I couldn't find a listing on here, so I thought I'd write a review for my recent experience with the Bristol/Mavis Vision Express.
I had recently picked up a coupon on LivingSocial for $200 off a pair of prescription eyeglasses for this company, and the location at Bristol was the closest to me. It feels a bit small (nestled in between a Shoppers Drug Mart and another business), but I finally found the place, and I was very pleased with my overall experience. I think I just might have a new favorite place to look for eyewear.
I've been wearing the same pair of eyeglasses (metal-framed Armanis) for about five years, and it was high time that I finally switched things up. The staff were very gracious and helpful when I arrived, letting me look at my own pace and offering advice and suggestions when necessary. After initially going through a good dozen metal-framed pairs, I decided to be adventurous and pick up a pair of larger plastic-framed Dolce and Gabbana glasses, which were a real departure for me, but I soon found myself liking the style and fit.
The coupon I purchased also came with a free pair of sunglasses, so I picked up a pair of Guess shades. They've come in very handy since then.
I also took the opportunity when I was there to have an eye exam done, with a very friendly optometrist who wasn't prone to overselling things like the last eye doctor I went to. She was very patient with me (I have sensitive eyes - don't like things getting too close to them) and was very knowledgeable with what I needed in terms of prescription and services.
The pair I bought were so good that I got compliments on the different style just a couple weeks after wearing them! I definitely feel I made the right choice going here, and I'll definitely be back if/when I need new shades in the future.
Highly recommended! read more
