Eye Shades Optical has been serving Burnaby for over 20 years, and they’re the first place I tell neighbours to go when they need reliable eyewear and practical eye care. Known for their relaxed, knowledgeable approach and a wide selection of independent frame brands, they stand out for offering more than quick fixes. Expect careful testing, honest recommendations, and frames that actually fit your face and lifestyle.

They provide comprehensive eye exams, full contact lens services, and an extensive frame gallery. The clinic carries designer and boutique lines including Ray-Ban and Oakley, as well as lesser-known Canadian and European labels, all displayed across a bright 900-square-foot showroom. If you need lenses, they supply single-vision, progressive and anti-reflective coatings, plus high-index and polarised options. Contact lens fittings include daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal contacts, with follow-up visits built into the fitting fee.

What I appreciate most is how they work, it’s practical and person-centred. The optician team includes registered dispensing opticians and certified contact lens fitters who take time to measure face shape, temple width and pupillary distance, and to adjust frames on-site. They run digital lens verification and offer same-day minor repairs in their repair bench. Appointments are available for urgent needs and walk-ins are welcome for frame adjustments and quick repairs.

People choose Eye Shades Optical because they get transparent pricing, practical advice, and a friendly local team that remembers names. They support community programs, accept most insurance plans, and often sponsor local school vision screenings. If you want clear vision and frames you enjoy wearing, Eye Shades feels like the dependable optician on your block.
