They have also made new changes since the fall of 2023 to the interior so that those with mobility issues are not able to be in the office even if they did have a portable ramp for the front of the store steps. This is a huge insult! In response to JM's comment. No, this is true as I was actually refused entry and my appointment cancelled due to my mobility issues. A portable, easy to lay down and lift up ramp would solve the issue. However, I was informed that this won't help as the office has changed inside so that I can't wheel about in there even if I did gain entry. There is no space, this is what I was told. JM, in response to your need for a larger space to serve everyone: And yet last year I was able to fit in the waiting area and get an exam. I don't think that your space has suddenly become smaller. And in regard to your landlord not supplying a portable, light weight, easy to carry and place on the step out front to make your store accessible: This isn't something that the landlord would need to install as it doesn't get installed and would work like moving a chair from one side of the room to another. There is no point in my continuing comments to these excuses that you are making as the bottom line is: My appointment was cancelled this year by your office due to my need for that portable ramp. I don't expect you to truly understand how bad this feels for me. After finding an optometrist last year, I now must start over due to something as simple and easy as a portable ramp.

I've been going to eyeDOCS Westboro for the last 8 years (from back when they were called The…read moreWestboro Optometric Clinic -- got to admit, the rebranded name is much cooler). I really like the staff here and the place is spotless. I've seen a few different optometrists here (they try to keep you with the same one, but sometimes the optometrist no longer works there when you return), and all of them have been friendly and patient. The reception staff are also really nice and you always get a reminder call the day before your appointment. The clinic is bright and clean. They also sell glasses there. They don't have a huge selection though. They sell contact lenses too and their prices on those are very competitive. It's $165 for an eye exam, which I think is a bit higher than other places, but for the professional service and clean environment, I think it's worth it (although I do have health insurance so I get a partial reimbursement). I don't believe there is a parking lot at this location, but there is street parking. I initially chose to go here because it's walking distance from my home (so I can just put on some shades and stumble home after they dilate my pupils, and not have to rely on getting a ride), but I continued to go because of the great service.

My eyes were in bad shape. Really bad shape…read more I've been a glasses and contacts wearer for about 12 years -- which means that I've been a contacts wearer for most of the hours in those 12 years. I try to take care of my eyes, but I had just moved from Boston and I hadn't tried to find a new optometrist during all the transition, and i was wearing old contacts for far too long. My eyes were sore and basically rejected my contacts. I was dropping all the eye drops I could find and my eyes were blurry all the time. All of this is to say that Wesboro Optometic was the best place I could have gone. I should note that I went to Laurier Optical in the Rideau Center first because it was cheaper and I'm still an American resident technically. After they made me cry because they were mean, hard to understand, told me there was something seriously wrong with my eyes and I'd need to see a specialist, and gave me the worst prescription ever, I vowed to find someone else and get a second opinion. Westboro Optometric isn't far from my house, and it looked really nice and clean when I was heading by, so I made an appointment. Plus, it's one of the only places with a good website, which is helpful to get an impression of them. They charge more for an appointment ($160 vs $75), but it could not have been more worth it. The staff is very friendly and thorough, and I'm incredibly thankful for my doctor, Jason Bussey. Dr. Bussey made me feel comfortable from start to finish, and has really walked me through the process of getting my eyes better. After a very comprehensive exam, he gave me some contacts to try for a couple weeks, then I came back free of charge to test my vision with those contacts. When my eyes started to heal, he sent me off with another prescription and I came back in three more weeks to try again. My eyes were getting so much better, but I told him they were still sore, so the gave me medicated drops and a new precription. Now I'm back to a much lower strength prescription because my eyes have healed -- which is the opposite of what the Laurier Optical said would happen. They basically told me my eyes were never going to get better because I treated them bad and I might need surgery. Dr. Bussey is very kind and softspoken and you can really tell he cares about his patients. He remembered that I am from Boston, and this morning he expressed his condolences for the attacks my home witnessed last week. He just goes above and beyond and I'm really lucky to have found this clinic. Would recommend to anyone!

They took lots of care to explain our prescriptions and what that means, which frames we can pick from, and help to pick ones that would match face/outfit/style etc. Great experience all around.

I have had one eye exam there and my 6 year old son has had two now. This was in total my 4th or 5th time getting an eye exam, and I was so impressed with what I learned about my vision and eye health. I had never experienced such an in-depth exam before, it was very thorough. We made a few notes and will keep an 'eye' on some of the things we discovered. My new prescription is excellent, although it took more time than anticipated. That being said, they advised me that they re-did it for the second time so it was perfect. I was happy to wait a bit longer to get it right. I have developed a very close relationship with the Merivale Vision Care team over the years, after attending and supporting a number of their fundraising events. PS- they are AMAZING with kids and have a very sweet collection of children's frames :)

I recently had a Visual Field Test here and was happy with the service. Staff there are nice and friendly and the place is very clean. They keep the floors clean by asking all patients to cover their footwear with disposable blue shoe covers when you enter the office. There's a door-less closet for you to hang up your coat as well (with hangers, not just a coat rack where other people pile their coats on top of yours and then when you leave you have to remove like 5 coats to get to yours and I always have to pray that my coat doesn't smell like cigarette smoke or isn't covered in cat hair afterwards, yeah can you tell I hate public coat racks). Like other eyeDOCS locations, they have a small selection of eyeglasses frames for sale. This location has free parking at the side of the building and behind the building. The office is a bit awkwardly situated right off of a roundabout, but there usually not too much traffic there, at least not the times that I've been.
