Excellent service. Very friendly, helpful, efficient and patient staff. Wide variety of frames and lenses. Excellent value (with added bonus of a seniors discount). My new glasses were ready for pick up within one hour! Highly recommended. Many thanks, Discovery Optometry.

Had a great experience there, excellent customer service! The whole staff is welcoming, super friendly and they actually care about the health of your eyes, not your wallet. I feel very taken care of when I go there. Dr. Barrie is exceptional!

The staff at Discovery Optometry were very pleasant and helpful. They are knowledgeable and proficient in their jobs and my exam moved very quickly. They also fixed my old glasses so that they fit better.
I do wonder why I had to book another appointment to do the periphery testing, rather than doing during the same visit.

We have been going to Dr. Mark for years and have always been pleased with Dr. Mark and the whole crew at the office. Receptionists are welcoming and very efficient. Technicians are great as well as a first rate eye glass staff. They take the time to go over your prescription and eye glass needs. An exceptional business to go for eye exams as well as purchasing quality eye glasses 🤓. Well done!

Quality Friendly Care : I hadn't had my eyes checked in a very long time. Dr. Mark was great. He even walked me through all the pictures of my eyes and explained everything to me. Leanne helped me with getting the lenses for the glasses I already had. I am happy to report that I am driving with clear eyes at night now. Thanks so much everyone

Always appreciate the friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Marks is especially kind and personable and always takes his time with patients. I never feel rushed out the door. Have been going there for 14 years and plan to stay with them.
