Hakim Optical began more than 40 years ago with Mr. Hakim grinding lenses for the Canadian wholesale market. His craft was learned, as a youth, in his native Iran and honed, in subsequent years, grinding lenses in Germany and then camera lenses in Switzerland.Attracted by the excitement of retail opportunities, Mr. Hakim began to pass the great deals he gave to wholesalers on to the public.Today Hakim Optical serves the public with 157 outlets (including 137 one hour factory outlets) in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba.more...See more text
I will never do business with this company again. Very poor-quality frames. Ordered my glasses in Feb, supposed to take 2 weeks tops. After a month I called them looking for my glasses. Finally got a call a couple of days later that they were in and ready for pickup. Then 2 months later, my screw fell out and so did my lens. Had to make a quick trip to Edmonton to get them repaired. They couldn't replace the screw with one that matches my frames. Then couple months later they broke again.
