Spectacle is one of the top optical places in the city for cool frames. Erin helped to style my look and explain the different lenses and associated prices. As you know, prescription glasses aren't cheap and the economy is terrible so I really relied on Erin's ability to find me the best lenses for a reasonable price. I'm so happy with my glasses!! Funky frames and excellent service top to bottom from Erin! I can't wait to get a second pair!

It's truly amazing to associate with this optical. The store may not be extravagant and showy but…read morethe staff is very friendly and super helpful. They are not money hungry and will not sell you frames and lenses that you don't need. They are very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make you, the customer happy. I have dealt with them for my whole family and ended up purchasing 2 pairs of glasses for each. We are very pleased and will continue to visit them if and when there is a need and will also recommend and refer family and friends. I would like to give a shout out to Clarence - the owner who is professional, knowledgeable, flexible, super friendly, and helpful. Keep it up Amazing Optical!

I had purchased a couple (pricey) sunglasses online; when I received them, the arms were too wide. I googled eyeglass repair shops and this place was among the first couple establishments suggested. Desperate for any form of help and/or advice, I stopped by the place. The owner (sorry, I forgot his name) was so incredibly helpful. As challenging as it was to make adjustments due to the style of the glasses, he was able to figure out a solution. I was so ecstatic!!! Not only did he amend the alignment of the temple arms so I could now wear my glasses, he did so expecting NO COMPENSATION! I was so eternally grateful, I persisted to INSIST he accept my offer of payment. Afterward, he gave me a lovely token (glasses care products). I'm am in AWE of his kindness and professionalism! I cannot recommend Amazing Optical more!!! You will not be disappointed!

I had been wearing the same Ray ban glasses for over 4 years - definitely time for a change! My…read moreprescription is medium high, and turns out I'm SUPER picky so the experience looking for new glasses became similar to when I searched for a wedding dress -- way too long, eventually hating everything, stressful and the budget went out the window in a desperate attempt to actually find something I liked! The worst part was every store I went to had awful customer service or literally not a single thing I wanted. I was desperate and worried I'd never get new glasses. Eight months into my search I finally found 312. First impression was good - Andrew, the owner, was helping other customers but still greeted us with a "hello", more than I could say for some other stores. The products are way more artistic and beautiful than run of the mill, and he helped identify what I liked and didn't, and was patient with me as I ended up coming in over 5 times to try things on!! Customer service never wavered and he was always honest and up front if something didn't look right or if he thought I'd regret it. Icing on the cake was a trunk sale with all the colours of Andy Wolf glasses, so I could see what they all looked like - that including Prosecco and Lindt chocolate! My glasses were expensive but so were many I looked at that were less impressive. Thanks to Andrew for his patience and he definitely made a lifetime customer out of me! I'd even go there for eye exams because the atmosphere is so welcoming and chill.

I have been going to 312 College optical for the pass three years. Andrew is always very helpful…read more The thing I like most about him, he is honest, he would never allow you to walk out of his store with the wrong pair of glasses. When I pick up my glasses I feel confident in wearing them because I know they look great. He is so cool, he don't even charge you for replacing a crew. Service with comfort and style. I would never go else where, he is the best. Thanks.

Eye Candy Opticians is a trendy eyewear boutique recently opened (today in fact!) in Toronto's…read moreBeach neighbourhood. The philosophy of the business is simple: treat your eyes. They stock a wide variety of frames from brands like Burberry and Armani, to Denmark's popular ProDesign and the UK's FYSH Urban Kool Eyewear, and enough sunglasses to make Hollywood's A-listers swoon. The opticians work personally with each customer to find the right shape and style for each unique individual. Eye health is of utmost importance, and they can arrange appointments with an optometrist for eye exams and accurate prescriptions for those who need them. Building on their boutique-style experience for patrons, once customers have selected their 'eye candy', they are treated to a photo-shoot and featured on the business website.

Within 5 minutes she had called me back and advised that they were unavailable. She also mentioned that she had other models that were very similar. As a supporter of local businesses I went in to see what they had. The shop is very elegant and services a lot of boutique brands while providing high quality service on an individual basis. I ended up finding a pair of glasses that provided a better fit and in the exact colour combo I was looking. It also turns out that the woman on the phone was the owner Helen. Being able to receive that personalized service and finding everything for a good price has made me a loyal customer for years to come.

Don't be deceived. I've worked in the area before and have passed this stores countless times over the course of 8 years and never have I stepped foot within. However, today I tore a contact lens and was desperate to find an immediate replacement as I was driving and one eyed piloting downtown isn't what I would define as ideal. This was the third store that I had visited after my unfortunate contact tear as none of the other stores I visited even cared to bat an eye. Was I pleasantly surprised. The inner store decor is pristine, clean, hip, and showcased a large array of high quality glasses and frames. The service is warm, friendly, and even before I purchased anything, they immediately gave me a free contact sample for comfort. No questions asked. Truly high end service, matched with quality inner design that's both cozy and sophisticated. I'll be certain to visit this place for a new frame upgrade when my eyewear wears off. Give this place a shot. Looks and store front is definitely deceiving in this case.

Ended up getting my eyeglasses for more than two weeks and you need to call them yourself. Yes they're cheap and affordable but the basic frames are on the thinner side. If you're not careful enough, these frames are easier to break. Service is so so - the older guy (Owner) is welcoming and friendly but the rest of the staff have standoffish attitude and doesn't care except to make some sales. Probably won't be coming back here and will find another optical shop when I need another pair of eyeglass.
