Where to Get Glasses After Your Eye Exam in London, Ontario

You just had your eye exam and you're walking out with a new prescription. Here's something a lot of people don't realize: you don't have to buy your glasses at the same place you had your exam. You can ask for a copy of your prescription and take it to any optical store you like.

What to ask for at your eye exam

Ask your optometrist for a copy of your glasses prescription before you leave. If you're getting progressives or bifocals, it helps to have your pupillary distance too, but if you don't have it, we can measure it in store.

Why people bring their prescription to us

We're a family-owned, independent optical store, so we're not tied to one brand or a corporate price list. Two complete pairs of single vision glasses start at $249 with frames, prescription lenses and scratch coating. Two pairs of progressive or multifocal glasses start at $548.

Lens brands you can trust

We work with Zeiss, Essilor, Shamir and Riverside lenses. I'll walk you through the options and tell you what's actually worth adding, like anti-reflective coating, blue light filtering or thinner lenses for stronger prescriptions.

Direct billing

We direct bill ODSP, OW, NIHB, IFH, Veterans Affairs and most private insurance plans, so in a lot of cases you won't have to pay up front and wait for a refund.

Students and seniors

Students can get a complete pair for $99, and seniors get two-pair bundle pricing with discounted add-ons. See in store for details on both.

Just walk in

No appointment needed. We're at 490 Wonderland Rd S, close to Byron, Westmount, Oakridge and Lambeth. Bring your valid prescription and we'll take it from there.
