I went for an eye exam and the staff and doctor gave me an excellent visit. Dr leung was great and explained everything and took his time with my examination. I highly recommend there office for eye exam. As for buying glasses there. Walk away. I was given a certificate for $50 dollars off. By the time i chose my frames and they quoted me on just one pair of glasses it came close to a thousand dollars. Thats pretty jaw dropping. Plus no additional warranties. So if I break anything I have to purchase full price for the broken lens or frames. I have to pay for screw replacement. I have to pay

Got a pair of glasses here for my kid, only because we saw the optometrist in the back. Got lenses myself here too, for frames I bought from a local indie designer. Then my kid fell on his face and broke his frame - took them in for a repair and had to wait ages and pay $100 for what turned out to be the wrong part - so the legs fell off! Took them back again and waited months to get the proper replacement part. Grr. A few months after that, the screw popped out of my frame. I dropped by to get it put back in, and they charged me $5! After me spending close to a grand there! I was astounded at

$5.00 charge to replace a screw. First time I've ever been charged for this (or any minor) service at an optician.

Very happy with my purchase here. I love that this place doesn't carry much run of the mill designers, which at this point I feel are all the same with different names stamped on the side. I bought a Frost frame, which was super unique. Actually most of the glasses here are pretty unique, which makes sense since this is very much a boutique place. I've gotten so many compliments on it. The lenses I was given were Zeiss. Granted they're pricier, but well worth the money. My prescription isn't high, but this was the first time I didn't experience dizziness when I put them
