Report
I visited Visions of Canada and was assisted by Nisa S. Nisa was very patient, detailed and professional. She showed me and educated me on using contact lenses. It was my first time using contact lenses, and I was kind of nervous. She reassured me that they are safe and easy to use once you practice. Thank you very much for your outstanding service! I will be back soon :)

Would highly recommended this place. I had a great experience with Angela, Paul, and staff. I walked in unsure of the specific frames I wanted. However, Angela was extremely helpful and patient in finding a pair I was happy with. Not only was the service exceptional, but they also offered the best price in town and had my glasses ready the same day.

Visions Of Canada have top of the line equipment. If you wear thick glasses go see them, they might have a solution to offer thinner glasses for you. Also, Angela's customer service is exceptional. In general, this is my new go-to place for glasses. One of the best buying experience in town for glasses.

Visions of Canada has been taking care of my family's vision needs since they were located on Ouellette Avenue. The service then, and now, is excellent, going far beyond providing basic vision care. Their products and staff are top-notch and they are helpful beyond measure. Their service is personalized and it is clear from all interactions with them that customer service is a priority. Oh, and if you need help choosing your glasses, Sherry and Angela have great taste and a great eye for what looks good!
