Sending a big thank-you to Dr. Albrecht and the staff at Stratford Family Eye Care today.... they fit me in for an after-hours, same-day appointment, during which Dr. Albrecht quickly and painlessly removed a torn shred of a contact lens that was lodged under my eyelid... thank-you!

I find the staff very friendly. Been with Dr. Albrecht for years now, When I had issues with my vision she sent me to an eye specialist I wanted. Also just got my second pair of glasses I wore glasses for reading only. Now I have to wear glasses all time. The staff was very helpful on what frames suited me.

Going to the optometrist for me was like going to the dentist for most people. That is until I became a patient at Stratford Family Eye Care. The Doctor's kind, gentle and patient demeanour put me at ease. They have a great selection of frames and the staff are very helpful choosing a style to suit. I highly recommend a visit to Stratford Family Eye Care.
