Vision is THE single most critical sensory component in the human body, I believe in hiring the best. A friend referred me to the Calgary Vision Centre knowing my high standards. I made an appointment with Dr. Burke whom I later learned graduated from one of the top Optometry schools in the US. This brought peace of mind given the programs down south are much more rigorous and competitive than those in Canada. The exam was the single most thorough I have ever had. There are a battery of tests conducted over a 20 minute period with digital equipment that map all the components for your eye. The equipment is infrared, ultrasound, etc. Dr. Burke then spends nearly 30 minutes walking through all the tests and makes recommendations. The level of technology was nothing like I had ever seen. I concur with my friends recommendation; Calgary Vision Centre is the most advanced eye clinic in the Calgary market and Dr. Burke is one of the leading Doctors of Optometry in Alberta. Calgary Vision Centre charges $129 for an exam. Given you only have to go once every other year; any person who considers themselves halfway intelligent should be willing to pay an extra $30 to see the best. I had a nice surprise after finishing the exam when I learned Blue Cross covered my entire cost of the exam. They also have the ability to direct bill your insurance for glasses and contacts, which is also a nice benefit. Despite these great benefits, I'd gladly pay to see Dr. Burke again even if it wasn't covered. If you value your eyesight, Calgary Vision Centre is without a doubt the best clinic in the Calgary market.

Countless times I have walked past Optiko, glancing from a distance. Without much attention I've…read morepassed it off as a fancy technology retailer, car dealership, and swarvoski store. Every detail in this store is illuminated. Even the floor is glittery. Backwalls and displays are lit with blue and purple lights. Too rich for my blood, I thought. It wasn't until I was actually looking for an optical place, I walked into Optiko. Browsing around, I found a good selection of brand name eyewear. They carry Chrome Hearts (which is pretty ballin since there's less than a handful of places that do). They don't carry the usual selection of brands other optical places carry. An honorable mention, is the amount of unique designer peices they stock. I can't say many places carry the wood frame Ray Bans or the Cat eye Prada frames. Simply put, most stores won't carry them for fear of them not being able to sell. What does this mean for Calgary shoppers? Limited selection, limited choices and boring standard products. The eclectic, the unique and fashionable live here. Optiko breaks the mold for the safe and standard. Kudos for having the best selectiof of upscale designer products and ever friendly staff. I had a really good time shopping here. Review #9 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

This isn't your average spot, located near the 17th Ave and 4th St intersection, they offer a wide range of examinations and glasses options. They even carry the very cool and forward thinking brands ECO and Modo. Now you may be thinking, why would I bother going to the optometrist, I don't need glasses! My first question to you would be, are you sure, when did you last get your eyes examined? You are supposed to go every two years at the least. Now I am not a frequent glasses wearer, I have a pair for night time driving, but just like going to the dentist or the doctor, I get my regular check ups. My family members are frequent glasses wearers, so I have been visiting optometrists regularly for almost 30 years, and Dr Ross is by far the most courteous, understanding, and knowledgeable one I have come across. He took the time to go over each test and why they were doing them as well as explained the results with me. He didn't talk down to me, and he answered all my questions patiently until I understood it completely. I highly recommend visiting Eye Spy Optometry, whether for an exam or a new pair of sunglasses, you won't be disappointed!
