North Shore Optical I had an amazing experience at North Shore Optical. Hamid, the owner, is truly one of the most professional and knowledgeable people in this industry. He pays incredible attention to detail and really knows how to help you choose the perfect frame. Their customer service is exceptional, the environment of the store is very comfortable and welcoming, and the selection of glasses from Gucci, Tom Ford, Ray Ban and many more is outstanding. On top of all that, their prices are very reasonable compared to many other optical stores in Vancouver. I highly recommend Hamid and his team if you're looking for quality eyewear and a great experience.

North Shore Optical Services offers a very welcoming and professional environment. Hamid and Ellie are very knowledgeable, really care about their work, and consistently provide exceptional service. When I went in last week, the repairs I needed were done quickly and skillfully, and they offered excellent advice for the new pair of glasses I wanted to get. This is the place to go for any eyewear needs.
