Im not a regular customer but I stopped by because my glasses broke nearby and they happily fixed it free of charge! Very warm and helpful.

In this place, they do not know how to cut lenses nicely. They reordered and cut my lenses three times, but they couldn't get it right! For some, these are trifles. But when you pay $1,500 for new glasses, you want to have beautiful glasses and not a cheap one for $15. After three attempts I took the glasses (it would have been better to refund the money and do it elsewhere). One photo shows my other glasses same frame style with exactly the same lenses cut nicely and correctly. On the other image - Alain Assedo's cut with a sticking out ugly plastic edge. Very poor job for an optician serving

I came in desperate to fix my glasses right before my job interview. She did it in 10 minutes....and then wouldn't let me pay her... She fixed my glasses that I didn't even buy from her for free!!! I'm astounded. Definitely coming back every time.
Merci Marie-Paul!

I have been dealing with Alain for the past 15 years. There is absolutely no one like him or his team! I wear glasses since I am 2 years old. His service, selection, patience and honesty is so appreciated. The second you walk into his store you feel welcome and you know you will be well taken care of. He is so accommodating and understanding. He is also so stylish and knows exactly how to pin point the details and unique features of each frame! Thank you Alain for everything!

The most amazing store in the world. The staff are great. The frame selection is unique,original and always updated to the optical fashion. I would say this store is the most high end optical store in Montreal. They are always PACKED. The service is impeccable. They make sure to take care of you from beggining to end. They wont let you leave unsatisfied. Over all, a great experience. Everyone compliments me on my frames. Alain knows exactly what fits your face. I HIGHLY recommend going here!!!!
