When I came in Canada it was hard for me to find a good optometrist. I previously had 2 eye exams at different location, and no one of them were able to spot that I had astigmatism for one of my eye and would give me inaccurate prescription. So it feels good now to know that I have found a reliable place to go to if I have any issue with my vision. The prescription from Dr Liang was perfect and he also provided me with contact lenses that fit better than the brand I used to have. The lady at reception is also very kind. I only give 4 stars because of the wait though, but it seems like they are in a quite busy clinic.

Spadina Optometry has done some great pivoting their business model. Enjoy the clichés. I was almost out of contacts. Pretty scary during this uncertain time. I need them.

They have my 'script on file, and I emailed and paid via transfer. My contacts arrived within two days. Brilliant.

My regular optometrist that I have been seeing for years is located at Markville Shopping Centre…read more Due to ongoing issues between Ontario Health and optometrists, eye exams aren't available. Bummer. I tend to see my optometrist in December every two years. What now? I did a search and found Unionville Optometry. It's a bit closer to me. I sent an e-mail asking whether there were any appointments available for this week. Twenty minutes later, I got a response and there was an appointment after work on Thursday. It was perfect. You need to do a pre-screening questionnaire before you show up at the place. The questions range from what your existing medical conditions are, to whether you have ever had COVID-19. You are then given a list of points about what will happen when you arrive at the clinic. A lot of them didn't happen, such as getting my temperature checked. The short, accurate version is the following: - Arrive at the clinic, and either call or text the clinic that you have arrived. I did the former. The woman on the other end indicated to approach the door in five minutes and someone will let me in. - When you are let in, you are asked to wash your hands at the sink by the entrance. Soap and paper towel are available. You do not need to sanitize your hands. I had a nice technician who let me in. She looked at my car and commented on how nice the blue colour was. It was nice to hear. She then led me to a bunch of different machines to test various aspects of my vision and eyes, from pressing a button whenever you see a light flash somewhere, to getting a puff of air to test each eye's pressure. I also had photos of my eyes taken. After all tests were done, she asked me to take a seat in a designated waiting area and Dr. Mark would come see me. This clinic is a family-run business. The family name is Innamorato. My guess is that spelling and perhaps pronunciation can be pain points, so everyone calls the doctors by Dr, followed by their first names. I like simplicity. Dr. Mark was friendly and thorough. We analyzed my sight with my existing glasses versus what looked better to me. He was understanding and I appreciated his explanations that weren't completely medical speak in nature. He also has a sense of humour. He asked who my usual optometrist was. I said her first and last names. He started singing Ricky Martin's "Living La Vida Loca," which cracked us both up. I didn't realize that her first and last names do sound like La Vida Loca... haha! I paid at the front desk. When you do the pre-assessment, you are asked to enter a credit card, but no charges would be made to it. My guess is that if you don't show up, a $75 charge for not cancelling within 48 hours occurs on your card. The eye exam here is more than what I typically pay at my regular optometrist's office. The eye exam is more detailed and comprehensive. I am okay with it, considering my track record for a weird eye issue that I had a few years ago. You then add on how much it is without OHIP and it looks expensive. Luckily, I have health insurance with my employer, so I'm covered for a good chunk of this cost. I paid with my debit card. The transaction was smooth. I got my receipts and prescriptions from the woman. They were clearly printed out. I asked whether I had the code for this service provider on the receipt, so I could file my insurance claim. She wrote it down for me. Remember to ask for it, which will make your claim easy to file. I filed my claim online after I had dinner. It went well. I got reimbursed today. Direct deposit is awesome! I had an excellent experience and felt comfortable. If my regular optometrist is still closed when I need my next eye exam, I'd return to Unionville Optometry without any hesitation. This clinic is located on the south side of Highway 7, next to Midas. There is plenty of parking and the signage is so brightly lit that you truly can't miss it on a dark evening. (462)

I am a senior and have had a lot of experience with prescription lenses over my lifetime. The lenses I have purchased in the past from other similar establishments have lasted for years and I have never had any issues with scratches or otherwise. The lenses I bought from Unionville Optometry lasted 7 months, despite the fact that I took good care of them because they were expensive. I was told by Unionville Optometry that the scratches were my fault Given the care I took with my glasses, I do not accept this. The manufacturer's warranty is limited to 3 months. The optician refused to assist in any way. I do not ordinarily purchase my lenses from Unionville Optometry. I only did so this one time because my optometrist, who works there, suggested that I get my lenses there. I would not recommend purchasing prescription lenses at this establishment.

During the eye exam, she took a history, asked me about any issues I had, and then did the "1 or 2 game" with me. She specifically mentioned assessing how my eyes work together, and did some tests with both eyes open that I hadn't had done before. I also opted for basic contact lens fitting, for an additional $55. For years, optometrists have been telling me that because I have mild astigmatism in one eye, all contact lenses are going to be blurry. (Basic lenses won't fix the astigmatism, and astigmatism lenses were too strong for me.) Dr. Grewal told me there's a "mathematical conversion" that will allow me to wear basic lenses and still have clear vision. This is the first time any optometrist has let me know this is an option. Dr. Grewal put contacts in my eyes. It took a number of tries to get the right lens in, and she kept reassuring me it wasn't my fault- which was actually really helpful. Then she taught me to remove and replace the lenses. For the next week, I'll wear contacts for longer and longer each day. Next week I'll return to report back on how these lenses feel, and she'll give me at least two different brands to trial. She says we can repeat this process until I find a contact lens brand I am most comfortable with, all for the $55 fee. Look and See is about fifty dollars cheaper than my previous optometrist down the street, and their care is way better. Dr. Grewal is knowledgeable and friendly, and I appreciate the guarantee that I'll find contacts I like. There was also no pressure to buy glasses or contacts from them (so far)! *It is important to note that these were the fees for eye exams and BASIC contact lens fitting as of January 2019, and these fees are subject to change. Astigmatism lens fitting costs more.*
