My son is a student in Ottawa. I don’t live close to him. He broke his frames and called me. This business worked quickly and with kindness to help us. I’m so grateful - within one week he had new glasses, that look great, with a happy mom who lives far away, and they gave us a great deal. I’m so glad that I contacted Albert Opticians.

I have recommended this optician to all my friends and family. Professional, accommodating and client-oriented, every other pair of glasses I have worn pales in comparison to the ones I have worn since frequenting Albert Opticians. I can also thoroughly recommend Dr. Nhan, who does a great job making sure you understand your prescription and the options available to you for eyewear. A+++.

What can you say. Albert Opticians is an Ottawa staple for classy, fun and funky eyewear! They have a full selection of glasses and sunglasses with expert opinions from Albert himself! The whole team is extremely professional, courteous and hold their work to the highest standards. Look no where else if you're in the market for glasses/sunglasses. I can't thank them enough for the amazing glasses they've provided me. I'm 100% going back all my future eyewear!

For over 20 years, I have received top notch service at Albert's, I remain as impressed as ever with Albert's personal commitment to his clients and the professionalism and expertise of the entire staff. The selection of frames is varied and well stocked. Because my prescription is complicated, Albert personally helps me select a frame that is well suited for the lenses that I require. It is more than just a store, it is a service that is offered. This year, I also had my eye exam done by Dr. Teresa Stokes, who is the in-store optometrist. I am glad that I switched my eye exam to Dr. Stokes, she

Hello,
Albert Opticians firm is a very professional, high-quality and dedicated eye lenses and frames clinic, located in Downtown Ottawa.
I am very impressed with their commitment to the customer satisfaction, at all times. Mostly, I dealt with Albert, and I am very impressed with his patience, his professional attitude and quality-geared attitude.
He is also a caring person and has a "keen eye" on proposing the highest quality, utility and fitness of the frames so enables a customer to choose frames and lenses without any pressure, hence, it feels good to be a customer of him and the Albert

Want to thank the staff of Albert’s for the care they took in ensuring that my glasses were perfect. Thorough no fault of their’s my lenses were a challenge to grind and fit into my frames. They wouldn’t accept anything less than perfection from the lenses manufacturer. Thanks.

After I saw the excellent reviews posted by other customers in Albert Opticien's site, I decided to take my prescription along with my own frame for them to do it. I was a little reluctant because my last experience with another company was awful and I was afraid to start all over again. I am ever glad I did go to Albert Opticien! They are a very professional team; they are very well equipped to make precise measurements and adjustments before and after your glasses are done and they use the best quality there is for lenses. They also were very helpful and patient. I was told my glasses

Albert Opticians is THE store for fabulous stylish glasses in Ottawa. And the service is unequaled! I have been a customer for close to 15 years. Violet is amazing. People stop me on the street or at events to ask where I've purchased my glasses almost every time I go out ... true story!

I have been a client for a decade now...and I am a loyal client. Why? Simple, service and expertise stand out. If only Albert Opticians would inspire banks when it comes to client support and services. Not only does it provide top of the line opticians but the employees stay (sign of a healthy organization), remember your name, recognize your… voice on the phone and I could go on. Choosing a frame use to take me forever...not anymore. The employees provide excellent advice and latest trends in eye ware to choose from. Les employés sont méticuleusement choisis et bilingues.

I recently purchased a pair of prescription glasses and I couldn't have been happier about the excellent service I received from everybody there. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Albert Opticians! Everybody from the staff is extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and patient. It took me a while to select the right frame, but never I have felt pressured by the staff there. They are truly meticulous and caring people that want the best for the customer. This is definitely my ''must go to'' place if you want any high quality eyewear!

I've always loved it and I've been a customer for years (Albert jokes that it's been hundreds of years)! In the lean years of lots of kids (5) and not a lot of money to spare, I tried some discount places, but I was never happy with the result. Now I can't imagine taking my business elsewhere! I could not have been more pleased last week to… introduce my daughter, Emily, to the experience of service and excellence offered by Albert and his always fabulous team. They have never steered me wrong, and I have always (and continue to) receive compliments on my glasses.

I'm a person who hates wearing glasses. Bought several reading ones, from different opticians in Ottawa, that I hide once done reading until I came across this fantastic boutique "Albert Opticians", which sells one of a kind and sophisticated designs I did not see in any other store in the Capital. The service is the best part: Not only you get the quality of the material (frame and lenses) but you also get the professional expertise of the staff who help you choose the best that fits extremely well your complexion and the shape of your face. It's really magical!!!! I can
