This isn't your average spot, located near the 17th Ave and 4th St intersection, they offer a wide range of examinations and glasses options. They even carry the very cool and forward thinking brands ECO and Modo. Now you may be thinking, why would I bother going to the optometrist, I don't need glasses! My first question to you would be, are you sure, when did you last get your eyes examined? You are supposed to go every two years at the least. Now I am not a frequent glasses wearer, I have a pair for night time driving, but just like going to the dentist or the doctor, I get my regular check ups. My family members are frequent glasses wearers, so I have been visiting optometrists regularly for almost 30 years, and Dr Ross is by far the most courteous, understanding, and knowledgeable one I have come across. He took the time to go over each test and why they were doing them as well as explained the results with me. He didn't talk down to me, and he answered all my questions patiently until I understood it completely. I highly recommend visiting Eye Spy Optometry, whether for an exam or a new pair of sunglasses, you won't be disappointed!

Every detail in this store is illuminated. Even the floor is glittery. Backwalls and displays are lit with blue and purple lights. Too rich for my blood, I thought. It wasn't until I was actually looking for an optical place, I walked into Optiko. Browsing around, I found a good selection of brand name eyewear. They carry Chrome Hearts (which is pretty ballin since there's less than a handful of places that do). They don't carry the usual selection of brands other optical places carry. An honorable mention, is the amount of unique designer peices they stock. I can't say many places carry the wood frame Ray Bans or the Cat eye Prada frames. Simply put, most stores won't carry them for fear of them not being able to sell. What does this mean for Calgary shoppers? Limited selection, limited choices and boring standard products. The eclectic, the unique and fashionable live here. Optiko breaks the mold for the safe and standard. Kudos for having the best selectiof of upscale designer products and ever friendly staff. I had a really good time shopping here. Review #9 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

My first treatment was done in January 2026, administered by a very skilled and gentle-mannered young woman named Hannah. She talked me through everything she was going to do, and made sure I was comfortable with the heat of the RF and the strength of the IPL pulses. Once she was done, she gave my face a wonderful, soothing massage. After this she called on Dr. Kloepfer to express the ducts along the edges of my eyelids. That's when he showed me which areas of my eyelids were in good functioning order, and which were blocked or atrophied. It gave me a good understanding of the condition of my eyes and how the further 3 treatments would improve my condition. I have now completed my treatments and am very happy with the results. I highly recommend these treatments and this clinic. My sincere thanks to Hannah and Dr. Kloepfer!

Hello review #900!…read more I moved to Toronto 3 years ago and haven't bothered to find an Optomitrist so I figured while I was back in town for the holidays I would get an eye exam. The offices are really nice and have a modern look and feel. They layout seems a little odd but you always have someone directing you around so you can't get lost. The doctors have changed over the years but I've always had a great exam with each. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because of price. The exam itself is $110 compared to around $75 for a standard exam. I wear Acuvue Advanced contact lenses and Health Plus charges $40 per box. Clearly Contacts charges $32.99, a pretty big difference.

I originally bought glasses from a local competitor, and the frames kept snapping--five pairs in total, most within days. They even let me switch to different frames at no cost, but those snapped the next day as well. The lenses also weren't built correctly for my Rx, and I kept thinking the issue was me. The staff there were kind, but after so many failed attempts, I had to walk away. A second opinion confirmed that the lenses were poorly shaped, causing stress fractures in every frame. I went to Lens Save Express, where I've shopped in the past, and shared my experience. I bought an Armani frame for the lenses, but it snapped the next day too. Instead of brushing it off, they investigated thoroughly. Their lens specialist confirmed the lenses were the real problem and offered to replace them for free. The new glasses--progressive lenses with beautiful frames--fit perfectly, feel great to wear, and have held up without any issues. The customer service, patience, and kindness I received at Lens Save were outstanding. I highly recommend them and am truly grateful for the care they took to make everything right.

The "front of store person" is incredibly rude and short. If you are going to hire somebody to run the front they should know how to interact with other people and not treat them like they are wasting their time. I had two such experiences with her in the short time that I was there.

I have had laser surgery on both eyes before with no problems in a different city. Then I had my…read moreleft eye redone with no problems. In both cases, there was almost instant improvement in my sight. In the summer of 2013, I had my right eye redone at this clinic. The result was terrible. My left eye was strong on far sight, and my right was strong on near sight. I wanted to increase my far sight vision on my right eye, so I went to this clinic for the procedure. The procedure cost quite a bit more, as my eye was treated before. Right away, I knew something was wrong. Very poor near sight and very poor far sight. I waited a week and no improvement. Even the optometrist was silent every time I went in for the required follow ups. Eventually I went back to this clinic and a tech spent 45 seconds testing my vision and wrote down that I had 20/30 vision. A different doctor came in then, since the one who completed my procedure was not available. She asked why there was a problem, and I told her how I can't see near or far and that 45 second eye test was not accurate, I can guess what the letters are during the eye test, just by the blurry shape. So later that month, I did get to see the original doctor and he indicated that there was abnormal cell growth and that is why I can't see and they will have to do another procedure. My vision was bad from the minute I left the procedure room, so this theory indicates that cells instantly grew after the procedure to wreck my vision. I had the second procedure and my far vision is a little better but my near vision is extremely poor. I need reading glasses to do anything. I need them for my job, shopping, using a computer, plugging anything in, and of course reading. I basically went in with vision that was not too bad to ending up with wearing reading glasses most of the time. The reason I originally had laser vision was to not have glasses. I might have believed the story about cell growth if it wasn't for a few things. I have had my eyes done twice before as I indicated and the great results were almost instant. This time, instantly bad results, so I don't believe the abnormal cell growth story. Before the procedure they put a name tag on my right side. The staff told me they do that so no mistake is made, correct person on the correct eye. Were there previous incidents where mistakes were made? When I entered the procedure room, the nurse said to me, "So today we are working on the left eye". I said "No..., my right eye is being treated". So now I am convinced they used the wrong procedure setting on the equipment, as how could my vision end up being so wrong. I've spent thousands of dollars on the procedure, losing wages for taking time off work and expensive optometrist visits to end up with worse vision and wearing glasses. My quality of life has gone way down. Now this clinic has not abandoned me. I still have another visit and there was talk of a more invasive procedure, but I think I have had it with the procedures which have wrecked my vision. Maybe that was the plan after all; wait me out as it has been 10 months now and I am ready to just suffer with my poor vision. I'm sure 95% of the people who have visited this clinic have walked out with great vision, but sadly, not me.
