You get a thorough eye exam from Dr. Tao. The office has up to date equipment and the office staff are lovely. You can trust that your vision is well cared for.

Knowledge, friendly staff and really cutting edge equipment. I have never had an issue with booking, billing, or insurance. The clinic is very clean and the equipment is sterilized between uses. My family and I have seen both Dr Simons and Dr Chin, and they are both fantastic. They are very thorough and take the time to review your scans and explain everything. The technicians and the doctors are also great with kids. My son is neurodivergent with signifigant sensory issues, and has never had any problems during his exams.

Friendly and efficient service. Advanced and technological machines for accurate diagnosis. Dr. Victor Chin is extremely competent, meticulous, and friendly. I had a great experience and thank Saanich Optometry for the effectiveness in designing my RGP contact lenses.

This was my first pair of glasses, and I’ll admit I acted a bit dramatic when I picked them up - the nice lady was very patient while I questioned why anyone would want to see like this. She kindly explained I just needed time to adjust, and she was absolutely right. A week later, the difference is incredible. Everything is so sharp and detailed, it’s like seeing in HD for the first time in a long time. They even followed up a week later to make sure I was doing okay with them, which I really appreciated. Excellent service. Many star review. Would recommend sight.

So grateful for Dr Simon. He’s been my eye doctor since I moved into the neighbourhood. Yesterday I got some toxic plant sap in my eye, and Dr Simon was able to see me quickly and helped resolve the issue quickly and efficiently. He was also generous with his billing . If I’d had to go to emergency, I would have been in pain for hours! Thanks to the team at Saanich Optometry!

Dr. Simons and the rest of the team are all so wonderful! They are super helpful, informative, explains what’s going on with my eye health and very kind. They make sure you get quality care and shows you your options for glasses and contacts. It was my first time there today as a new client and definitely having this place as my primary optometrist from now on! I would recommend anyone looking for a new optometrist to go see Dr.Simons and the team!

Dr. Simons is a true professional. He is patient, explains everything well and truly cares if you have questions or concerns during any of the eye exam process! Really great team surrounding him here as well.

Updated review of Saanich Optometry: Still 5 stars! I recently had a horrible irritation of my right eye and Dr. Simmons came in on his day off and after hours to have a look at my eye. He treated me with some drops and some special care instructions to heal up my eye. He was very thorough with the exam and followed up the next day and again the following week to make sure my eye was healing. Their location in Saanich Plaza is also convenient with easy in and out of the plaza and plenty of parking both above ground and underground. Thanks again Dr. Simmons!
