Part of gearing up for another school year is ensuring you have everything you need to be successful—which includes proper eyewear. Hakim Optical has a number of stylish glasses so you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for vision health.

Unfortunately, not all Canadians take their vision health as seriously as their overall physical health. It’s extremely important to schedule regular eye exams to ensure there are no eye issues and to help prevent eye disease and future vision loss.

Make the most out of your summer and be sure you have the right lens coatings on your glasses to enjoy the warmth, sunshine and fun summertime activities!

Hakim Optical has been serving Canadians for over 50 years and we’ve built our business by offering customers high-quality glasses and first-class service. One thing that our customers love about our store is that we offer such a wide variety of frame brands, lenses and customizations to create the perfect pair of glasses.

If you’ve never worn contact lenses before, you’ll need to schedule a contact lens exam before the eye doctor will issue you a prescription.

Plano lenses are just lenses for glasses that have no prescription (power of zero). They are used when people only need correction in one eye, for those that want to wear glasses for cosmetic reasons and to provide the benefit of a lens coating even if a person doesn’t need corrective eyewear.
