“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?

I didn't know what I was doing, trying to order my contacts. So I hit the chat button and had the best customer service. He set everything up for me and about 3 days later my contacts arrived. The emails sent confirming my order, the delivery date and official receipt for my benefits were also awesome.
Well done Clearly!

I input the wrong prescription and called to do an exchange. The representative walked me through the process and we have the correct glass on the way in no time. My son loves being able to see so clearly ( ;)) now.

Received my order in 2 days time, and it was as ordered. Tried a new brand of lenses and found them super comfortable.
The packaging was really nice too. Happy with this order, and will order again from here too.

I used to order contacts through an optometrist and it would take forever. Clearly contacts made it simple and easy and the delivery was quick.
The customer service is top notch. These folks know their stuff and are very helpful

This was my first experience with Clearly. My prescription is pretty heavy so had been hesitant to order online. The suggestions provided for frames that "work" with my prescription was very helpful. Glasses arrived quickly and fit perfectly. Very happy with purchase and will be ordering from Clearly again.

Everyone there was super professional and helpful and kind from beginning to end. The process was so easy! I found out about this program just in time as my daughter is turning 11 soon. I had just purchased glasses for her 6 mths before and she already needed a new prescription. I'm very thankful for this opportunity and appreciate Clearly Glasses' generosity and this program!

The first pair I ordered were wrong in many ways (including my selection) but with Mo's expert help the second pair were great - they are difficult progressives. And less tha a third of what i have paid in the past.

The website is quite good and the staff are even more amazing in person. They really accomodated us when we wanted to try out different styles and they gave us very personalized advice since I needed to do housework and not as much time before screens.

Had quite the extensive journey getting contacts for the first time! I'd tried a few at my optometrist but due to the pandemic felt more comfortable ordering online. I spoke to about 5 different representatives, all of which were incredibly patient and fun to talk to! There were a few complications by no fault of anyone but technology and miscommunication but it was handled perfectly!

I received my complete order. While my glassed were perfect, my wife is having difficulty seeing properly with hers. She has already visited your retail store in our city for an adjustment, but continues to experience difficulties. She will continue to wear, and may need to visit your store again for further adjustments.

Experience was good, but I didn't realize that there needs to be a specific contact prescription. I put in my eye prescription for bifocal contacts and I am having a very hard time seeing up close for reading. Apparently this should be adjusted for contacts? I may get glasses online in the future but will not be getting contacts online again.

Thank you for your feedback, Amanda. We're sorry to hear that these contact lenses did not working out. Unfortunately, your contact lens prescription tends to vary from your glasses prescription as the lenses sit directly on your eye vs. 1-2mm for your eye. We recommend consulting your eye care professional before trying a new product. They will measure the diameter and base curve of your eye and give you trial lenses based on your contact lens fitting, medical history, and eye exam. We apologize for any confusion! If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to us through Live Chat or at 1 866 414 2326. We are more than happy to help! - Team Clearly

It was a seamless experience to order my lens pack from Clearly. The same pack of lenses is sold at a higher rate at retail stores. I'm glad I ordered my pack online with them and will definitely continue to do so. If you know your prescription, you would not face any issues. The delivery was pretty fast too. I got my pack within a week in spite of Covid.

Ordering from clearly was crazy simple. My order arrived the next day! Everything was packaged with care. I could tell that it wasn't just tossed into a $#*!ty box, then kicked down the hallway and used as a puck for the shipping guys street hockey tournament.

Anyway, really happy with my experience and will continue to order from clearly in the future.

Hi, I received my eyeglasses four to five weeks ago. I was thrilled to have them! It just took me a few days to get used to this new prescription. It is great! However, there is something that is new to me: these eyeglasses are slipping down my nose. Could you please tell what I could do to avoid it? Because of the pandemic, I am not allowed to go to an eyeglasses store to have them fixed. I would really appreciate your help and I do thank you all for such great service. God bless you.

First time buying contacts online. I usually get a my yearly prescription renewal through my optometrist but with COVID this year I didn't have my appointment. I was running low and on advice from a friend placed an order with Clearly. It was easy to figure out which contacts were for me, the price was cheaper than what I normally pay and the shipping was quick. Will do it again.

I ordered contacts that were listed on their website as available and were supposed to ship in 5 days. After purchasing I received an email saying that the product was on back order and that my estimated delivery date was in over a month away (I would've cancelled the order at this point, but I did not have the time or energy to call to do so). If I knew they were just ordering from the supplier and it was going to take a month and a half, I would've just gone to Costco instead. They automatically offered me a $10 off coupon for the delay, but the coupon expires in 3 months from issue, so not very useful. Just go to Costco instead.

Very smooth experience, the glasses looks great and is high quality. Looks better than the tool.
The return policy was reassuring since sometimes glasses are made and not quite right, but in this case didn't need that since the glasses come perfectly.
Given how easy this is, never going to do glasses shop again.

Very good experience through the whole process but noticed that the right eye lense is not correct. Can't see clearly on the right eye.
I gave it a bit of time thinking that I had to adapt to new glasses but no improvement
Can you please tell me if this can be corrected,

Thanks in advance

I have used this brand of contacts for many years, so there are no surprises about how good they are. I like them, I find they fit me very well. The order and delivery was very quick, and it was much faster and cheaper than getting them in person. I will do this again.

Since the pandemic started I've began using clearly to get my contacts delivered to my home. Quick shipping and it was very easy to find my contacts on the website. Invoice was provided so I could submit to my insurance provider for reimbursement. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them so far so I recommend them to anyone considering placing an order.

I had emailed cc before I bought as the frames I originally wanted were out of stock. The person who replied was very helpful and suggested alternates. My glasses arrived quickly and were exactly what I was hoping they would be and at a great price.

I returned my first pair of glasses which was a super easy and smooth process, and got a new pair which is a much better fit for me. Clearly made it very simple and quick and they were extremely pleasant to deal with.

Good - timely delivery. Happy with lenses, a little disappointed with the frames, a bit flimsy and tend to slide down.

Samuel helped me in an efficient and timely manner. I especially liked the ability to return the original pair free of charge with shipping label provided. I liked the new pair so much I ordered the same prescription in sunglasses. Your service is extraordinary and much appreciated!
