What Our Patients Say

I have been going here for 30+ years. Optometrists have all been very professional, thorough and caring. I feel confident that they are looking after my eye health. Front end staff are all wonderful, in particular Meghan L who goes above and beyond to make sure you have the right glasses and are happy. Extremely patient with myself and hubby. A delightful young woman. Highly recommend this place and all their staff.

I have been looking for months for new glasses and possibly contacts! I came upon LIFETIME EYE CARE and went in to take a look, not expecting to purchase, but to check out the selection! Initially, I wasn't interested in talking to any staff or hearing what they had to say (as I felt up until now I had heard it all) until I was greeted by a lovely and very knowledgable woman named, Cindy Rabb! I, immediately felt I was in good hands, it was crazy how comfortable I felt! We chatted a bit and I listened. Cindy's knowledge about eyeglasses and contacts was phenomenal, but also she had shocked me by her taste in eye fashion and what would look good on me; seriously, she is truly impeccable at what she does! From the moment, Cindy began to help me I knew I was going to purchase from this store! She knew exactly what would look great on my face right away, from the colour of the frame to the eyeglass shapes that would suit me! I tried on a bunch that I chose, and none of my choices compared to the very first pair she picked for me? The frames she chose were the ones that I ended up buying! Cindy continued to surprise me with her knowledge of the choices for quality and comparisons of the different types of the lens! The pros and cons of lens options in the past have been so daunting, but Cindy really made me feel, not only confident but comfortable, that I was getting both quality and fair pricing. She appreciated that I had a budget, and I felt confident that I was got the best bang for my buck! Cindy was friendly and relaxed, I didn't once feel like I was dealing with a salesperson but rather someone truly interested and invested in my well being and wanting to be sure I walked away loving my new glasses! This isn't my first rodeo, I have been wearing glasses for 20 years, and never in all my eyeglass shopping experience have I felt so great about my eyeglass and lens choices! Another thing to mention is I haven't had a pair fit me nor have I seen so clearly, these lens she advised me to pick are exceptional! As long as Cindy is there you have a client for life! The fit is perfect and I get compliments daily on how youthful and smart they make me look. Thanks, Lifetime Eye Care, but especially Thanks Mrs. Cindy Rabb, for the most wonderful service, and customer care you provided me, you went above and beyond, thanks again, I will be back for my next pair in a couple of years. If you want quality service, Cindy is your Lady!! I have read some of the other reviews and it is too bad, they didn't deal with Cindy, there experience and reviews would most definitely have changed...

A shout out to Denise H. who works on the front desk. Kudos to her professionalism: when she called to rebook my appointment, instead of feeling chagrined at the change she presented options and made it work. I was impressed with her ability to seamlessly create a workable solution for me. It’s a rare trait these days. Then I meet her again after my appointment the following week and she was exceptional at assisting me in navigating the insurance end of things. Again kudos to Denise H.

I had been having sight issues for about three days and on a Monday morning I went to their office looking for help. I found a friendly, efficient, helpful and professional staff that made sure I was to see the doctor later that day. The equipment they have is second to none. The doctor was very pleasant, and everyone made me feel at ease! I for sure will be a permanent client of this lovely place! Thank you for such good care! Roberta

I have been to three different opticians, in recent weeks. The service we received from Cathy Roberts, is definitely the best of all. I definitely recommend this establishment because of her.

I am a repeat customer of Peninsula Lifetime Eyecare Centre. The staff is friendly and professional. Dr Cheng is patient and thorough. I like how they use the latest in technology for their tests. When it came to choosing frames, Ashley was very knowledgeable about the product. I always recommend them to others.
