Have been seeing Norm, Louise and the team at Sparks & Feros for over ten years now for all my optical needs and eye tests. Always professional, detailed and caring and ensures I am purchasing glasses or contacts that are tailored exactly to my vision needs. Would not go anywhere else!

Just had my eyes checked in the afternoon on Christmas Eve. The woman who checked my eyes was so wonderful, the level of customers service and enthusiasm was really appreciated, considering most would be trying to hurry home to their families. Such a positive experience!

I had the best experience! I wanted an eye test and they could book me in only 30 minutes from the time I arrived.I needed the glasses made straight away. The optometrist (Norm) and dispenser (Amin) were pleasant, helpful and I got my lenses made in ONE HOUR. Also blown away by their technology. Great experience for me who is pretty indecisive. Thanks to the team.
