Canadian Opticians

[johnnyoptical]

Hello OptiBoarders,

I am trying to find a great optician in or near Oakville, Ontario. I am in Tennesse and have a customer who lives in Oakville. He visited me and purchased several pair. He has since called back and ordered more. The problem with this arrangement is, when he recently ordered a Kate Spade drill mount sunglass for me he could not find anyone near him who could adjust the frame to stay on his face. He mailed them back to me and I was amazed to see what simple measure needed to be taken to take care of his problem. While I am more than happy to help my customer, I firmly believe there are some great opticians no only in Canada as a whole, but in his specific area. If anyone out there knows any names or shop locations, I will steer him in that direction. I realize I may lose some business, but it seems the right thing to do for my patient.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Is he anywhere near SHERBROOKE

I am totally unfamiliar with Ontario geography. I can do some web browsing and see if I can't find out for you. Thanks.

I was a resident of Oakville, Ontario, Canada from 1983 until 1994. Oakville is near the city of Toronto. Both are in the province of Ontario.

If you take a look at the Great Lakes, Toronto and Oakville are both located on the shores of Lake Ontario.

The Sherbrooke that you mention is probably Sherbrooke in the province of Quebec.

If you need anything else answered, please reply to my new e-mail address Coolspecs2@hotmail.com. I will reply promptly.

Hmmm what's the problem with these "Kate Spade drill mount sunglasses" that Opticians here can't figure out?
Actually I've never dealt with that Line.

Personally the only rimless models that I'm really familiar with are the Silhouettes and Swissflex and I find them to be fairly easy to adjust.

Email me and I'd be glad to help,

P.S. I live 10mins away from Oakville and work another 30mins away (on a good traffic day).
