How much do I need to pay to get glasses?
That depends on your prescription and the frame that you’ve chosen. Feel free to call us at 905-571-3910 and we’ll do our best to be more specific once we know your prescription details.
Why do my glasses cause pain behind my ears?
If the arms of the frame are bent too tightly around the ears, you will experience aches behind the ears. Ask your optician to loosen the arms and adjust them as needed for maximum comfort.
How do I keep my glasses clean?
The most efficient method for cleaning glasses is to run them under water; place a tiny drop of dishwashing soap on the lenses and lather them using the tip of your finger. Rinse with warm water and dry using a microfibre cloth. Keep your lenses away from chemicals and high temperatures, as they can destroy the protective coating on your lenses.
