    Insight is an incredible place. They have a wonderful selection of frames, lenses, contacts, etc., and they can handle challenging situations and requirements for eye care. The staff are top-notch – from the optometrists, to the opticians, to the folks who welcome you and book your appointments. Great service, attention to detail, and customer care are the focus here.

    My family and I have been coming to Insight Eye Care for years. Every experience with the staff and optometrists has been wonderful. They recently went above and beyond for my daughter who had an eye infection with last minute appointments over the holiday season. Highly recommend.

    Tremendous support picking out an awesome pair of glasses. I loved the frames and progressive lenses so much, I came back for two more pairs!! Thank you to Michelle for patience and amazing taste in helping me pick out the best looks. Who says progressives aren’t cool?

    This place is the very best when it comes to amazing, unique and styled for you glasses and sunglasses. The team is great and easy to work with and generally 10x more knowledgeable than any other generic glasses shop you'll find.

    Fantastic experience. Celine was a gem and helped us choose unique and fun frames that felt like us. They're beyond professional, they make a personal connection too. They know their product and have really helpful advice.

    Despite unexpectedly running out of monthly contact lenses, Owen's exceptional service truly stood out. With remarkable efficiency and precision, he and his team expedited my order. Owen’s dedication made a pivotal difference in resolving my urgent need, showcasing an exemplary commitment to customer satisfaction. The exceptional support from the Insight Team deserves commendation.

    I have been purchasing my eyewear at Insight since 2017 and this clinic is simply wonderful! Attention to detail and going the extra mile they do it every day!! So when we moved 4.5 hours away from Waterloo I contacted them by email with my new prescription and once again Fred made it work seamlessly. Great lenses, great frames. Fred, you are the best!! Thank you!
