"I have been a patient of Dr. Heeney since 2017, at the previous location. Each visit, I‘ve been impressed by how thorough the eye exams are, how much information is shared, and how I always leave with my questions answered, while understanding what I was told. I don’t have a difficult prescription, but I rely on my eyes for work and spend a great deal of time staring at screens. Dr. Heeney has always given me great advice on my eye health and on what to do when my eyes are tired and dry. This is in complete contrast to my first eye exam in the city, back in 2008, in a little office above an optical store. It was so short and rushed it could have been done in a drive-thru. I left not knowing I had astigmatism in both eyes. I recently went to Spadina Optometry for my 5th or 6th visit to get progressive lenses, which I had put off because so many people told me they hated theirs. I've had them for a week and I absolutely love them. They address the complaints I had with my sight. I briefly considered some cheap online options, since work has been slow lately, but ultimately I wanted quality lenses and things done properly. I had a great pair of frames that I wanted to use again. After an exam and a great discussion with the staff, I chose lenses based on what I needed and could spend. I always felt listened to and wish I had done this sooner. A family member got progressives at Costco last week, could not see properly, and has already returned them. I believe that you get what you pay for and that has been my experience here. I love that Spadina Optometry’s equipment is so up to date, I've never needed the awful dilating eye drops for them get good images of my eyes. I also like getting PDF’s of my invoice and prescription by email and a text when my glasses were ready. I always leave my appointments with Dr. Heeney feeling better, having had a nice chat and always having learned more about my eyes. I've referred several friends who had a great experience and are now also fans.
