I was there yesterday afternoon for an eye exam and ended up also ordering two pairs of glasses as well. Everyone I had interacted with was lovely especially the young doctor and the worker with the long curly hair (I apologize to them I’m terrible with names). They really helped me decide on a prescription & many options for frames that worked within my budget.

Wonderful service from start to finish. Staff at the front are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Paul conducted a very through eye exam on me. I really appreciate how the staff take their time to make sure you feel comfortable and that all your questions are answered. Highly recommend this place!

Do not buy from here. Will promise you a deadline for your glasses and WILL NOT deliver by that time.
Will never call you to let you know of delays.
Also, when you do call them, they will ask you for an extra day for shipment, when in reality it won’t come then either.

Vishal spent 3 days helping me choose multiple frames and understand the entire process as this was my first time purchase in Canada! He has shown so much patience and kindness throughout the process and took his time explaining every little detail. Vishal has shown excellent work ethic, very detailed, and again, very patient. So thank you Vishal and team!

We had really good experiences with full experience here eye exams, glasses fitting and contact lens fitting, ordering contact lens. The optician Vishal was super patient and professional all the times that we went in for adjustments and back and forth because we have high prescriptions. Recommend this location for sure!
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.
