Come visit us in store to learn about prices and special promotions. The prices of our contacts are the same in store as they are online, however our frames and lenses retail prices and promotions may vary.

If we have your contacts in stock, you can pick them up on the same day at our For Eyes by Clearly West Edmonton Mall location. You’ll need to bring a valid contact lens prescription and show it to the team.  
 
Glasses orders take a little longer, as we have to create your custom lenses and fit them into your chosen frames. We can arrange to ship your glasses directly to you at an additional cost, or you can pick them up in-store free of charge. Typically, glasses orders take about 2 weeks.

There's plenty of free parking at West Edmonton Mall! 

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who provides eye surgeries. An optometrist (or eye doctor) is your primary eye care professional. They provide routine eye care (eye exams and vision tests), eye prescriptions (for glasses and contact lenses), and treatments for common eye conditions (dry eyes, glaucoma, and eye infections). You can also get pre- and post-eye surgery care from our local optometrists.

Our optometrists will test your vision through a series of tests in a full eye exam:

• Refractive issues: nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, or presbyopia 
• Overall perception: colour vision, depth perception, and eye coordination 
• Assessment of vision loss: “lazy eye” (amblyopia), glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, cataracts, and keratoconus 
• Assessment of other health conditions: vascular diseases, neurological diseases, inflammatory diseases, and certain cancers 

Maintain your eye health and overall health effectively with a regular eye exam every one to two years. 

Before visiting our optometrists for an eye exam or routine eye checkup appointment, be prepared to bring the following:

• A list of any medications that you currently use

• All pairs of glasses that you currently use

• If you are a contact lens wearer, please wear your glasses to the appointment (if available), and bring your contact lens boxes/foils

• Your provincial health card

Almost anyone with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia can wear contact lenses. It’s best to see what your eye doctor recommends since contacts are medical devices and they are made using different shapes, sizes, and materials. Book an eye exam today for a valid contact lens prescription and initial contact lens fitting. 

If you need vision correction for astigmatism, toric contact lenses may be suitable depending on your optometrist assessment. Regular contacts aren’t designed with the necessary shape and prescription power to correct blurry vision caused by astigmatism. Book an eye exam today for a valid contact lens prescription and initial contact lens fitting.

A full eye exam is a thorough assessment of your vision quality and eye health. If you want to wear contact lenses for the first time or if you need a new prescription, you’ll need a contact lens exam.  

It includes a contact lens fitting to ensure ideal measurements for the best lens fit. If you need a new glasses prescription, a full eye exam is sufficient. Learn about the differences between contact lens and glasses prescriptions.
