    Tam is able to make the unfixable- fixable! I was devastated when the arm of my expensive Dior Sunglass broke. I went to several places who said there is no way to fix them. I read the reviews for Tam Optical and I was impressed with the work he has been able to do. I sent him pictures of the damage and he quoted a price. I brought them in a few days later and he used a micro welding machine on them and they are now fixed! He also adjusted them so they sit perfectly on my face. Thank you Tam!

    Tam repaired 2 pairs of our glasses in a day and the quality is great! He patiently answered my son’s questions; now he is happy with his fixed glasses. We recommend him to anyone who need to repair glasses.

    Highly recommended! One of the nose pads on my glasses had come loose, so I reached out to Tam. I dropped off my glasses an hour after our initial text exchange. He cleaned the frame and replaced both nose pads in 15 minutes. The entire process was very smooth and contactless to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Overall, Tam is very nice, knowledgeable, and professional. I would recommend his service to anyone in need!

    Tam is the man. After visiting several other shops (who claimed that repairing my frames wouldn't be possible), I went to see Tam. Within 2 hours, he was able to re-attach the arm that had popped out and fixed the hinge of the other arm as well. He was kind, courteous, and professional to deal with. He even took time to make sure the frames were aligned with my face. Pricing was fair given the turn-around time (same-day) and convenience. If you're looking to get your glasses fixed in Scarborough, look no further.

    High Quality Repair and Amazing Customer Service. I'm completely satisfied with the repair work done on my glasses for a fair price. Quick text communication that is clear and concise in regards to consultation. Went above and beyond in providing advice and high level of expertise in regards to glasses fit with genuine care for their customers. Will visit again and highly recommend for others to come here.

    I had issues with rimless glasses I purchased online. Tam took the time to repair them, and have them properly fitted to my face. My glasses now feel like brand new. Excellent service, would recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Joanne C. 7 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    I came here to get nose pads/arms added to frames that I bought online that kept sliding down my nose. They were also too tight and not the best fit. Without my mentioning, Tam saw these issues and gave me a custom fit at no extra charge, adjusting everything to the most perfect fit and comfort level. That alone was worth the visit. I was also impressed with the nose pads/arms install - looks so nice and elegant. Now, I absolutely love my glasses, and with all the other problems gone, I am beyond elated. Tam is a magician! Thank you! Highly recommend because Tam went the extra distance to optimize the fit of my glasses until it was just right. He also took the time to explain and educate, and cares that you’re an informed consumer. This place also has quite a nice selection of frames to choose from if you’re looking to buy glasses.

  • 5/5 Miranda N. 1 year ago on Google
    So glad for Google to have found this place. I really love my frames and the metal rim snapped on me. I thought they were not salvageable. Then I googled DIY methods and knew I couldn’t fix them myself but then I came across this Google result and was so happy to have found it!! He was ready to have it fixed in 1.5 hours (but I was busy so picked them up the next day)! And when I picked them up, they looked like they were never broken! He also took the time to make sure my glasses fit properly on my face before letting me leave. I would totally recommend this place for your eyeglass repair needs :). To some the price may be a bit more than they’d like, but when you really love your glasses, it’s well worth it!

    Absolutely amazing repair. Very professional, great communication and very fast!! I needed an arm pad repair and he replaced both pads in a gold colour to match my glasses and they looked AMAZING! Deep clean and tune up was included and now my glasses sit very sung and firm on my face, no more sliding or loose feelings anywhere. 10 out of 10 recommend 👍👍👍

    I broke off the arm of my Silhouette frameless glasses. Called all over town for an emergency repair. Tam was the only one who communicated directly with me. He’s a specialist for Silhouette repairs. I was able to bring in my frames and get them repaired in an hour. Tam was really helpful and informative, recommending easy-to-fix frames for back up glasses for travel. Highly recommend.

    Amazing service! Took my sunglasses to be repaired as they were all crooked. Tam was quick and the glasses look amazing- even better than before. You can send him a text before with a picture of what needs to be repaired and he will let you know what it costs and how long it will take. Will be back.

    Very pleasant experience having my glasses repaired. One of the arms snapped off and Tam was able to fix it and I got it back in under 1 hour. I was very thankful and happy that he could fix it and that he did it right away. Service was excellent.

    Tam did an amazing job fixing my sunglasses that were once squashed, and he did it for a great price and literally fixed it in under 10-15 minutes and cleaned my glasses also, they feel even better on my face compared to when I bought them they feel like they will never fall off or be loose. I definitely recommend him to anybody looking to fix their glasses! he’s the guy to go for sure!!

    Tam was able to repair my Hugo Boss metal frame eyeglasses (broken hinge) and restore them as good as new. An extra bonus was the excellent attention in adjusting the nose pads and arms to ensure an optimal fit. Excellent communication, explaining exactly what needed to be done. I highly recommend Tam for all of your eyeglass repair needs. He also stocks a good selection of frames for those that may need a new set of eyeglasses or sunglasses. FIVE STAR all the way!

    This place was fantastic, the optician was insanely helpful and efficient. I broke my glasses this morning and had it repaired within the hour, he also helped me adjust the frames so it would be more comfortable moving forward and performed the ultrasonic cleaning so they would be easier to clean in the future. I will be going here for all my glasses needs from now on.

    This is the best place to repair glasses from my experience. I got my glasses fixed in this store and is very satisfied. I bought the glasses 30 years ago and it is the only one that I feel comfortable with. Since the difference between my two eyesight is nearly 400 degree and I am not comfortable to any new lenses. The lenses of my glasses are very fragile and the frame is uniquely design that could not be replaced. Now the glasses got fixed and I am wearing the glasses happily all the time.

    Had a severe emergency. My husband broke his glasses the day before leaving on a trip to Europe. Checked emergency eye-glass repair stores, found Tam's, contacted him at 10pm, got an immediate reply and we were in his store this morning at 11am. Tam fixed the problem right away and corrected the glasses to fit properly. All this for a very reasonable price. A fit of a distance from where we live, but we will definitely go see Tam in the future for all our eye glass needs.

    I had two favorite eyeglasses that were broken. One had a clear break in the metal near the hinge, another had the spring pop out of the hinge. I was sure that both were not repairable. They are now fixed and like new. Tam was very responsive to email and texts. He was very kind in person. The repair cost was fair and reasonable. I highly recommend. Thank you Tam for repairing my two broken eyeglasses. You are truly a masterful craftsman.

    After years of getting my glasses at Loblaws, I dropped by Tam's Optical just to get my eye exam, with the intention of filling the prescription on-line (who doesn't care about price?) One week later, I walked out with a pair of new (transition, progressive) glasses on my nose (at internet price) My sight is better now than when I was 20 years old You wouldn't believe how many measurements Tam takes to make you believe your OWN eyes again! Truly professional! and super nice

  • 5/5 Anil Kumar S. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Wow! I am so happy with the service and quality of work being done. I had my 3 eyeglasses repaired/fixed at very affordable and reasonable price. Mr. Tam was pleasant and really helpful with our concerns and questions. This is the place to go if you are really looking for quality work with great customer service. Recommended to everyone 100%

  • 5/5 Athletic A. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    To start off this review I stumbled across this place while searching for a repair for my father's glasses, and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled that I found Tam. Not only did he expertly repair my Dad's glasses, but the way he treated me was exceptional. It's not often you come across such outstanding customer service. My experience was so positive that I had my wife reach out to Tam for her own glasses needs, and she had a fantastic experience as well. In fact, I was so impressed that I ended up getting a new pair of glasses from him too. Tam's reputation with his 4.9-star reviews is well-deserved, and honestly, I believe it should be a solid 5.0 stars. I highly recommend taking the time to visit Tam's place and experiencing the amazing personal service that my wife and I received. Thanks, Tam, for going above and beyond for your customers!

  • 5/5 Rania A. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Tam has done a wonderful job with repairing my glasses, and for an affordable price as well. He has also fitted my glasses to my face at no extra cost with the repair as I had some issues before with regards to its fit to my face, but I could not pinpoint exactly why that was until he noticed the problem. Now, my glasses finally fit perfectly to my face thanks to his precision and great attention to detail. Customer service was also great as he is very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Tam to anyone who would like to get their glasses repaired or fitted, you won't regret it!

  • 5/5 Jordan L. 8 months ago on Google
    Great experience and fair price. Got the nose arm of my glasses repaired. Price was fair and the quality of work seems pretty high. Took about an hour to complete the work which was great.

  • 5/5 Johanna 2 years ago on Google
    Tam fixed my glasses in less than 30 minutes for a same day appointment and at a very reasonable price. At no extra cost, he adjusted them to my face perfectly and even added some bolts to the glasses so now they are stronger and better than they were originally. He was extremely nice and you can tell he puts a lot of care into your glasses. 10/10 highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Andrew Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Tam was super professional and very knowledgeable and very well priced. He repaired my glasses in a matter of minutes and it was better than it initially ever was. Will definitely be back here in the near future!

  • 5/5 George B. 2 years ago on Google
    Tam was great. My glasses were promptly fixed and adjusted on a Saturday morning. I liked his idea of a quick text and photo to confirm price and time to fix.

  • 5/5 danny s. 2 years ago on Google
    Just a great service provided by Tam. The entire process, from the first text message sent, to the pick up of my repaired glasses, was professionally handled. My glasses fit better than they did before they were broken, can't recommend Tam enough.

  • 5/5 Andrew J. 2 years ago on Google
    Tam is a master of his craft. He fixed a pair of glasses that many retailers deemed unfixable. They are back to like new condition and I’m super satisfied. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for all things eyewear repair. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Ruukie B. 7 months ago on Google
    Tam is a absolute WIZARD! Unfortunately I've broken multiple pair of frames in the past, and he has managed to fix all of them. Def a go-to person for any sunglass/eyeglass repairs at reasonable price -Shah

  • 5/5 Kristi C. 3 years ago on Google
    The best place to get your eyeglasses repaired. I have spent months trying to find someone who can fix my glasses at a reasonable price. Tam was very professional in his procedures to ensure that COVID safety measures are met. He replies very quick and did an absolute amazing job on my glasses repair. I will be recommending all of my friends and family to get their glasses fixed by him from now on. I really thought my glasses could not be fixed and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome. Thank you again Tam, you did an amazing job!!!

  • 5/5 Vlad P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Friendly, professional and quick. Welded metal frames together with no trace of damage. Great quality work. Gentleman knows his trade. Would recommend for both repairs and great selection of new frames and lenses. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Jeff L. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent customer service! Family friendly! Best glasses I have purchased in my life. Transition is awesome. Also very good workmanship. Highly suggest Tam.

  • 5/5 E C. 1 year ago on Google
    Tam is really an expert optician. He repaired my broken eyeglass tantanium frame with such precision that the break point is hardly noticeable. Recently, I ordered my first ever pair of plastic lens and despite the high prescription(so high that I can only wear glass lens). Tam made the lens look slim and smart! Plus, the fit is perfect and the price is competitive! Thank you Tam! I am glad I found such an expert optician in Toronto. I highly recommend that you check him out and I can assure you that you will not want to go anywhere else for your glasses.

  • 5/5 tim o. 1 year ago on Google
    Like many other reviewers, I came to Tam Optical after other stores told me my 2 frames (a plastic one and a metal one) could not be repaired. Tam fixed both of them perfectly. I do not know if there is any other optician in GTA who is able to do this sort of repairs. If you have a broken frame that's a personal value, give Tam a try. Beside having some pretty unique skills, Tam is super nice and friendly. He noticed that I was a bit uncomfortable with my new progressive lenses. He figured out the reason and made a quick on the spot adjustment. Tam is a true professional who takes pride in his work and delivers top notch results.

  • 5/5 imran a. 1 year ago on Google
    My glasses needed urgent immediate repair. My glasses were not only repaired but adjusted well on my face at an economical price point. It was a pleasure dealing with Tam. Highly recommend this place for eyeglass repair work and purchase of new glasses. Better than most high profile optical shops.

  • 5/5 Faisal A. 1 year ago on Google
    Tam is the BEST at what he does. My pair of William Painters sunglasses were destroyed, the hinge broke off completely, broken metal, even the nose piece was broken off. He repaired it, as good as new! - these are titanium frames too! I was so happy with the service, I got prescription glasses as well! I highly recommend Tam's business not just for repairs, but for all your optometrist needs

  • 5/5 Y C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing and Tam, registered optician and owner, is very experienced in the craft. He knows what lenses choices are best for the frame type you have choosen. The best part about the whole experience is the fitting for the glasses. Tam takes his time to make sure the new pair of glasses fit just perfect on your face! Best part for me is my new pair of eye glass and sunglass fits so well on my face! My new pair of eye glass and sunglass are so comfortable to wear all day long, and I never have any nose pad indentation on my nose bridge after prolonged wear! Moreover, the pricing on my new eyeglass and sunglass are reasonable and very competitive! I am so glad I found this place (Tam)! I will definitely recommend this place to your friends and family who need new eyeglasses or eyeglass repair! Thank you Tam!

  • 5/5 Ali N C. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly a gem of a man , I accidentally sat on my eyeglasses while on business in Toronto. I had a meeting in Niagara Falls area in the afternoon . This man on short notice, same day fixed my glasses and made them brand new for such a reasonable price. MANY many thank yous could not suffice ! PS. I made my meeting the same day driving , so my glasses were imperative for the journey.

  • 5/5 Hazel B. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking to repair your eyeglasses, well recommended is Tam’s shop, convenient area, fast and reliable. This person is very professional, knowledgeable and fair pricing. Keep it up👍🏻

  • 5/5 Paul R. 2 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    A fantastic eyeglass repair experience. The hinge on my rimless glasses suddenly snapped (probably from metal fatigue due to age). I brought them in to Tam who did an amazing job of soldering them so that you can barely tell where the break was. He also cleaned and adjusted the frames so that they again provide a comfortable snug fit as when they were new. The service was friendly, informative, fast (about an hour) and skilled. I highly recommend Tam for eyeglass repairs. He also has an extensive collection of frames for new eyeglasses with the ability to custom shape lenses when fitting rimless frames. Something I'll explore in the future.
