These glasses are made from recycled and recyclable materials, come in just about every colour you can think of, and you can mix and match them however you like. Oh, and they’re super affordable! But honestly, the best part? The service. Richard is always so helpful, and Nafisa was absolutely amazing today—seriously, they make the whole experience so easy and fun!

Walked into the location on Queen St., East with zero expectations. The staff was absolutely incredible. I’m sorry I can’t remember his name, but he was great answered all my questions gave me some time to check out My options helped me make some decisions and then it only took about 10 minutes and I had a fresh pair of prescription distance glasses as well as, non-prescription sunglasses! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back for different frame colours in the near future.
