From Prescription to Perfect Vision — Without the 2-Week Wait.
Most optical clinics ship prescriptions away to distant third-party factories. At Factory Optical, your lenses are cut, edged, and hand-calibrated right here in our Vancouver facility.
Effortless Visual Adaptation
Even a 1mm misalignment in pupil distance causes eye fatigue. Our master opticians hand-calibrate optical centers to reduce peripheral distortion, ensuring an instant, natural transition.
On-Site Lab Efficiency
With our Vancouver lab on-site, we eliminate shipping delays and complete most prescriptions significantly faster, keeping quality and timing fully under our local control.
Lifetime Local Accountability
Need fine-tuning, nose pad adjustments, or frame re-balancing? Walk in anytime. Because we build your lenses locally, we service and stand behind every pair we make.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my prescription include my Pupillary Distance (PD)?▼
Yes, absolutely — at no extra charge. Unlike many optical clinics that withhold your PD or charge extra fees for it, we accurately measure your PD during your visit and print it directly on your official prescription.
Do you dilate eyes during the exam?▼
No, we do not dilate your eyes. Our advanced 3D OCT and high-resolution retinal cameras capture comprehensive images through your natural pupils without stinging eye drops.
Can you bill directly to my insurance plan?▼
Yes! Bring your extended health card (Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, Desjardins, ClaimSecure, etc.). Our staff submits the claim electronically on the spot, so you only pay the remaining difference.
Is the prescription legally valid across BC and Canada?▼
100% yes. All examinations are conducted and reviewed by fully licensed, board-certified Doctors of Optometry. The medical prescription you receive is legally binding anywhere in Canada.
Are Same-Day appointments actually available?▼
Yes! By connecting our clinic directly with licensed Optometrists via high-definition exam stations, we provide much faster scheduling than traditional practices. Call 604-294-0113 to be seen today.
