The staff at college optical are fantastic. When it comes to pediatric eye wear and special needs they are second to none! I am a customer for life!

Susie was amazingly accommodating and helpful when choosing glasses for my daughter. she took her time and was so patient with trying on different styles of frames. I highly recommend College Optical.

This is my go-to for all of my family's optical needs. We've been using their services since 2007. The staff is always professional, courteous, they always keep their word. They provide true service in a world that is quickly losing the art of customer service. Their product knowledge is second to none. We won't go anywhere else, whether it be at their Sick Kids Hospital location or their Credit Valley location, it's always a seemless transaction.

Had a great experience. Staff were very helpful and friendly at making suggestions as to what frame suited my personality. Even other customers that were in the store felt encouraged to make comments and suggestions. Putting on glasses is almost like auditioning for a role in a play! The speed at which the glasses were ready for pick up was very satisfactory. I get so many compliments for the beauty of the frame. But more importantly I'm a satisfied customer who sees better and has fallen in love with my own eyes once again. Good eyesight is so important for a healthy state of mind.

Great variety and friendly service. Very happy with my prescription sunglasses. They even gave me the original lenses. Bonus!

This is one of the best optical places I have ever been to! Perry & Sheldon (the co-owners) were extremely helpful! I needed to order special polarized raybans after having LASIK and I had hunted all over the city because they were back-ordered. I went to College Optical and Sheldon ordered them for me and I had them within 3 days! I also had a lovely chat with Perry when I picked them up and learned about some of the really interesting work that they do (like fitting contacts for babies!). Both of these guys are really personable, patient and made an effort to get to know me, which was a nice change from some of the big box stores - I definitely got the sense that they love what they do. Highly recommend!

Love that if my daughter destroys her lenses or her prescription changes we are provided a free set of lenses during the 12 mth period post purchase! Service is always lovely too.

College Optical has been my go to for my daughters glasses for 9 yrs and I just brought my mother to them. Their service has always been no less than excellent.

They are incredibly patient and made my daughter totally relax as she learned how to use contact lenses. We have been using College Optical for my daughter because they are very good at what they do.

Great service as usual. My glasses and sunglasses came in very quickly. I always trust Suzy to give me the best advice when choosing new frames. I will definitely be back when I need a new pair!

My daughter recently went here to pick out some new glasses and frames. Once again, the owners and staff treated her with kindness, talked to her, and helped her find a pair that was just right. That’s why we go out of our way to be customers at this location.

Dana Mclaven

College optical is the ONLY place we go for our glasses! They are ALL the absolute Best. Best knowledge, best customer, best product. They have also done our Daugher’s glasses her entire life. Being a Sickkids Kid her scripts can often be quite unique and they never have an Issue making them! Always perfect. Not to mention we love Perry and Sheldon. But the entire staff is AMAZEBALLS! Look no further. If you need glasses this is Your place! ????

The staff at College Optical impressed me with their knowledge and helpful customer service. From the first time I walked in the store, I could tell that the staff really care about their customers, and that they are passionate about eyewear. They didn't mind me coming in a couple of times for "research visits", and helped to guide me in my decision. I had never had glasses before, so they educated me and answered all my questions. When it was time to decide on the lenses, they took the time to do an in-store trial of lenses that allowed me to experience the feeling of progressive computer distance and reading glasses. I ended up with a pair of glasses I'm really happy with. And they have a 1-year warranty, too. :)

After a long day in the opthamology clinic I was relieved to have such happy and refreshing people help me pick my sons glasses. They were patient with my son as he is only 2 and very straight forward with me when it came to my purchase. They didn't try to upsell me or push me to buy stuff I didn't need... They were fast and efficient and very, very kind! The nice part is they even offered to mail my sons glasses straight to my house when they were ready, which is great! They have my business going forward!
