DO I NEED AN EYE EXAM?

Having your eyes examined on a regular basis is a very important thing.  Many eye conditions such as glaucoma cause irreversible vision loss and have no signs until it is too late.

At Second Specs we don't feel that you should have to wear broken frames or scratched lenses while you are planning to get your eyes checked.  You might view our services similar to getting your existing glasses repaired. 

We are still going to encourage you to get your eyes examined but in the meantime, we can request your lastest prescription or in some cases take a very accurate measurement of your existing eyewear to determine what your last prescription was.  We then basically duplicate that prescription into the new glasses until you have the chance to get your eyes examination by an optometrist.  No one should have to wear scratched, broken glasses or embarrassing glasses but a thorough eye check up is important self care.

Second Specs is proud to offer eye exams at our Sherwood Park and Strathmore locations. We utilize OCT and retinal photography to identify possibly problems up to ten years before they affect your vision. Our optometrist are required to be members of the Alberta College and Association of optometrists to ensure you are receiving the most up to date and competent care.
