“Can only say great things about the staff at Iris Barrie. I have been a patient of Dr Beverly for a very long time, since before the office on Big Bay Point road. Nothing but faith in her ability and knowledge in eye health and care. All the staff are excellent, especially Erin, who as a contact lens specialist is honestly exceptional.”

“Fantastic folks to deal with. Very professional and friendly. My wife and I had our eye exam with the doctor on site and Amir filled each of our new prescriptions. Within a few hours, he phoned us and told us that our glasses were ready for pick-up later that same day. Highly recommend Mapleview Optical.”

“Doug is amazing, I’ve known him since I was like 4 and I’m now 23 still buying my frames and lenses here. Never shopped elsewhere. The service he provides is immaculate, you really feel special while shopping and this place truly has something for everyone. Way better than anything else in Barrie; More selections, better service, great prices, what more can I say? It’s worth going out of your way to shop here you won’t be disappointed”
“Fantastic personalized service. Knowledgeable staff who take the time to ensure the best frames are selected for fit, function and design. The selection of frames is vast and diverse. Their own designer frames are my favourite. I am so glad I found them. Thanks Archer’s!”
“From my eye exam, to frame and lens selection and final delivery, everything was super smooth. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and experienced, took time to talk through all the options, weighing in on the pros and cons and let me make an unrushed decision that I was comfortable with. If you are looking for your next pair of glasses, I’d recommend Archer’s Eyewear in a heartbeat!”
“Great place, friendly staff and awesome selection of eyewear, especially sunglass which is exactly what I was looking for. Although they are still open by appointment only at this time, which I didn’t realize until I drove there, I called from the parking lot and they got me in right away. Scott Rose was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Found the exact pair of sunglasses I was looking for and Scott was able to get Oakley to put a rush on them for me so that I would have them before my trip! Definitely the place to go in Barrie for regular and prescription sunglasses!”
