Today, Canadians have more selection than ever when considering their frames, sunglasses, eyeglass lenses, and contact lenses. In a world of constant change, where new technologies and processes improve our vision and eye health, it can be challenging to know which options are best for you. Nobody likes to be sold.
The eye exam is the quintessential measure taken when considering the health of our eyes. Optometrists nationwide recommend that healthy Canadian adults have their eyes examined annually or biannually, and the optometrist practicing at Woodstock Optical recommends the same. Dr. Rahim Kassam is one of Woodstock's leading independent optometrists, and he practices at Woodstock Optical!
When children are brought into the world, they have no reference frame. If their vision is impaired or experiencing unusual symptoms, they may not even be aware of it, let alone tell you what's going wrong. Children are recommended to have their eyes examined no fewer than three times before reaching Kindergarten.
Anyone who suffers from diabetes must keep a closer-than-average watch on their eye health, as the disease can lead to vision problems which do not affect the rest of the population. Our diabetic eye exam is unique in that it takes extra steps to look for signs of vision-threatening eye diseases early, as late discovery could mean irrecoverable vision loss.
If you wear eyeglasses, don't you ever get tired of taking them on and off, losing them about the house and, sometimes, dropping them on a hard surface? How many times per day do you need to clean your glasses? For anyone suffering from a refractive error with their vision, modern contact lenses are available which offer the same corrective ability as eyeglasses, without the inconvenience.

I have bought glasses here in the past, but I had a terrific customer experience today. The arm on my safety glasses had broken off. I brought them in hoping that they might be able to fix them. Not only did them fix them, they gave me a case for them and refused to take any money for their troubles. Excellent service. He made my day by telling me I have a good heart.

Moved to Woodstock 6 years ago. It was time for new glasses so I asked for recommendations from friends and family living here. All recommended Woodstock Optical. Some having gone there for a long time, one since he was 10 years old!
When I went in for my appointment, I was greeted by very friendly staff. The eye exam went well; thoroughly modern equipment and very thorough. I couldn't find a frame I liked, but I brought one of my own old frames which I did like and they were able to use them. I'd had a lot of questions & called on multiple occasions and with great patience & respect, they answered

I arranged an appointment to try on eyeglasses. A staff member met with me for my appointment on time. I was shown a variety of eyeglasses to choose from. Suggestions were made in my favour by the staff member. I found 2 pairs I liked specifically but settled on one pair. I paid a deposit to begin the process and the staff was understanding when I needed more time to pay off the difference. No high pressures sales and tons of patience. I will refer others to this store.

I moved away last year - recently I fell off my bike and broke a lens đł. I couldnât get a new one made where we presently live - because of the virus. So - I called Woodstock Optical - they made my new lens and shipped it to me by courier. I very much appreciate their service.
5 stars all the way!

Had a reasonable experience here before and came back. They give me the wrong copy of my rx and I go order glasses online considering prices. I find out that they screwed up and call asking what can happen to compensate me. I work and can't come in leisurely. The man there said nothing absolutely Rudely and was rude the entire time talking with him. I will be picking up my file and taking my business elsewhere.

Accommodating, helpful, reliable, friendly and over the top service.
I first came into Woodstock Optical when I moved back to Woodstock in 2011. I came in with my only pair of glasses, broken, and Herb got me a new pair the exact same at no charge. They've been my go-to team since. I can't say enough good things about this place!

Had a really good experience but after making a few calls attempting to replace an old pair of glasses that I misplaced by finding out my frame number I was talked down to by the woman answering the phone and had many sighs anytime I had a question and constantly asked âwhyâ anytime I needed information, this isnât the first time. Iâve come in there twice before to get my frames tightened and she was really unfriendly then as well. The man who tightened my glasses was really professional and polite but I didnt feel comfortable talking to her, maybe they were off days but not someone costumers

The reason for the 3 stars was not because the staff. Everyone was friendly when I walked in. Carrie, Emily and Mary were at the front desk and got me checked in. Carrie did my pre exam tests and was very efficient and thorough with a personable demeanor making the tests go smoothly. I didnât wait very long for Dr. Ullman to do the exam but it seemed like it was short and it not very thorough. After the exam I sat with Eduardo who was very helpful with checking out the glasses. Carrie came back to check on me and see if I needed any help before I left.

I drove from Stratford after a morning work-shift after seeing online the large assortment of glasses available. I did see a large assortment, but was disappointed at how difficult it was to retrieve the glasses off of the holders on the wall. I was looking for glasses with clip ons. Selection for a larger head were minimal & I asked if the other glasses could accommodate a customized clip-on. The person on staff told me that I wouldn't want to go with that option because they were pricey at $125. I"m like really, you have a lot of gull to judge what I can afford - I guess I should have showed
