Went in for an eye exam during COVID-19 restrictions and Dr. Misener and the clinical staff were absolutely awesome! Felt welcome from the start and was examined by Dr. Misener who was extremely informative and explained every step of the process. Will absolutely be going back for future visits if needed.

I love Ancaster Eye Clinic. Getting new frames for the first time in nearly 10 years and it was quick and easy. Im terrible at deciding on what look to go with so having lots of friendly opinions and help picking options was what I needed. I walked out with my new frames same day too! Thanks to Dr. Misener and your lovely team.
