Book Your AppointmentAre You Ready to Ditch Your Glasses?
It’s no secret that we love eyes and anything to do with them, even glasses!! However, we completely understand if glasses are not right for you. We offer an extensive collection of contact lenses to help make the most of your vision.
Contact lenses are a great alternative to glasses thanks to the giant leaps in innovation since their invention. Gone are the days of inserting tiny pieces of glass in your eyes; now you can let your eyes rest comfortably with contact lenses designed to match your eyes and their needs!
Please book an eye exam and let us know your interest in using contact lenses, and we can help take care of the rest!
Toric Contact Lenses
Did you know that when you wear standard contact lenses, they rotate throughout the day? When you suffer from a refractive error like astigmatism, it can be really tough to find a contact lens to help you see clearly without needing to readjust them constantly.
Thankfully, toric contact lenses have been specifically designed to not rotate on your eye. This design includes a special “toric” shape as well as a little weight, either in the center or bottom of the lens, to keep it from moving. These unique contact lenses allow for different prescriptive powers across different meridians to help give you clear vision.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
If you find that you are having a hard time seeing at all distances, then your eyes might require multiple prescriptions. The only way to achieve multiple prescriptions in a single contact lense is through the use of multifocal contacts.
Multifocals can help you see as best you can at most distances. However, your doctor still might prescribe the use of glasses on some occasions.
Transition Contact Lenses
Transition contact lenses takes the advanced technology of transition lenses and pairs it with contact lenses. These contacts dim when exposed to bright light to keep your eyes comfortable at all times.
Subscription Service
Single-use daily contact lenses bring the ultimate comfort and safety in wear, and for the price of less than a cup of coffee a day, are rapidly becoming the favourite choice of most lens wearers. With our easy contact lens subscription service, you can always have a pair of contact lenses handy without scheduling and paying for new contact lens appointments whenever you run out, from $45 a month!
How it Works
- We’ll perform an eye exam and fit your contact lenses (standard fees still apply).
- You’ll sign up for a minimum 6 month subscription for your contact lenses. We ask for the first 3 months in advance, then payments will take place on the 25th of each month after.
- Our subscription also includes future contact lens aftercare appointments!
- We don’t offer any insurance billing with the subscription service.
