I can’t rave enough about Dr. Shannon Moore. She is just an incredibly personable woman, attentive and efficient and ready and willing to solve your problems. I took my daughter to see her as well and she is honestly the best doctor I have met in my 38 years!
The staff is also sweet and fun and very accommodating. 10/5 stars for Comox Valley Optometry.

Staff were accommodating and managed to fit me in with only 20 minutes notice. The optometrist was able to solve my issue (something stuck in my eye) within 10 or so minutes. Instant relief. Very efficient team. Would highly recommend!

And here we are.
My wife reccomended me the place as the staff can book you in a relatively short time.
Long story short, the glasses( 3 pairs) I had from before the appoitment from different locations out of town were not so good.
But the doctor spend time to understand what I need it for and gave me "The best glasses ".
Sincerely, I now were them every time of day.

Hands down the BEST eye exam I've ever had in my life! I am quite visually challenged... so I've had a lot of exams and kinda know what's up. I had been having a hard time getting an eye appointment more locally (forever on the waitlist.) Then got in with a mobile clinic, but had a very uncomfortable experience (and I'm a pretty laid back gal.) There was a lot of mansplaining about my chronic illness, and non-consensual bare fingers in and around my eyes (and two days after the appointment my eyes were so swollen and gooey I could barely open them.) T'was a major yikes. Anyway, I wasn't confident in the prescription I received from Google searching, mansplaining dirty fingers McGee. I had plans to be in Courtenay for my aunt's birthday party. Soooo, I did some googling and found this wonderful clinic. I LOVE their online booking system! It saved me so much time from calling around as boom, all the appointment options were right there. I also loved that I could fill out all the in-take paperwork in advance (a feral creature operates my brain, so it was nice to be able to take the time to look up the date of my eye surgery, medications and ponder the answers you know?) It was so slick and easy to use. The morning of the appointment I was so nervous and anxious! Then I got to the clinic and the staff were all so lovely. I'm a huge dork, I make dumb jokes and silly comments all the time and luckily for me so did the team at the clinic. Dr. Vinge is very down to earth, personable, super funny yet amazingly thorough. Holy moly, I don't think I've ever had anyone take my eye health and function so seriously. She was so kind and kept checking in with me to see if I needed to take a break (my illness is muscle related.) She is extremely intelligent and professional, but delightful to converse and joke around with. I was so hyped up after my appointment as I went in with a lot of anxiety and left feeling so stoked and confident in this new prescription. At my aunt's party various people asked how my appointment went and I am pretty sure I blurted out "BEST EXAM OF MY LIFE! SO MUCH FUN!" (okay, I may have had a festive beverage by then - but still stand by that statement!) I never thought that I would ever describe an eye exam as "fun" but it really was! The only con is that with my out-dated prescription the flooring in my house looked clean, and once I got my new contacts I experienced a shock due to the sheer horror that was my kitchen floor. Lol.

Dr. Vinge and her staff offer a stellar service. I recently had an eye exam and purchased 2 pairs of glasses from CVO. Dr. Vinge's exam was comfortable, non stressful and well explained throughout. She answered all of my questions thoroughly, and I felt that I understood the process well as she performed the exam.
The staff helped me pick out glasses, guiding me toward the right ones to meet my needs, keeping in mind both style and function.
The fitting process was seamless as well. The assistant made sure that she was ordering what I wanted, confirming it twice, just to be sure (the 2 pairs were not exactly the same).
She clearly explained the options and costs. I always felt that I understood what was going to happen and what the total would be.
I would highly recommend this office.
