We are family owned and operated and believe in the value of good service to our customers we aren't here just to make a sale today we want you as a lifetime customer.

I am a registered optician. I have been in this business for 11 years. I love my job and how I get to make so many people happier by seeing better. Being an optician means being able to determine what someone's visual needs are and offering the best way to correct for that. My team here at 3 for 1 Glasses has all of the knowledge to help our patients choose the appropriate frame for their visual needs, and can accurately address all problems.
Services
With over 20 years of experience we've come to realize that there's a need for more than just one pair of glasses. That's why you get three pairs of glasses for the price of one! This allows you to have your regular glasses, sunglasses, contacts, progressives, bifocals, reading glasses, computer glasses, sports frames, safety frames, swimming goggles, golf glasses, diving mask, you name it.
Whether it is footwear, clothes, or watches, you tend to build your wardrobe with different pairs for different occasions. From work wear and casual wear, to party wear and sportswear, what you don depends on the occasion, season, functionality and your personal preference. Similarly, don't you think your eyewear deserves to be distinguished by the purpose it serves?
Did you know that 83% of the people in the world learn by seeing, 11% learn by hearing, while 6% learn through touch or movement*? That means from a very early age, your children pick up visual cues that help them learn how to walk, talk, study, play and perform hundreds of other activities.

At 3 For 1 Glasses, we urge parents to bring their toddlers for an eye checkup at 6 months, 3 years, at the start of school, and every one or two years thereafter.In fact, in Ontario, your OHIP coverage includes an annual comprehensive eye exam, plus any follow-up assessments for children up to the age of 19.
Whether you play an individual sport or a team sport, any competitive game demands certain minimum vision capabilities. From distance vision and depth perception, to your overall field of vision and hand-eye coordination, the nature of your sport defines the challenges your eyes need to overcome.

Based on your type of sports activity and eye health, you may need lenses that are designed for impact resistance, scratch resistance, UV protection, better peripheral vision, distortion removal, or other such features specific to your sport.It does not matter if you play the sport as a hobby or as a profession.
Regular eye checkups are important for your overall eye health to mitigate potential vision problems or vision loss in the future. These can help detect any issues that may affect the eye like eye strain, age-related or congenital conditions, defects within the anatomical structure of the eye, as well as certain eye diseases.

Had the most amazing experience. Dr. Harris did my eye exam and he is just amazing. Very kind, patient and witty. As for the rest of the team, everyone was incredibly kind, helpful and responsive. Such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

My daughter purchased a pair of glasses here in February after a terrible car accident. They had them ready within the hour. Yesterday they broke because she sat on them. We called the store and asked if they could be fixed. We got there and they had already found the frames and it took mike literally 3 seconds to replace. Free of charge cause they were under warranty. The professionalism of the team from the lady on the phone to the greetings of mike was excellent. Thank you for making things just a little bit easier during this hard time.

The manager is an absolutely awful person. He refused to honor a completely valid gift card that THEY had sent me for Xmas. I had even called the day before my appt to be sure I could use it and was told that Yes, I could (by a very polite and helpful lady). However, after choosing my frames and initiating the purchase I was denied. His first reason was because he said I had to buy 3 pair, but when I pointed out that there was no such stipulation/minimum purchase required printed on the actual card he changed his reason. He then told me in a very rude manner that because I was using ODSP benefits

Dennis helped my family and I each with picking a pair of glasses. He thoughtfully asked for our preferences in styles and narrowed our choices down - we get overwhelmed when there are too many choices so it is always nice to have the optician understand our needs then narrow our choices down to something we find stylish but also accommodate our prescription needs! We appreciate the time and effort he took to explaining the pros and cons of each feature that was possible to add onto our lens too! He was polite and friendly from start to finish and adjusted our glasses to fit comfortably on us.

My experience with Mike was amazing. The best prices for my lenses and great customer service. Explained everything and no pressure. I went to the mall before and paid a ridiculous price and lots of pressure sales tactic. I highly recommend them and won’t go any where else. Kim

Horrible experience!! I stopped by 3 for 1 glasses on Upper James the other day. The 2 girls who worked there were hanging out by the cash register talking loudly about their personal lives and just being really obnoxious. The dark haired one was especially vile. She was telling the blonde one about a date she had been on (it was the rated R… edition). They had no regard for the customers in the store. They were laughing and carrying on like high school students. I don’t know who their boss is but I would definitely reconsider keeping these two employed. I walked out and I’ll

We purchased our glasses a couple of months ago.
Great selection, pricing and staff. Pricing was very affordable.
Had an issue with the prescription sunglasses that I bought, but they worked with me to fix it as best they could. When it was discovered that the lens were too thick for the frames (they kept popping out), they worked with me to find a comparable pair that suited my preferences.
They rushed to get the replacements glasses done, and I love them more than my first choice.
We will definitely use 3-For-1 Glasses for our future purchases and recommend them highly to all!

I was in the city this weekend and decided to stop by Sunday afternoon on a whim from a suggestion of a local friend of mine.
The nose piece on my glasses were both oily, dirty and one was broken.
I was hoping they would be able to replace my nose supports, clean and adjust my glasses for me but was a bit shy and worried they may not be able to do so as I did not have an appointment.
What happened next was unbelievable; right away when I walked in a lady who was helping someone else greeted me with a smile. I walked up to the counter and explained my situation to the lady at the desk. She took

I got 3 pairs of glasses from them years ago and NOT ONE MATCHED MY PRESCRIPTION!!! I couldn't see properly out of them so they redid them a couple times and NEVER got them right! I took them to my optometrist and she measured them and proved they didn't match my prescription. I asked for my money back but they refused!!! So I reported them to the Better Business Bureau and they did nothing to help because they said it had been too long since I purchased them (guess I was too patient trying to let them fix them over and over but never actually fixing them).

So I was out hundreds and

Worst selection of frames I have ever encountered in an outlet that sells frames and glasses. To cobble together 2 or even 3 styles would be an impossible task. Barely able to find one that was remotely decent. Not sure if they ran out of stock or if this is the poor selection they carry at all times.
Another deal breaker is that they take the frames to make your glasses right from the shelf that who knows how many other people have tried on before you and no doubt they've even landed on the floor a time or two. I asked this question as I wanted to know where my frames would be coming from
