Visions One Hour Optical is 100% B.C. owned and operated and proud of it! We opened our first location in 1988, in Victoria B.C. Since then we have been proud to expand to our current 10 locations. We believe our success can be attributed to four things; great service, selection, value, and most importantly, our professional Opticians are second to none.
Each of our Super Optical Stores offer over 1500 quality frames to choose as well as a wide array of lenses which are fabricated by our lab technicians, in our in store Optical Laboratories. Together this is an unbeatable combination allowing us to provide quality eyewear at better pricing than the American chain stores. Since we craft our eyeglasses in our in store laboratories, we can produce most orders in about an hour with impeccable quality control each step of the way. By not having to send your eyeglasses to a distant lab for processing we are able to save our customers both time and money.
Giving back to the community has always been important to the Directors of Visions One Hour Optical. Visions One Hour Optical gives back through many corporate donations to local events and charities. Visions has sponsored Canuck Place, local sports teams, and been part of the popular food bank and Christmas tree programs. Visions is also proud to support third world eye care programs by donating new eyeglasses. The ten locations of Visions One Hour Optical are also donation points for used eyeglasses, which also go to the third world, giving needy people the gift of sight.
About Our One Hour Service
The most frequently asked question we get at Visions One Hour Optical is, "How can you make my eyeglasses in just one hour?" The answer is simple: when you order eyeglasses from Visions One Hour Optical your eyeglasses are hand crafted right in the store. We have a huge selection of Single Vision, Bifocal, and Progressive lenses in our stock. Instead of sending your order to an outside laboratory where it gets stacked in a line up of jobs from all over B.C., it is made right here by one technician. This saves time and money for the consumer. Single Vision lenses with Anti Reflective coatings and High Index Single Vision lenses can also be made in store in about one hour. The only time your order is sent out is for Anti Reflective coatings on Bifocals and Progressives. Even in the case we send out your order for a coating, you are still saving time and money because we will grind your lenses in store first, and then send them for the coating process.
