Ivan is a 'full service' optician. He provides frames, lenses, accessories, etc. and is very knowledgeable about all of them, as well as about the industry in general. His inventory of frames (for men & women) is the best in Hamilton. His pricing is competitive and his service is very professional and personable. I can recommend "Specs by Ivan" without hesitation.

I can’t say enough great things about Specs by Ivan on the West Mountain in Hamilton. Ivan truly goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service — from the moment you walk in, he makes you feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. He has an amazing selection of eyeglass frames, prescription eyewear, and stylish sunglasses, there’s something for everyone. What really sets Ivan apart is the personal touch he brings to every visit. My family and I have been seeing him since his days in the old Walmart plaza, and we couldn’t be happier that he opened his own business, it’s so well-deserved. One of the biggest perks is how stress-free he makes everything. He even submits insurance paperwork for you, which takes so much pressure off the whole process. Thank you, Ivan, for always treating me and my family like your own. This place truly is the best, highly recommend to anyone looking for quality eyewear and exceptional service!
