WHAT DOES A LICENSED OPTICIAN DO?

A licensed optician is a dedicated professional who uses the latest technology to help people see better and enhance their lives. Adhering to national and international standards of precision, we translate your vision prescription into the perfect pair of lenses for your eyes. We offer licensed sight-testing services at our facility.

CAN YOU HELP ME FIND FRAMES TO SUIT MY FEATURES?

Absolutely! Our licensed optician and staff are experts in design and style. We understand that eyewear is one of your most important accessories and can help you find the perfect frames to complement your features and personality. Don’t hesitate to ask us for assistance when selecting frames – we’d be more than happy to help! You’d be surprised at how much we can help you narrow down your choices in our large selection.

WHAT FACTORS SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A PAIR OF FRAMES?

Two of the most important things to consider when selecting a pair of frames include shape and colour and selecting the right combination that will best flatter your face shape. What many don’t immediately take into consideration are how the frames will bring out your personality and what sort of first impression they can make.

If you want your wardrobe to really make a statement, then unusual shapes and bold colours might be for you. If you mainly wear your glasses at work and want to look like a competent professional, you may want to consider something more subtle. Perhaps you’re an athlete and require durable sports eyewear. Whatever your needs are, we can help you find the right frames for you!

WHAT FACTORS SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A PAIR OF EYEGLASS LENSES?

If you are like most people and are not a fan of thick prescription eyeglasses, you might want to try lenses in a high-index material. In addition to superior optics, they also offer thinner, lighter lenses. Aspherics are ideal for stronger prescriptions because they are not only flatter and thinner, but they also lessen farsighted eye magnification and nearsighted eye minification. Whether you sit at a computer all day, play golf or work on automobiles, bifocals and progressives come in more configurations than ever before to accommodate your needs.

Do you offer any types of specialty eyewear?

Yes, we carry many task-specific eyewear products and accessories in our wide selection. Whether you need eyeglasses/sunglasses for computer use, driving, work, hobbies or UV protection, we can accommodate your specific needs!

Do you have any special offers, discounts or layaway plans available?

Evelyn’s Eyewear honours all government and private plans, and we bill directly to private extended health plans when applicable. If you’re a Preferred Vision Service (PVS) member, we offer PVS discounts, and we also welcome government assistance plans. Be sure to ask about our available student discounts, family packages, benefits and layaway plans and Chamber of Commerce member plans. We also offer 2-for-1 and monthly specials to save you money!
