OPTO V Lunetterie & Clinique in Montreal pretty much has all your eye care needs covered. They offer comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, myopia control, and even glaucoma assessments. 

If you’ve got kids under 18 or seniors over 65 with a valid RAMQ card, you’ll be happy to know they do free eye exams, which helps save some cash. 

We’re also fans of their online booking system because it’s available 24/7, making it easy to schedule an appointment without any hassle. Plus, their emergency eye care service ensures you’ll be seen quickly if something urgent arises.

On top of that, they have an in-house optical lab, which means faster turnaround times for new glasses or lens upgrades. We also found their staff to be friendly and helpful, making the frame selection process way less overwhelming. 

Just note that they’re closed on weekends, which can be tricky if you’re busy during the week. But overall, their mix of services and convenient booking system makes them a great option if you can visit during weekdays.

No-pressure environment 

“I loved my experience at OptoV and without hesitation would recommend it to others. I appreciated how Dr.V and her team examined my eyes in a way that left me satisfied and confident that I got a complete and pertinent eye exam. When it came to finding a pair of glasses, the team was patient and helped me find a pair that suited my face and fit what I envisioned. All of this was in a no-pressure environment which was really refreshing and spoke for itself. Needless to say, I’ll be going back next time!”

HARINA Optométristes in Montreal has adopted AI technology for their eye exams, offering a more modern approach. The AI helps provide more accurate results and can detect issues like cataracts or retinal detachment earlier, making the entire process smoother and quicker.

The patients we chatted with talked about how approachable Dr. Harina is, which makes the whole experience feel less like a medical exam and more like a casual chat.

It’s also reassuring that the clinic offers evaluations for eye emergencies, especially if you suddenly experience something like floaters or flashes. They’re open every day of the week, making it easy to squeeze in an appointment, even if weekdays are hectic. 

However, if you’re planning to try on frames, you’ll need to book a specific appointment, which some people might find a bit restrictive. On the flip side, it means you get undivided attention during your visit. 

All in all, HARINA is great if you’re looking for a blend of advanced tech and a personal touch in your eye care.

Professional and pleasant

We like that Klar Vision has an in-store lab that can whip up single-vision glasses in about an hour, which is ideal if you’re short on time. 

The variety of eyewear they offer is pretty wide, from designer frames to more budget-friendly options, so you’re likely to find something that fits both your style and your wallet. 

From what we’ve seen, their team is knowledgeable and can guide you through choosing the right frames and lenses. But they’re closed on Sundays, so plan if weekends are your only free time. 

And while most people appreciate their speedy service, there have been some reports of longer-than-expected wait times, even if you have an appointment. This could be a bit frustrating if you’re on a tight schedule. 

On the bright side, they frequently run promotions on frames and contact lenses, which can help keep costs down. If you’re someone who values a good range of eyewear choices, Klar Vision is worth checking out.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable 

“The most professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff & optometrists you will ever meet. This Klar Vision store is the definition of 10/10 customer service and care! They genuinely care about their clients. Bravo to the entire team!”

ROCKLAND EYE is a good choice if you’re looking for a thorough eye exam in Montreal. They use advanced equipment like retinal photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to get a clear picture of your eye health. 

We noticed that they handle eye emergencies, too, so if you’re dealing with something unexpected, they can accommodate you. Plus, if you’re in the market for stylish eyewear, they offer a selection of luxury frames from independent brands—perfect if you’re after something unique.

One thing to note is that they exclusively use Zeiss lenses, which many customers seem to like for the clarity they offer. 

But here’s the thing—they’re closed Sundays and Mondays, so you’ll need to work around that. And unlike some other clinics, they’re not part of the RAMQ program, meaning everyone, including kids and seniors, will have to pay for their exams. 

If that’s not a deal-breaker for you, it’s definitely worth it for the top-notch service and stylish eyewear options they provide.

Very accommodating 

“My family have been seeing Susan and Angela for almost 10 years. They gave my son his first pair of glasses and have taken great care of him, and us, over the years. Whenever we need an “emergency” appointment, they are always very accommodating. We rely on their good tastes and recommendations when selecting a pair of frames.They are very kind and caring and I know my family’s eyes are in good hands”

Fantastic optometrist 

“Fantastic optometrist. Amazing selection of frames and high-quality lenses. They are quick to respond to emails and any concerns or issues I might have. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Vision 770 in Montreal is all about making eye care affordable and straightforward. They’ve got some great perks like free fittings, cleanings, and repairs, which is handy if you’re trying to save a bit. 

Another highlight is that if you’ve got kids or seniors in the family, they’re covered for eye exams through RAMQ. And there’s a sweet $300 reimbursement for kids’ glasses if you’ve got insurance, which can be a huge help.

We also like that their staff are approachable and speak multiple languages like Spanish, English and French, making the whole experience a lot more welcoming. 

However, their eye care services are a bit more limited compared to other clinics in Montreal, so if you need specialized testing, you might have to go elsewhere. Also, they’re closed on weekends, which could be a downside if weekdays are too packed for you. 

Nonetheless, for straightforward, affordable eye care with friendly service, Vision 770 ticks a lot of boxes.

Excellent treatment

“Excellent treatment from the employees, they are attentive to what you are looking for, attentive to what you need, they offer you their professional knowledge if you don’t know exactly what to ask for. They also speak Spanish, English, French. Their employees make this place EXCELLENT.”
