I’d forgotten about fashion. All glasses are functional but what do they do for your appearance? Anusheh gave me some options that were outside of my comfort zone but I’ve been getting compliments non stop from family and strangers. Thanks Anusheh!

Had another great visit at Hakim Davis Drive and Leslie Street in Newmarket. This time we were greeted and helped by Cem. What a pleasure it was dealing with him. We took advantage of their sale they have on and my daughter bought 3 pairs of glasses for an amazing price. Thank you again Cem and Hakim Optical.

What a fantastic experience from start to finish at Hakim optical! From the incredibly friendly service from Dorret and Michelle, who clearly have a ton of experience, to the fantastic final product, you won't find better! I started off by going to Costco to have sunglasses turned into prescription clear glasses, and Costco flat out refused to do them and said it wasn't possible, yet Dorret and Michelle knew right away it could be done and who exactly at the lab needed to take care of it. Not to mention they also gave me a great price!Very highly recommended!

Dorret is very helpful but doesn't make you feel any pressure, so it was comfortable to try around many glasses and take time to decide. Both she and Michelle helped me patiently to make the glasses fit when I went to pick the glasses up. It was such a good experience.

They were so helpful. I needed to change lenses, they did one set for me so nicely and quickly. And directed me to another shop down the street to get another set of Ray Bans since they couldn't provide the replacement brand lenses. They called the other shop and inquired for me. Thank you to the two ladies at Hakim.

Great customer service by Dorret #148. I really appreciate top service by her. I went to the store July 19, 2022 at around 5 pm. Just broke my sunglasses which i had since 2018, but she knew exactly which ones they were by looking at them. They were Bolles which i believe had been discontinued. She went through her box of Bolles which they were there. She looked the number up and called another store which was at Mavis and Britania which said they had one pair left, to make sure they were the ones she ask that store if they could send a picture of the glasses to make sure they were the ones. Well they were ans she asked them to send it to her store and she told me they should be here tomorrow July 20th. Well they came to her store she called me , and with in 15 minute she had the old lenses which were prescription poped out and put in the new frames. Thank you Dorret for great service and i will be recommending my family and friends to come to your store. Hope you stay safe and all the best.

So far I've done a few lenses plus frames with them, I'm VERY HAPPY with the results, they have a great taste and know exactly what makes me look and feel better, plus the work they put on their lenses is outstanding!I highly recommend this place; as an artist to me is very important that what I wear has a high quality and fits me...you will definitely get that with them!

Took my mother for an eye exam and find a comfortable glasses. They took the time during the eye exam since she has alot going on in her eyes. We also went through many options of glasses to see which she liked. All the staff were so friendly, courteous and extremely helpful, whilst taking all safety precautions during this crazy time.

This is actually 2 reviews in 1.Around 5 months ago I required wearing glasses once again (many years glasses free from laser eye surgery) and my thanks to all the previous reviewers - choosing this location near my home was an easy choice.Sapna and Dorret are awesome. They helped me choose out a pair of reading glasses and sun glasses, going through all the options and why I should choose them.You also get the warm feeling that if you ever need to stop in - as I do time to time - for a quick adjustment and screw tightening - they are happy to see you.I decided 2 months ago to pick up a second pair of sun glasses for sport activities. Visiting Dorret and Sapna again we discussed all options and with the promo pricing they had on, for only few dollars more I picked up a second reading pair of glasses (as a backup set) versus buying just the sun glasses.When the glasses came in - the sun glasses had a small issue - the combination of the tint, colour and polarization made the view through them much brighter than I hoped.We discussed the options, figured out why it was happening and sent the frame back. Dorret worked with the head of the lab where the glasses are made and called me to follow up to ensure we made the best choice possible.With a colour change on the front, I received my new second sun glasses with exactly the view from within I was expecting (matching my original set) and I couldn't be happier.With so many choices within a 30 minute drive, I am thankful to have found such a highly rated location and the many 5 star reviews are well deserved. My thanks to Dorrett and Sapna for their excellent customer service.

Sapna of Hakim Optical served me. She was friendly, knowledgeable & answered all my questions regarding glasses. I bought 3 glasses although when I entered the store I wanted to only buy 2 reading glasses. The extra one I purchased was long distance. I have to say customer service was excellent! I will always buy glasses form Hakim Optical. Thank you Sapna!

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Sapna at Hakim Optical, located in Argentia Road, Mississauga. This was my second time in the store after Dec'18 and she recognized me when I reached out to the counter. Her exemplary customer service skills together with her eye for detail were the reason, I used Hakim again. The first pair of lenses have the perfect clarity and am hoping it will repeat again.

Was able to try on many different frames, and the worker was patient and informative. Very helpful and understanding when a competitor gave me the wrong prescription, and was able to switch the lens. Unfortunately, the prescription is still wrong on my new glasses, but Hakim is not at fault. I will be coming back here whenever I need new glasses from now on, and hopefully I can find an optician that is good.
