View Eye Care

From start to finish everyone on the team was a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to my next visit back to see the team and take care of my eye needs.

Always enjoy my visit with Dr Mike. Thorough and attentive, takes his time to discuss any issues. The dispensory staff are great, they carry a fabulous assortment of frames. And the front desk folks are great too!

One of the most comprehensive optical services I’ve experienced since … never mind its been that long ;) Dr. Talsky and staff are most attentive without being solicitous or patronizing. I felt like everyone cared and whats more, they all like their jobs … a hard thing to find these days.
My sweetie and I both had examinations and new prescriptions and well … better vision is a miraculous thing but when did we get so old? Curses View Eye Care! but thank you all the same :)

Dr. Rotholz is by far the best eye doctor I have ever had and perhaps even the best eye doctor in the GTA! The tests are through and I feel confident that my eye health is in good hands. I have been a patient for the last 3 years and am extremely satisfied.

While I chose this clinic based on location, I was pleased with Dr Peter Milonas’ ease with clients, thorough explanations of options, and friendly demeanour. His coordinator, who does the initial tests, is friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. The office is comfortable and I was pleased with the battery of tests run in order to check for various issues, making the client comfortable through the process as well. It is also important to not rush the process, and I did not hesitate asking questions or having someone repeat something– very patient. Thank you.

A friend recommended Dr. Milonas to me three years ago and I couldn’t be more pleased. He is knowledgeable and approachable, and I look forward to seeing him every year. On the whole, the staff at View Eye Care is friendly and professional, and I know I can trust the advice I receive there. The central location makes it easy for me to run over for an appointment or to pick something up during my work day.

Followed Dr Talsky to her new location because of her knowledge and skill. She continues to provide that on the new practice. I was also very impressed with the customer service — efficient, helpful and friendly staff.

Dr. Peter Milonas and the staff at view eye care are great. Very friendly and easy to communicate with. They have great technology for the most up to date info on your eyes. It’s nicely located in the downtown area and is easy to get to via TTC or car.

I have been seeing Dr. Mike at View Eye Care for over 5 years and I have nothing but good things to say about the level of professionalism and care I have received from Dr. Mike and his team. In addition to the high quality and thorough examination from Dr. Mike, the front desk is responsive, courteous, and efficient, and the folks at the glasses desk are also extremely helpful. If you are looking for an excellent eye doctor/​optometry office close to downtown/​accessible on TTC, you will be in excellent hands at View Eye Care.

I wasn’t loving my eye doctor. He was okay, but I felt like the customer service wasn’t great and I didn’t feel like it was as thorough an exam as I would like it to be. I began to wonder what it would be like to go elsewhere (it costs a bit more, but I was willing to try, after all this is my health) since I was overdue for an eye exam. I did some research and came across this place. I originally tried to book with Dr. Mike (the head honcho) but he wasn’t in on the day I wanted, but Dr. Cheryl Talsky was. So maybe the planets wanted me to go her. What the heck! I booked it. Their office, by the way is wonderfully organized. As soon as you book, they send you an email confirmation (no smoke signals like in the olden days) that states the date and time of your appointment, along with the new patient form to fill out (so you don’t have to worry about doing it when you arrive, done and done), as well as a list of what to bring with you (eye glasses, sun glasses, contact lenses, medications etc), which I found to be really helpful, since my eye appointments are not a weekly or monthly event, what to bring to them generally isn’t on my mental roster. I showed up for my appointment to find a nicely designed office, super friendly staff and what looks to be a eye glass store right inside the main area. When the assistant (who tests your sunglasses for uv protection) asked for my sunglasses, I cringed, thinking I’d get laughed outta there (they were from Ardene — 3 pairs for $ 10). But no! He said all of them were 100% UV protected! *insert happy dance moves here* He also said that a woman had come in with $ 600 Tiffany sunglasses that were not UV protected. I must admit that made me pretty darn happy (yeah, even the part about the lady’s expensive sunglasses, not very Buddhist of me, I know). So anyway, this same guy did a whole slew of tests (I’m pretty sure I’ve never had these done before) before I met Dr. Talsky. She’s awesome (and glam)! Friendly, outgoing, good attention to detail. She dilated my pupils (they had warned me about this when I booked my appointment, so I knew what to expect) and then led me to the sitting area to wait a few minutes. Then she came back and we checked my eyes and she took all the time necessary to explain everything. I explained that money was a concern and that I don’t have a few hundred bucks to spend on reading glasses. She led me over and introduced me to Crystal (who is one of the lovely eye glass people). Crystal checked my latest glasses (turns out they were arced and uneven — paid over $ 100 bucks for em with a groupon) and also said to go ahead and try the cheapo (dollar store/​shoppers) ones because — unlike what I’d been led to believe from my last eye doctor — both eyes have the same prescription, so I could do that! Bonus note: The Bloor & Avenue Rd Winners had boxes of 3 designer (Alfred Sung?) reading glasses for $ 15 with funky frames. WIN. WIN. Needless to say, my experience could not have been better. My boyfriend is planning on booking with them when it’s time for his eye update (obviously, I’m not an eye doctor either, given my swanky terminology). Definitely book your appointment here. You’ll be glad you did! You get to have thorough, professional eye care in a lovely environment done by great people. You can’t go wrong. Plus hey, this is your eye health, right?

After my horrendous experience at Toronto Eye Care (just down the street) almost two years ago I have avoided updating my prescription in Toronto. Yes it was that scarring…
Anyways, I gave this place a try after the glowing reviews that I read below and booked an appointment with Dr Mike. The location is extremely convenient and the office itself is very nice and clean. There was almost zero wait time as a staff came and did the preliminary exams with me as soon as I sat down, ready to read the magazine that I brought with me. Dr Mike is friendly and thorough and walked through all part of the exam with me and explained as much as he could.
Understanding that I order my contacts online, Dr Mike provided me with copies of my prescription for contacts and glasses with no questions asked as I was walking out, not forcing me to get my lenses or contacts at their office. He also recommended new contacts that are suitable for my dry eyes that turned out to be fantastic. Needless to say, I am very happy about how I was treated at this office. The receptionist was also happy to file the claim to my insurance for me, saving me paperwork troubles.

Dr Mike and his office staff are great. Dr Mike is thorough and his attention to our families eyes has been, for over 15yrs, consistently great. He is always open to questions, and although a crazy busy office, he takes the time to explain the details. Along side his professional attention, David and Crystal, the optical staff are just super. They help you find the right pair of glasses and they love what they do, you can feel it.
P. S. Great eye doctor for kids!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Milonas for about 4 years and he is excellent. He is thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. The View Eyecare facility is conveniently located, clean, and has all the modern imaging equipment. Front desk staff is on the ball as well, with a friendly demeanour and convenient email appointment reminders. Recommended!
