updated review: we all know paul eros is great! unfortunately the salesman made me feel very uncomfortable and just constantly pushed for me to get the most expensive type of lenses. had to lie just so i could leave and escape the madness!!! feeling too scared to come back for the eye exam but paul is worth it so idk but not planning to spend any more money here. side note the opticians hours are beyond brutal and doesn’t make me feel valued

I had an excellent experience at the store with Sarah! She was very friendly and patient while helping me pick out the perfect pair of glasses. She showed me several options, gave honest suggestions, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Thank you, Sarah, for your amazing help and kindness!

Avoid this place at all costs. They never answer their phone, so don’t expect any help finding them. Good luck locating their shop inside Rideau Centre—it’s not even listed in the mall directory. After wasting your time trying to track them down, if you arrive even slightly late, they’ll hide behind their strict “10-minute late” policy instead of acknowledging their own lack of accessibility and communication. Terrible experience from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About For Eyes By Clearly
How do I know if my child needs glasses?
Taking your child to an optometrist for an eye exam is the best way to learn if your child needs glasses. Many children who need glasses aren’t aware that they do. Signs of vision problems in children include sitting too close to the television, squinting, sensitivity to light, difficulty with eye-hand coordination, and avoiding visual activities like reading and drawing. To see if your child needs glasses, schedule your child’s eye exam today.
Is a contact lens exam different than an eye exam?
A normal, comprehensive eye exam will allow your optometrist to determine if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. During your contact lens fitting, detailed measurements of your eyes will be taken to determine the right contact lenses for you. There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients). Schedule your eye exam today to have all of your questions about contact lenses answered.
What is the difference between an eye exam and a vision screening?
A comprehensive eye exam is administered by an optometrist and can detect not only vision problems but problems with eye health and general health as well. A vision screening is typically performed by a general medical practitioner such as a pediatrician or a nurse. While a vision screening can help identify vision issues, it can miss many important issues that a comprehensive eye exam can identify. This is why everyone is encouraged to get annual eye exams. Schedule your eye exam today!
Why should I get an eye exam?
An annual eye exam involves more than just updating your glasses or contact prescription. A comprehensive eye exam can also detect eye health issues as well as general health problems. Conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected in early stages through an eye exam, and this can result in early treatment. Schedule your annual eye exam today.
What should I bring to my eye exam?
You should bring your vision insurance and medical insurance information to your eye exam. If you currently wear any prescription lenses, bring your eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses. You should also bring any and all questions you may have. Contact your optometrist if you have specific questions about any additional items you think you may need to bring to your eye exam.
