We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!

New Website Coming Soon!

A lot of our Vancouver glasses customers wear eyeglasses regularly instead of contact lenses. Wearing glasses means you don’t have to worry as much about dry eye or irritation, you can shave a few minutes off your morning and bedtime routines, and you’re not in danger of losing a lens if you get poked in the eye while playing sports. But there is the sunglasses conundrum. Switching from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses can be a pain. You always have to remember to bring your sunnies with you and it’s easy to lose them (or your glasses) when it’s time…

You go online or walk into an eyewear store and the choices for glasses can seem endless. Is there a trick for how to choose glasses? Should you just grab the first pair that appeals to you or is it better to spend hours trying all of the frames on? As experts in helping customers choose the best eyeglass frames, we can tell you that, no, you don’t need to try on hundreds of frames or settle for the first ones to catch your eye. By keeping some key things in mind, you can narrow down your options and find…

A number of sports require protective gear, ranging from full-on pads and helmets to just a mouthguard or shin guards. However, many times, the eyes are left exposed, as it’s not all that common for protective sports eyewear to be mandated. Often, only people who normally wear prescription eyeglasses will turn to sports glasses. Yet, anyone can benefit from them. Today, we’re discussing eye safety for athletes and sharing tips to protect your vision. THE PREVALENCE OF SPORTS-RELATED EYE INJURIES It’s estimated that around 30,000 sports-related eye injuries are seen at the emergency room in the United States every year. It also…

While face shape and lifestyle will play a big part in deciding on the perfect eyeglass frames for you, your personality and personal style are also important factors to consider. One of the things we pride ourselves on at our Kerrisdale eyewear store is helping our customers pick out the most flattering and functional frames. While nothing beats getting help from an eyewear pro at the Spectacle Shoppe, we thought we’d have a little fun by putting together a quiz to determine which eyeglass frames match your personality. Write down your answers and then tally them at the end for…

More and more people are working from home in an effort to practice social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic. For many, having all meetings and communications via computer, tablet or phone is a huge change. Not only does it take some time to get used to the various apps and tools, but it also takes time to adjust to staring at a screen all day, which often leads to digital eye strain. To help you keep your eyes feeling fresh and comfortable, the team at the Spectacle Shoppe is sharing some of our tips for avoiding digital eye strain. What is…

It might seem like almost everyone you know eventually has to wear glasses at some point in their life. Why is that? Well, meet presbyopia, a completely natural and normal loss of the ability to focus on things up close that typically happens after the age of 40. The bad news is, no one can escape it and presbyopia inevitably affects everyone. The good news is, some people notice a minimal impact and for everyone else, the issue is easily fixed by wearing reading glasses or switching up your current contacts or lenses to account for near vision. In fact,…

There has been a lot of buzz around blue light. We actually wrote about the health effects of blue light all the way back in 2015. At that time, research on the subject was really just beginning in earnest. Now, as more studies have been done and we’ve become even more immersed in major sources of blue light like digital devices, we felt like it was time to revisit the topic. WHAT IS BLUE LIGHT? First things first, what is blue light? Any time we walk outside or turn on the lights, we’re exposed to a whole bunch of different visible light…

Having dry eyes is uncomfortable. Your eyes might feel irritated and scratchy or you could even experience blurred vision. Sometimes, people just live with the symptoms thinking they’ll go away on their own or that it’s not that big of a deal. However, if you’re suffering from dry eye syndrome, it is a chronic condition that can be progressive, depending on the cause and how severe it is. Thankfully, there are treatments and home remedies for dry eyes that can help. The team here at the Spectacle Shoppe is sharing how to get relief in our guide to dry eyes. WHAT…
