Nous avons payé environ 2 000 $ pour des prescriptions erronées et des lunettes qui ne servaient à rien.
Mon mari et moi nous sommes présentés dans cette boutique il y a environ deux ans dans une démarche strictement préventive, sans problème de vision particulier au départ.
Nous avons été examinés par le Dr Franck. Des examens supplémentaires, que nous n’avions pas demandés initialement, ont été ajoutés « pour être sûr des résultats », ce qui a augmenté le coût initial de l’examen de la vue.
À l’issue de la consultation, il m’a été dit que j’avais besoin d’une correction rapidement et que, sans cela, je risquais d’avoir des problèmes de vue. Ce discours m’a fortement inquiétée ; j’ai donc acheté immédiatement des lunettes et commandé des lentilles. Il m’a également été indiqué que je devrais revenir quelques mois plus tard afin d’augmenter encore la correction, car l’état de mes yeux « n’allait pas du tout », ce qui a renforcé mon inquiétude.
Dès la réception de mes lunettes, j’ai constaté qu’elles ne fonctionnaient pas : je voyais moins bien avec les lunettes qu’à l’œil nu, avec des maux de tête, une sensation de désorientation et des difficultés à marcher normalement.
J’ai contacté la boutique pour signaler ces problèmes. Un rendez-vous m’a été fixé sur place. Lors de ce rendez-vous, on m’a expliqué qu’il était impossible que le Dr Franck se trompe, qu’il était très compétent, avec beaucoup d’expérience, et qu’il donnait des conférences à l’international, notamment au Japon. Il m’a été indiqué que les symptômes étaient normaux et liés à une phase d’adaptation neurologique pouvant durer plusieurs mois.
Faisant confiance à ces explications, j’ai continué à porter les lunettes malgré l’inconfort. Pourtant, près de deux ans plus tard, je ne m’y suis toujours jamais habituée.
Récemment, j’ai consulté un autre optométriste. Son avis a été clair : la prescription initiale était inadaptée et trop forte pour mes yeux.
J’ai envoyé un courriel à la boutique afin de partager cette mauvaise expérience et de demander une révision de nos dossiers. À ce jour, nous n’avons reçu aucune réponse.
Nous partageons cette expérience de manière factuelle afin d’inviter à la prudence.

I am a long time customer since 2006, and until recently, I have had very good and competent service here. In the past few years, the staff has changed completely, along with one of their best optometrists, who has left for another place. The two frames I got are excellent, but the progressive bifocal lenses are incorrectly done. I have an extensive file there that should clearly specify my cataract operations on both eyes, where the implanted lenses are for distance only. Yet the near (reading) portion of the lenses is too small. I also filled out a form indicating that the primary use of these glasses is for reading. The blurriness increases too soon as my head tilts down slightly when reading. I know the proportions of the near and far lens areas can be adjusted. I left a message with the store a WEEK ago and it's now Wednesday, two days after the holiday weekend has gone by, and still there is no call back! My father was with me and got an eye exam that day. He didn't like the amateurish and uncertain behaviour of the staff and doesn't want to go back. Let's just say that Antoine Laoun downtown is only a shadow of its former self, especially after the COVID Pandemic.

Plus capable de gérer la réparation des montures de lunettes. J’ai acheté plusieurs paires chez eux avec un service mais maintenant c’est fini. On doit s’occuper soit même des réparations pour une monture de marque où il faut juste changer la fixation centrale de lunette de vue pour un modèle qui existe toujours. Un histoire de pièces de rechange. Bref plus de service donc plus d’achat de lunettes chez eux.

5 ans après avoir acheté mes lunettes cartiers, je suis revenu car une des pièces c’était brisé. Les 2 dames à l’accueil m’ont accueilli chaleureusement et sont aller voir le technicien. 30 minutes plus tard mes lunettes étaient réparées. Le meilleur dans tout ça c’est que lorsque j’ai demandé le coût, on m’a simplement demandé de laisser un avis si j’avais apprécié l’expérience. Super service.
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.
