a lot of dusty merchandise and general disarray. Perfect for budget-conscious individuals. I hope it never goes out of business.

Dr Schryer is thoroughly in his exam explaining everything as he goes along. He answers all questions. He takes the time to explain overall eye health and impacts of aging on eyes. Nice selection of glasses as well. Plenty of parking.
