I had been thinking about getting my vision checked for months but I kept postponing it and…read morepostponing it. So one day I decided to come into this place in my hood and it was the best decision ever - the doctor that conducts the vision examination is super professional, attentive and gives you all the information possible about the diagnoses or changes in your prescription. The rest of the team was incredibly welcoming and very smiley too, helped me pick a new pair of glasses based on my facial features. Result: wonderful service and advice, and beautiful new and adjusted glasses.

I'm really disappointed by my experience here. While visiting Canada from the U.S. with my family,…read morewe stopped in for a quick glasses repair and to browse some frames that aren't available back home. Unfortunately, the visit quickly turned uncomfortable. I noticed I was being followed very closely around the store and was repeatedly asked if that was "all" before I'd even had a chance to properly look at anything. What stood out even more was that this treatment seemed to be directed only at me and not at other customers of different races. Because of this, I decided to put everything back and leave. No one should feel singled out or unwelcome while simply shopping. I can't recommend a place that made me feel this way, and I won't support a business where I experienced what felt like discriminatory treatment.

Small differences can happen, but 20 degrees is unacceptable for a place that claims to be professional. Even then, I wasn't angry. The real nightmare started when I checked my glasses. I bought a handcrafted frame from Japan for more than $800 after tax--fragile, unique, and something I truly cherish. On the day they tried to "fix" their axis mistake, instead of handling it properly, they decided to bend my frame without my consent. Now it's distorted, misshapen, and looks awful. They brushed it off as a "small adjustment." How ridiculous! Who bends a fragile Japanese frame to fix an optical prescription error?! I'm devastated and deeply disappointed by the way they treat their customers. And yes--it was Dr. Rebecca, the same name that appears in many other one-star reviews. Also, after few rounds of communication, the clinic refused to admit their mistake, still saying their intention was good, and the issue was small. The most irresponsible clinic I've ever encountered. A complete joke.

I was so pleased by my first visit to 360 Eyecare! The front desk staff was so friendly and efficient and made my arrival/check-in easy. They were very warm and welcoming! When it was time for my exam, Dr. Baraam was very thorough and explained each step of his process so that I knew what was going on. I learned a lot about my eye health that day! Picking out frames had never been easier! Typically this is a daunting task, with hundreds of frames to choose from but the optician took her time to help me decide on a frame I loved. When the glasses were ready for pickup, I was so thrilled by the how the lenses turned out. I've been a glasses' wearer for over 10 years and my previous lenses have never been as clear as my latest pair from 360 Eyecare. Overall, I just appreciate how everyone took their time to ensure that my experience went so smoothly. I am very happy with my Integrum glasses and I highly recommend 360 Eyecare as the place to go for an eye exam in Toronto. read more

The staff who helped me choose eyeglasses were also extremely helpful and courteous. I can't stress enough how important this is as I'm well aware eyeglasses are a high margin, high reward industry I've always been reluctant to purchase eye-ware at the same storefront. I ended up with two sets of eye-ware that I put to immediate use with a cross canada drive from Ontario to BC. The prescription sunglasses they helped me choose were a perfect fit and a perfect lens. My reading/working glasses were also a great fit and I'm growing very attached to the fit and lens choice.

Submitted a Google review with full honesty that their staff Jennifer suggested me to purchase the Gucci frames. Jennifer then lied about this situation by replying back saying I chose to purchase the frames despite her recommendations. This experience shows that Jennifer does not take accountability for her mistake and put blame on their customers for what happened.

Their service had always been great helping our daughter pick out glasses that suited her and making sure she felt comfortable in what she was wearing. The price point was always higher than what we wanted to pay but we didn't let that bother us cause she would be a glasses/contact wearer the rest of her life so we wanted to make sure she was somewhere that made her comfortable. Unfortunately our recent experience is one that will ensure was our last visit to this establishment. Our daughter, for the first time, snapped her glasses in half at the bridge. We rushed to See and Be Seen Liberty Village to sort out a new pair for her. They fit her quickly with a new pair of glasses for almost $900 and told us that they would typically be ready in 7-10 days but that they would put a rush on it so hopefully it would arrive earlier. Seven days later we reached out to the store to find out if they would be arriving soon only to be told that they were still in the lab. We were assured that someone at See and Be Seen would follow up with the lab because there was a rush on the order and provide us an update but worst case it would arrive early the following week. We never heard back. On day 11 (early the following week) we still had not heard anything about the glasses so we decided to follow up. Again we were told the order was still with the lab and there was no update. This is when we realized no one had originally done the follow up. At this point we escalated the issue and were told that they would follow up with the lab to ensure there is a rush on the order and get an estimate on when they would be delivered. We requested a refund and was told the Director would need to address this. When speaking with the Director we were told no refund could be done as the lenses had already been ordered and that the original timeline was 7-10 business days but could be as long as 10-14 business days. We reiterated what we were told in store but was told repeatedly that would be impossible as their staff are all trained on business days. We asked to speak to the owner of the store and to this day have not heard back from them. Our biggest issue is the lack of accountability from all parties involved. My wife, daughter and I all heard 7-10 days but apparently that would be entirely impossible from their perspective. To top this all off their best advice was for us to buy another pair of glasses (with a free lenses offer) for situations like this. I'm not sure how many people can afford a $500 pair of glasses as a back up. We finally received the glasses on day 13 after they had finally followed up with the lab. I'm sure other people have had great experiences with them as we also had in the past. But this last experience has certainly been the most ridiculous for us and will be the last time we purchase from this establishment.

Booked an appointment for my teenage son to have eye exam at Bailey Nelson Queen East in Toronto…read more After the exam yesterday the doctor did not want to speak with me. I actually tried to speak with her. I thought that was odd. The manager of the store relayed the message that my son could benefit from Blue Light glasses. We then went through the process of selecting those. Fast forward to this afternoon. The store manager calls, leaves a voicemail, telling me that they have made a referral and that my 15 year old knows about it. He didn't. I call back and ask what's up. I'm told that the doctor, in an abundance of caution, is concerned enough to refer my son to another level of clinic to assess the issue that he brought to their attention. The manager called because she felt the doctor behaved oddly by not speaking to me. While I'm happy for the referral, I am a bit disappointed that, between the doctor and the store manager, I was expected to hear of the doctor's concern via a teenage boy. Anyway, all of this is to say you may want to consider a different shop. In my experience optometrists elsewhere do actually speak with parents of kids about what is necessary to keep the kids healthy. This place sort of does that, though you may have to wait 24 hours and hope that the manager comes to feel a bit off about the doctor to the point of calling to let you know herself
