Contact lenses come in many different sizes and curvatures. From daily disposable to monthly wear lenses, and color enhancing to multi-focal, the options are endless. When you come in for a contact lens exam our optometrist will find the right fit and brand for you. Contact lenses are a great choice for vision correction but should never completely replace glasses.
Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which the tear film of the eye is diminished causing the cornea to be exposed to the environment. This lack of lubrication and protection can lead to severe inflammation of the eye. Regardless of the treatment plan recommended for you, it is important to remember that ocular dryness tends to be a chronic condition.

Stay away from this store!!!! The Optometrist is great, but the manager is extremely rude. He dumped his verbal abuse on me 2 years ago, I complained that he was never to serve me again and I would not come in the store if he was there. Yesterday, he was there. I overheard him berating another customer, yelling, belittling and gaslighting his complaint. The poor guy was quite upset, never raised his voice, was completely respectful the entire time. He repeatedly threatened the customer that 'he has video cameras' in the store. I think the body language on that tape would be very revealing

Terrible experience. Will never trust this business with eye wear ever again. Had my glasses refitted with new lenses and the condition they were returned in was atrocious. There is complete discoloration of the frames with a white film now covering the majority of it.
Upon picking up the glasses and seeing the condition I made an appointment to discuss the condition with the salesperson/glasses adjuster that had assisted me the day of the appointment. When I arrived for the scheduled appointment this person was not there and instead met with someone else that had not assisted me. This person

Perhaps more a critique of the model vs this business individually, which was otherwise professional, clean, well organized...
I went for an eyetest to Island Eyecare in early 2019, passed with perfect 20/20 vision, and the Optician/Dr who did the test tried to sell me $100 in non-prescription products for a previously diagnosed condition which was not bothering me, and I had managed with non invasive optometrist recommended home treatments. Why introduce expensive chemicals if the patient is satisfied with their current status?
Then, after the appointment I was directed towards a sales person

Do not order on-line!. I had been searching online for a particular pair of glasses and found them online at Island Eyecare. I thought this company would be a safer bet because they are Canadian. I ordered and never received a confirmation email, but my credit card was immediately charged. I phoned and the person answering said the online business is totally separate from the physical store. She said she would call the manager and get right back to me. In the end, I called 5 times asking for a refund and each time was told that I would get a call back. I emailed, I set up an online chat. NOTHING

Came here recently for an overdue eye exam, as well as an update on the prescription for my glasses and contacts.
Pros:
- Dr. Narang is incredibly friendly and has an air of ease and warmth about her. I felt totally confident in her abilities.
- It was very easy to make an appointment, and it started right on time.
- Helpful and friendly staff.
- My glasses and contacts were ready for me very quickly, and I received prompt phone calls to alert me.
Cons:
- I found things to be pricey, but I have to admit that I'm used to having eye exams in the states as well as having vision coverage

I made an appointment here on the previous recommendation and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Narang was extremely nice and personable. She took her time to answer all my questions, explaining everything very thoroughly. Unfortunately, I ended up needing glasses, but the staff that helped me pick out some frames were so pleasant that I actually ended up enjoying the process. They were attentive and patient and made sure that the glasses not only looked good and suited me, but were also a proper fit. They even took pictures of me with different glasses on so I could have a better idea of how I looked
