Best place for eye exams, and contacts/eyeglasses?!


Question: Best place for eye exams, and contacts/eyeglasses?
Where is the best place to get an eye exam, in the Toronto area. I heard that children under 19 get an free exam every year from OHIP, do I just go to any eye exam center, and I will get it free? Also I've heard clearlycontacts.com offers good glasses with lens? I believe I am close sighted, and I do not feel that I would wear glasses all the time, as they would be a hassle, would contacts be the better choice?

I'm not sure where to get your eye exam, but once you have had it, take your prescription and run to the internet! Loads of cool new places to get prescription lenses and save lots of money.

When I buy my prescription lenses, I go to www.replacementlensexpress.com. Their website is straight forward and when it's not, I just e-mail their optician directly (info@replacementlensexpress.com) and he answers all my questions pretty much the same day.

I got Transitions lenses through them for just $66, which includes a prescription. Anti-Glare coating is $35. What I do is, because I already have the frames I like, whenever my prescription changes, I send in my frames and they just put in the new lenses. Easy, peasy, and they are just based in Connecticut, so it's a really quick turn around time and quality is high, unlike other online companies (or even Walmart) who outsource overseas. I know they ship to Canada cause my friend in Montreal got her glasses from them too.

But it sounds like you want frames too. Their frame selection isn't super large online, but I know that if you e-mail them the exact make and model number of the frame you want, they'll get it for you and for a wholesale price. So just shoot them a descriptive e-mail of exactly what you want, and I think you'll be very happy.
