Getting new glasses should be straightforward. But between choosing frames, selecting lenses, understanding coatings, and figuring out what your insurance covers — it rarely feels that way. That's exactly why Lynn Valley Optometry offers complete eyewear packages: transparent pricing, expert guidance, and everything you need in one place.

3 pairs of eyeglass packages on neutral beige flat lay background — Eyewear packages at Lynn Valley Optometry — starting at $149 for single vision lenses.

What Is an Eyewear Package?

An eyewear package bundles your frame and prescription lenses together at a set starting price. No hidden fees, no surprises at the till. What you see is what you pay.

Lynn Valley Optometry currently offers four packages:

Single Vision Eyewear — starting at $149
Single Vision Sunglasses — starting at $295
Progressive Eyewear — starting at $395
Progressive Sunglasses — starting at $495

Pricing is subject to change.

All packages apply to select frames and are available year-round — not as a limited-time promotion, but as a permanent part of how Lynn Valley Optometry does things.

Single Vision vs. Progressive: Which Do You Need?

Single vision lenses are designed to correct one type of vision — either distance or near, but not both. They're the most common lens type and a great fit for most prescriptions.

Progressive lenses correct for multiple focal distances in one lens, making them ideal for patients who need both distance and reading correction without the visible line of traditional bifocals. If you find yourself constantly switching between glasses or holding your phone further away to read, progressives might be worth exploring.

Not sure which is right for you? That's where the team at Lynn Valley Optometry comes in.

The Optical Bar Experience

One of the things that sets Lynn Valley Optometry apart from online retailers or chain optical shops is the in-person, expert-guided experience at the Optical Bar.

When you visit, a dedicated eyewear stylist will work with you to find the right frame for your face shape, personal style, prescription, and budget. You'll have access to a thoughtfully curated selection of independent and designer brands — including Tom Ford, Moscot, Barton Perreira, Etnia Barcelona, Garrett Leight, and more — that you won't find at chain retailers.

Once your frame is selected, the team will recommend the best lens solution for how you actually live: whether that means screen protection, progressive lenses, anti-reflective coatings, or high-index lenses for a thinner, lighter finish.

There's no guesswork, no pressure, and no overwhelming wall of identical frames. Just a relaxed, guided process designed to get you into the right pair.

In-House Edging: What It Means for You

Unlike many optical clinics that send lenses out to a third-party lab, Lynn Valley Optometry cuts and finishes lenses in-house. This means greater quality control, a more precise fit, and faster turnaround — most prescriptions are ready in 7 to 10 business days.

The 60-Day Lens Exchange Guarantee

Not completely happy with your lenses? Lynn Valley Optometry backs every pair with a 60-day lens exchange guarantee. It's the kind of confidence that comes from a clinic that stands behind its work.

Does My Insurance Cover Eyeglasses in Canada?

Many Canadians have some form of vision care coverage through their employer's group benefits plan — and in a lot of cases, it covers more than people realize. Here's a general breakdown of what basic Canadian plans typically include.

Frames

Most standard group plans cover $150 to $300 toward frames every 24 months. Some plans refresh annually, particularly with more comprehensive coverage tiers.

Lenses

Basic single vision lenses are commonly covered in full or near-full under most group plans. Progressive lenses are typically covered as well, though the reimbursement amount may be capped — usually between $150 and $250 depending on your plan.

Prescription Sunglasses

Coverage for prescription sunglasses varies widely. Some plans cover them under the same frame and lens allowance as regular eyewear, while others treat them separately or exclude them altogether. It's worth checking your plan documents before assuming they aren't covered.

How Your Benefits Apply

Lynn Valley Optometry's packages are priced to work with most standard benefit plans. In many cases, your insurance reimbursement will cover a significant portion — or all — of your package cost, depending on your plan and the frames you select.

A Note on Coverage

Every plan is different. Coverage amounts, eligible products, and reimbursement timelines vary by provider and employer. We recommend reviewing your benefits booklet or contacting your insurance provider directly before your appointment to understand exactly what you're entitled to. Our team is also happy to help you navigate the process when you visit.

Is an Eyewear Package Right for You?

The eyewear packages are designed for anyone who wants quality prescription eyewear without the guesswork on price. Whether you're picking up your first pair of progressives, replacing an overdue prescription, or finally investing in dedicated prescription sunglasses, there's a package built for you.
