GEDE KJCHBJHJ HTDKHGV… Oops, forgot to wear my glasses, I guess after a month I’m still getting used to this. I was a tough sad that after 28 years I came to the realization that I’m getting older and my frequent migraines were caused by eye strain and that I would need eye glasses :(
There are many boutique eye glass vendors but on this occasion I wanted to go somewhere with a trusted name in the industry (and who wouldn’t charge me an arm and a leg for an exam and if needed glasses).
I ventured to the Aurora location and made an appointment to have my eyes examined the very next day and when I arrived I was examined by Dr. V Gupta. He was totally professional and efficient, and explained every step of the process so I was comfortable. The verdict came down that I required corrective lenses for distance, night time driving and when working in front of a screen (ah yes… I tend to do that last one a bit being an employee of an internet/​social media company).
The next step in the process was choosing my «new look» and Ryan the sales guy in the show room was patient and helpful. Taking me through all my options and understanding my slight bit of self consciousness.
Prices were fair and I ended up going with a pair of rectangle thick frame Ray bans with Nikon lenses (apparently a superior lens). I was assured that I’d have my glasses within a week (5 days to be specific) however it took nearly 10 days, so for this reason and this reason alone, they lose the extra star. Perhaps it was an issue where the glasses were being made but the extra time without my glasses was not anticipated and frustrating.
All in all a great experience and I love my new glasses. Thanks to the staff @ Hakim Aurora
