Frames

Many of the brands we carry as well-recognized within the industry for quality and comfort. Majority of the products originate from Japan or Europe and are fully warrantied by the corresponding manufacturer policies. A diverse range of unique and trend-sensitive designs are available, as well a broad selection of traditional aesthetics which offer our clients with almost any look they have in mind.

We carry an assortment of youth eyewear in the Lower Mainland including pediatric-specific brands such as NanoVista and Superflex; other adolescent-oriented collections of recognizable brands such as Nike, Converse, and Puma are also available.

Lenses

In Sight Optical is dedicated to providing the best lenses for optimal vision quality. While we source majority of new glasses to the Essilor lab for finishing and fitting, we can expedite lenses-only cutting/mounting within our facility lab. Scheduling to drop off your glasses for lens replacement can be as short as an hour-wait.

Essilor is our primary lens supplier of choice. The French-based company is the world's largest lens manufacturer and the inventor of progressive additional lenses. They have lens-manufacturing facilities all over the world, including Vancouver. Essilor supplies a full range of products, from single vision to their Varilux digital progressive lenses with complimentary coating options.

Additional Lens Options:

• Transitions Gen 8 – this lens is clear indoors, darkening to your preferred grey or brown option when UV rays come into contact with the lens. As windshields have a built-in UV-filter, conventional Transitions will not reach their darkest in the car.

• Transitions XtrActive - holds a slight tint indoors and darkens in the car, as this lens will activate with less UV ray exposure than conventional Transitions lenses.

• Crizal anti-reflective coatings – originally developed to allow for greater light transmission through lenses for better the vision, they now offer a greater degree of scratch resistance and hydrophobicity than materials without them. Cosmetically, the coatings provide a clearer appearance of the lenses as they reduce reflected light in all situations, notably in flash photography. A variety of anti-reflective coatings are available with options such as blue-light reduction and anti-static properties.

• Xperio - Essilor’s brand of custom-made polarised lenses, these lenses offer reduction of glare in sunglasses. This option is especially recommended for those looking to get prescription glasses with heavy usage by bodies of water or reflective snow-related conditions

Lens Warranties

Majority of our lenses come with a industry standard 2-year warranty for any defects or minor wear-and-tear. This excludes any user-related negligence or loss of glasses.

Prescription changes may require a change of lenses. This is covered for a period of 3 months from the initial date of purchase.

The Kids & Teens package from Essilor has an extended warranty for prescription changes, up to 15 months from the date of original purchase. This warranty covers a 1-time replacement for the original lenses, for those that qualify and have purchased the package (from ages 0 to 15 years).

Sunglasses & Sports Glasses

Our sunglasses manufacturers primarily work with specific technology to optimise fit and vision in both clear and overcast environments. Brands such as Maui Jim and Zeal both have custom-fit measurements, along with digital compensation to help eliminate prismatic distortion for high-curvature lenses that many sunglasses have. For complex prescriptions or mounting lenses into an eyeglass of your choice, we primarily use Essilor and their line of Xperio polarised lenses, much like Maui Jim and Zeal, offer base curve compensation to minimise distortion in lenses.

Liberty Sports Eyewear are the brand we trust for fully-tested sports glasses. With over 90 years of brand history, they meet required ANSI and ASTM impact durability qualifications to provide ample amounts of protection for your eyes during athletic activities.
