I'm 82. After ordering my new lenses at the Waddington location on Nov. 20th I asked that they please be sent to Ladysmith for pick up. They aggreed. As the Post Office was on strike I had to wait until Dec 17th when it was over. When I didn't get them before Christmas I called FYI. It is now Jan 4th, I have called Nanaimo once and Ladysmith twice and after being told each time they will be shipped right away, they have still not been mailed.

I wish we had access to more stars From the second I…read morecalled to make an appointment (with the most engaging Ashley) this experience was a dream . I came in with what could have been edging on a serious upcoming issue which Vik, my doctor considered very carefully as we proceeded through the process. From explanation to result I was totally at ease, understood my options and the possible outcomes, costs and his opinion. Then, Vik even suggested getting in to see the retinol specialist in the office upstairs (one of only 4 on Vancouver Island) and once he got my ok, he bolted upstairs to speak to their VERY busy office and amazingly managed to get me in that very afternoon. Their reasoning- "Oh we really like Vik and the whole team at Eye Plus" . Eye Plus is worth the drive and it's worth your eyes. Book an appt and put your mind at rest and enjoy the experience. Can't say enough. I'll probably bring them chocolates next time I drive by!

Very disappointing. I left with a full blown panic attack after being refused my mask exemption. I…read morewas not told when I called that I needed a doctor's note and according to Dr. Henry's guidelines, no note need even be presented. it is not anyone's business why I cannot wear a mask and quoting the BC CDC site: "People who cannot wear a mask or who cannot put on or remove a mask on their own are exempt. Some people cannot wear a mask for psychological, behavioural or health conditions. Some people may also need to remove their masks to communicate due to a hearing impairment. Be respectful of people who can't wear a mask." Please get educated people! I was told I could wear a bandana, which is ludicrous. I really need glasses as a lens fell out of my old ones but I won't go where I'm not welcome.
