Yes! Our in-house optical lab with edger allows us to cut and insert your lenses into the frames on-site, saving you time and money while ensuring premium quality. All our lenses are manufactured off-site, but cutting them in-house means that if you’re just replacing the lenses in your own frame, you won’t be without your glasses for two weeks.

We stock over 1,200 optical frames in our Kamloops location, ensuring you’ll find the perfect style for your face shape and personal aesthetic.

In addition to routine examinations, we also offer IPL and RF treatments for dry eyes, and macumira for dry macular degeneration. Ask your eye doctor if you are a candidate for these treatments.
