Hakim Optical began more than 40 years ago with Mr. Hakim grinding lenses for the Canadian wholesale market. His craft was learned, as a youth, in his native Iran and honed, in subsequent years, grinding lenses in Germany and then camera lenses in Switzerland.Attracted by the excitement of retail opportunities, Mr. Hakim began to pass the great deals he gave to wholesalers on to the public.Today Hakim Optical serves the public with 157 outlets (including 137 one hour factory outlets) in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba.more...See more text
When you get your glasses and it's a complex prescription as far as the kind of frame you need for the lenses. Make sure you know exactly what will work for you. Unfortunately I had to learn in a costly way what frames are right for my prescription. Now I know and it cost me $748 plus a new set of glasses that I have to get.
I have been using Hakim Optical for about 10 years now to fill my prescriptions for glasses and they have always given me excellent service. The frames are very stylish and I most times end up buying 2 at the same time with the many deals they have. I have become friends with the staff, in particular Vicky, who is very charming and gives me excellent customer service. For the short time I have know Pat, she has been wonderful in terms of customer service.I recommend Hakim Optical to everyone.
