Your Eye Exam Is Done. Now What?


Getting a new prescription is only half the process. The other half, picking glasses you'll actually want to wear every day, can feel a lot more overwhelming. Do you go with the frame you've always worn, or try something new? What lens options are actually worth it? And once you've decided, how do you know you picked well?


If you're wondering where to buy glasses after your eye exam in North Vancouver, you don't have to look far. At Lynn Valley Optometry, this part of the visit gets just as much attention as the exam itself.


Book a Personal Styling Appointment


If choosing frames on your own feels like a lot, you don't have to do it alone. Personal styling appointments can now be booked directly online, so you can reserve dedicated time with one of our opticians to go through frames, lens options, and pricing together, without feeling rushed.


That said, you never need to book ahead to get help. Our Optical Bar team is on hand every day the clinic is open, ready to help you find something that fits your face, prescription, and budget on the spot, styling appointment or not.


Where to Buy Glasses After Your Eye Exam in North Vancouver


Your next stop is right here at our Optical Bar. Once your exam wraps up, our opticians curate a selection of frames based on your prescription, lifestyle, and personal style.


  • We help you narrow down frames that actually suit you, from independent labels to designer names

  • We match you with the right lenses for your needs, whether that's single vision, progressives, blue light filtering, or something more specialized like Neurolens or Shamir Driver Intelligence lenses

  • Our in-house edging lab means many lenses are cut and fitted right here on-site, so you often get your finished glasses sooner


Second Pair Savings


Sometimes the right choice only becomes obvious after you've lived with your first pair for a bit, or you realize you'd like a backup, a pair for driving, or something different for weekends. That's why we offer 30% off a second pair of lenses within 30 days of your original purchase.


Why You Shouldn't Buy Glasses Online


Buying glasses online can look tempting, especially with a prescription already in hand. But your prescription is only part of what makes a pair of glasses actually work for your eyes.

One thing that's easy to overlook: your lenses need to be positioned to match your pupillary distance, the exact spot where your pupils sit relative to the frame (and for progressives, the height of the reading zone matters too). We measure this in person with a pupillometer and mark it precisely on the lens so the optical centre lines up with where you actually look through the glasses. Get that placement wrong and even a correct prescription can cause eye strain, headaches, or blurry spots, something no online order form can account for.


There's also no one to catch it if something's off. If a pair doesn't sit right on your face, or the lenses feel slightly wrong once you're wearing them day to day, an online retailer can't adjust the fit or tell you why. We can, because we did the measuring and the fitting ourselves.


We're Still Here After You Leave With Your Glasses


When you get your glasses through us, that relationship doesn't end at checkout:


  • 60-day lens guarantee. If your lenses aren't right, comfort, clarity, or fit, we'll adjust or exchange them within 60 days.

  • Complimentary adjustments. Cleanings, adjustments, and maintenance are included for the life of your eyewear.

  • 1-year warranty and repairs. We handle manufacturer warranties and in-clinic repairs directly, so you're not stuck mailing frames away and waiting weeks.


If your prescription changes down the line, we'll also replace your remaining lens inventory with the correct prescription at no extra cost.

Whether you want to book a styling appointment or just stop by after your next exam, our team is ready to help you find glasses that work as hard as your eyes do.
