Why Canadians Choose Hakim Optical
Sir Hakimi arrived in Toronto in 1967 with a rebuilt lab and one goal: make quality eyewear affordable. That hasn’t changed.
In-House Lens Labs
We make lenses in our own labs. That means faster service and better quality control. Many locations finish in as little as one hour.
Licensed Opticians at Every Store
Our opticians help you pick the right frame, fit it correctly, and match it to your prescription. Every single location, every single visit.
Prices That Make Sense
We price match against any advertised lower price – and beat it by 10%. See our current promotions and deals to save even more.
We Accept Your Insurance – and Bill Them Directly
Hakim Optical works with most major Canadian vision care plans. We handle direct billing so it’s an easier process for you.
We also accept OHIP, ODSP, and NIHB benefits. Ontario residents: eye exams are OHIP-covered for children under 20 and adults 65 and older.
