Caution, dont go here
November 4, 2023

My glasses came after 4 weeks wait, with a flaw in one of the lenses. I emailed support and called their number, no answer. I have order from them before but nov 2023 looks like they may be folding up and dont talk to customers anymore.

Dollar store product
April 24, 2021

Took over a month to receive my prescription sunglasses. Very disappointed. One lens is glued so crookedly into the frames that you can see the top of the lens outside the frame. Extremely cheap looking & feeling. Disgusted that they cost $200 & look like I got them at dollerama.

* Took more than 1.5 months to deliver my order.
* Had to contact their customer service multiple times for various issues and follow up
* Had to pay Fedex import duty and then claim it. They won't handle all such things on their own
* Don't think I got a good rate either
* Lack of good return policy

Great value!
April 21, 2022

Optically glasses have proven to be great value, allowing me to carry a spare set in my golf bag and in my car. Ordering was simple, delivery prompt, and value incredible at about one third of other optical providers.

I ordered Jan. 20,2022, now they say March 9th before they arrive - from China! I can't purchase a pair locally without a refund and they won't provide one. I am suppose to wait until they arrive, ship back, then wait - I can't see and need glasses - not able to wait months for a refund, if they deem I'm worthy of one. I asked for refund before they were shipped, only getting a tracking # today (Mar. 3). Absolutely unacceptable business practices.

Worst pair of glasses that I've ever worn. I tried to return them, but I was told no, and was instructed to send them back to be 're-aligned'. I get that some lenses need to be set for the pupil, but goodness, the entire lens is blurry in all directions (multifocal lens) It actually seems like the lens Rx is incorrect. The clerk wouldn't listen, and only gave me the option to return to the Toronto office for repair.

Reglazed and happy
October 31, 2022

I had an old pair of wire framed glasses that is i had reglazed by optically. Have to say that I'm happy with the results in every way. The installation was good, the prescription seems correct. Would not hesitate to use their services again.

I have placed items for sale on UsedVictoria.com - I am -constantly- receiving scam emails from people giving the mailing address for Optically.ca in Ontario. What they do is they act interested, then say "Oh i need you to ship the item to someone in Ontario!" and each and every single time, they give their mailing address. What they do is they send you a faked Interact e-transfer, expecting you to ship before they release funds. Don't do it. All through gmail accounts (which have been reported) and all through faked Scotiabank e-transfers. It's all from an Ambler Drive address. Just stay clear. If you need glasses, go to a reputable site such as Clearly.ca or anywhere else BUT these folks. If they attempted to scam me, chances are they are scamming others as well. Just don't do it. Also heads up, banks do not require proof of shipping before sending money through e-transfer. Just, stay clear. If they can attempt to scam me, they will scam you.

Glasses
August 6, 2023

I purchased prescription glasses, but when they arrived the prescription was incorrect. After many emails I was offered a refund or my glasses remade. I opted for a refund so I returned the glasses. At this stage I haven't received a refund I'm hopeful I will. The original purchase was the 2nd of June 2023 so it has been a very drawn-out unpleasant experience. Buyer beware!

This was my first time buying glasses online. Amazingly easy. Great selection! Super fast processing and delivery! Affordable! My glasses are perfect! My insurance company processed my claim without question. This is the only way to buy eye wear.

Easy to use website, great communication from Optically. My glasses took longer than expected to arrive however my email queries were answered promptly and delivered by express courier packed excellently. I will never purchase from high street stores again.

Proper scam website
March 6, 2021

I actually ordered a pair of glasses two months ago and I haven't heard a thing from them - no confirmation, no order update nothing. They still charged me on my credit card the day after I ordered though so that's just fantastic. I don't know what the other reviewers are saying but as far my experience is concerned, I'd say it's a proper scam site. Do not recommend.

Satisfied
September 15, 2018

I had ordered 3 pairs of glasses from Optically for my Husband, my son and a sunglass for me. They were delivered to well packed in a week or 10 days time. I love the case they were sent. Will surely buy again.

I lost my glasses while I was travelling to Canada for work. I needed a pair desperately hence looked up online for a fast service. I came across many online suppliers however went with Optically as they offered a next day service and their prices were very low as compared to others. I received my glasses in about a weeks time and they are better than what I purchased from my Optometrist in UK.

I was very impressed with my glasses! They also broke a couple weeks after I received them and the company happily sent me a new pair without any problems at all! I was very happy! Wonderful quality and perfect customer service!

I have dealt with this Company on multiple occassions and each time has been a positive experience. I have received phone calls from their technicians asking questions and they were always polite and professional. Prices and service seem really good to me.

I was pleasantly surprised with the sunglasses I ordered from Optically. They look great and the prescription is perfect. As an airplane pilot, my glasses have to be correct and the bifocals I ordered are just that. I needed non-polarized sunglasses, which are difficult to get. But Optically delivered. I'm very happy.

The 100% refund guarantee is only for the frame and not on the lenses. My glasses though claimed to be made to the order were not perfect and was at first promised for full refund then denied claiming it was communicated in error. However after much persuasion they issued full refund at the end.

I've bought four pairs of glasses from Optically.ca - three for me, and one pair for my daughter. One pair of glasses arrived with an issue, a missing screw. When I contacted Optically, they immediately responded and sent out a new frame and a small tool kit to allow me to swap my lenses out of the initial frame. The combination of great customer service, great pricing, and great glasses has sealed the deal for me - I won't buy glasses anywhere else.
