“Fantastic Optical Store”

Nicole P.
11/2/20

This the place to go for stylish new specs in store or online. The digital retinal technology Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is cutting edge. Doctors are extremely knowledgeable and staff are very nice too! Excellent product choices and seamless shopping experience. Happy beyond expectation.

“Discoloration on the lens”

Gary C.
3/21/24

I bought a pair of sunglasses from clearly.ca. Visible discoloration at the edge of the lens. Customer service believes this is normal for polarized lenses. I don't have this issue on my other polarized pair from Costco. Has anyone seen this with your glasses?

The contacts came quickly and seem to be the usual kind that I get. However, I have had severe eye pain following using one pair. I threw out the pair thinking it was just that set and tried a new pair from the same box and am still having problems. Not sure what's wrong with the contacts but am very disappointed :(

Great experience. Very helpful and attentive. My eye exam was tops and the doctor did extra procedures that no other doctor did before. Very thorough. The one thing I have noted to them, with a trip back in after buying online, was that one set has a arm style that is quite sharp. Most of my glasses have a smooth tapered end, while these had no bevel. Resulting in the arms creating a sore on the inside of the ear closest to the head. They did adjust them but the pain is still there with the rubbing. I don't think online there is an option for what type of arms they are, before buying.

When we went to pickup my order the young man that served use could not find it. It took him three tries before the manager returned with my glasses.
The young man may have been new, but in the past, the young ladies always helped us quickly and never had a problem locating product in the store.

We ordered two glasses from this site, hassle free.
I have only one concern, the Ray-Ban sunglasses I received doesn't have Ray-Ban logo on top of the glass.
But the glasses were customized, so not sure whether it's a miss or what.

Angela C. – Clearly Rep

Thanks so much for the great review and feedback Syed! We'll be more than happy to clear this up for you, when you choose our custom quality prescription lenses, the lenses themselves will not have the Ray-Ban logo (just your Ray-Ban frames!) Ray-Ban branded lenses are only included when they're purchased as plain non prescription sunglasses. We hope this helps! If there's anything else we can assist with, please feel free to reach out to us! We look forward to 'seeing' you again soon! - Team Clearly

My prescription was written wrong- entirely human error on my part. When I got the wrong glasses, I contacted support and they offered me a full refund and applied my coupon code again. Wonderful customer service for such a big company. Thanks.

I always order this product from you. I've been wearing this product for year. This batch seemed to have a lot of faulty contact. They had tears or folds in them when I opened them. No fault of yours, it's the company.

Sandra V greeted my daughter and I at the Chinook store and was so welcoming. She helped me pick out my glasses and offered so many different suggestions and ideas. You really need to keep her around. She made my experience what it was, fantastic! I can't recommend her enough. She was so kind, funny, patient and just overall a great person. I highly recommend going in store to try the glasses on plus you get whatever promo is online, in store!

The experience was relatively easy, but I found the try on option a bit cumbersome. Pricing and results were good though. Delivery time is good. The only downside is that if glasses do not fit properly, you have to find someone to adjust them for you if you are not near a Clearly Outlet.

Hi Valerie, thank you for your review and feedback. We thank you for bringing this up to us! While the Try On View option is still relatively quite new to us, we're always working on it, and as such, we're always adding new frames as well. We'll be sure to pass this feedback along to the team for you. We also understand how important it is to find the perfect style of frames, and like clothing, eyeglasses are not a one size fits all type of product, so know the importance of having some fine tuning needed. We'll be more than happy to reach out with some options on which you can proceed with! - Team Clearly

Order was received in a timely fashion but not sure what is wrong with the contacts. I order often and have for a few years now. Too many of this batch (and the last) were not comfortable, they were either rolled in the package and seemed to get a crease or there was no visible defection but after only minutes were uncomfortable and had to be thrown out and wasted. This time the problem is with the -4.00 and last time it was a more of an issue with the -4.75.

I was a little skeptical about ordering something online that you put in your eyes. However, the orders were fast, correct and well worth it.
I love the eye candy. The marketing team is top notch! I will continue to get my lenses with you. I have been telling everyone about it. Thanks and I will SEE you later!

Ordered from Clearly when Costco eye clinic said they wanted me to get another eye exam before I could buy my old prescription contacts. I knew that my eyes haven't changed so I didn't want to waste 100$ on a exam again. Checked out clearly and ordered that day. Order came on time and contacts work great. Do recommend

Ordering and payment all went fine as usual. Upon receipt, I noticed that my glasses were crooked when I opened the box and retrieved the glasses from the black pouch they come in. The left wire frame was severely bent making them lopsided when I tried to wear them. The left side has a sharp bend in them and while they are usable, this is perfect.

Glasses came in when expected. Great quality. A little small but was expecting that. The payment process was confusing. Deposit, deposit returned without notification and then billed when shipped. Thought I was double charged.

Experience was good although I had made 2 appointments and both were cancelled the day of. Actually on my way to appointment. Very much had confidence in the doctor who I ended up visiting. Staff were excellent helping me with the choice of my glasses.

I have never ordered glasses online before so I was a bit hesitant, but they helped me out through the whole process via phone and email. The best part was my progressive prescription was right the first time!

Picked glasses online after dealing exclusively with a different online glasses company the last few years. Because of my son's unique prescription they were unable to satisfy the order and I checked elsewhere online one found clearly. Ordered once and the order was filed perfectly.

I was I'm properly fitted so when glasses arrived, there was no way they could successfully be adjusted to fit. So I had to reorder a different frame and go through the process again.
Not a happy customer.

I have ordered my contact lenses from Clearly for 2 years in a row now. They show up at my house just days after I place the order, and I find the prices to be better than other sites.
No problems with my lenses. I highly recommend Clearly!

Easy to navigate thru site to find what i want. Competitive prices. Was not in a rush to get my contacts so it was ok that i had to wait for out of stock items. Received in ample time and was notified promptly when one of the items needed to be restocked and will be late, and then again when it was mailed. Fast delivery once mailed, with tracking details.

I ordered 3 pairs of glasses and was shocked at the variety and how well priced they were (I like a certain shape and nose pads). Received all 3, and super happy with all of them! I've ordered from other online places before and was always disappointed. The quality of Clearly frames is awesome, and I seriously have to decide which one I want to wear each day as I love all 3 of them! Definitely purchasing from here again!

I ordered contacts the last week of November. I paid for quicker delivery.
My order was supposed to be delivered in early December. When my estimated delivery date had passed with no shipment notification or other communication, I reached out to customer service. They told me there had been delays from the supplier but they should be shipped out on the following Tuesday and that I would receive communication from support. Another week and a half went by with no communication so I reached out again. This time customer service again communicated there were delays from the manufacturer but should again ship out by Tuesday. Eventually I received the contacts I ordered - a month after I'd placed my order.
There was no indication when I ordered that there were potential supplier delays.
There was no communication from clearly that my order was delayed except when I reached out directly looking for updates.
I find all of that very frustrating and inconsiderate

The glasses are as described and look like they did in the virtual preview. The white arms are pretty and add a great accent. Shape is also unique and unlike the ones I've worn before. The individual reviews helped me choose this type of glasses for smaller faces.

The experience ordering this time was smooth although the time it took to receive the contact lenses was a bit slow (about 1 week and a half). I'm so used to 1 to 2 day delivery times from Amazon that 1.5 weeks feels long now. Otherwise, very good.
