Yes. One pair of eyeglasses can generally do a great job in many cases. Multiple pairs are often required for different lighting situations and visual demands.

It takes anywhere from a few hours to six weeks to produce a pair of glasses at Visions of Canada. So many of our glasses require special lenses and a lot of attention to detail. Same day service is a available for a range of lower single vision prescriptions. Two to three weeks is common for most cases, with rare and complicated prescriptions taking an average of 4-6 weeks to produce.

It is very difficult to give accurate pricing without detailed information on your prescription, needs and expectations through consultation. This is why it is very important for you to come into our store with your previous eyeglasses and most current prescription, and speak to one of our experienced staff.

The thinness of your glasses can be determined within a few millimetres only after detailed consultation. Every case is unique, and the final thinness depends on your prescription, frame choice, pupillary distance and lens choice. Only after these variables have been set can an approximate thinness be calculated. We work with you to choose the best frame and the thinnest lenses available for your unique case.

Yes, there is a whole world of lenses that are not available in the U.S.A. A lot of these advanced lenses aren’t even available in many optical stores in Canada & Europe.
