Prescription Lenses

The main supplier of lenses we work with is Essilor, the world's largest lens manufacturer and also company that invented progressive addition lenses.

We also have the capability to insert prescription sunglass lenses into most optical-quality eyeglasses through other lens manufacturers and are not limited to just sunglass brands. These lenses are often custom-manufactured through Essilor.

Contact Lens Fittings

We are trained in optics, eye health, and anatomy, and understand the importance of educating patients about their contact lenses – as well as fitting and dispensing contact lenses. We will work with you to find lenses best suited for your lifestyle, visual needs, eye health requirements. Once the type and modality of contact lens is selected, we will provide complete training on insertion and removal of contact lenses, including the maintenance of lenses (if any).

We provide trial pairs to take home at the time of your appointment once all qualifications of training are met.

Please refer to the product section for manufacturer of contact lenses we dispense.

Frame repairs and adjustments

We are equipped to fit, adjust or repair your current glasses on site, and usually provide such minor adjustments and repairs. We traditionally ask for donations to BC Children's Hospital or a minor fee as payment. Any intensive repairs, we can recommend alternative solutions or refer outside to a capable repair centre.
