Our friendly staff at Focus West Optometry in Calgary is focused on serving you and meeting your every vision health need. We make it a policy that all staff members are up-to-date on the latest technology and techniques to make your visit as comfortable and effective as possible. If you are experiencing problems with your vision, don't delay going for a check-up.
Do you experience blurry vision or headaches? It's probably time for an eye test. At Focus West Optometry, our primary eye care providers are experienced and trained to provide you with comprehensive ocular health assessments, contact lens fittings, refractions and more. Problems with your vision can begin at any age; while some may be present from birth, others can develop from eye strain or other health conditions.
Focus West Optometry offers reliable solutions for correcting vision defects. We are committed to protecting the ocular health of our customers. If you are experiencing any signs of vision irregularities or strain, our eye specialists can help. You can count on us for eye examinations which can be helpful in early detection of ocular diseases.
Did you know that our sense of sight is probably what we use most? This is precisely why eye care is very important. In order to combat eye-related issues, we offer eye examinations in Calgary. Regular eye tests can help check how well you can see and understand how healthy your eyes are, thus helping you to identify problems early on.
Toddlers, children, and adolescents aren't the most articulate bunch. So, many tots with eye conditions do not know how to express themselves when a problem exists. Plus, those with vision issues at birth have a limited frame of reference in determining how objects should actually appear. Industry experts note that up to 25% of primary school-aged children have unresolved vision issues.

This was definitely the best experience when it comes to eye exam. Doctor was super patient and knowledgeable, willing to answer to all my questions, took time to exam my vision properly with no rush! I have no words to be good enough to explain how helpful the staff was with helping me to choose perfect frames that fit me the best. Especially nowadays when every single frame that was tried has to be disinfected again, the lady didn't hesitate to offer me minimum 20 different styles so I can be sure which ones are the "one"! Highly recommend!

I got a real sense of genuine care for the patient and integrity both times I've had full eye exams here. Dr Gaume and the staff are great. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an optometrist!

My appointment was in April, so it has been almost year but I waited to review
I did purchase new glasses at the appointment, but I am very disappointed with them. I have not been able to wear them, any longer then a few hours and I am dizzy and nauseas and extreme headaches.
I was not able to adjust to the new glasses ( which is why I waited so long to review incase I did)
I end up wearing my old glasses, I do not have coverage, So I am very upset with the loss of money
the exam it's was also very very quick, which might have affect the accuracy of the prescription , the doctor was polite

I went to the Visions West Hills yesterday evening to pick up a fire TV stick and I asked the employee three times if I have to pay for everything else besides buying the stick or is everything free he told me to open up a Google account and I don't have to pay for anything else and I asked him three times because I knew nothing about this pic. Well it looks like I have to pay for services but I get the apps for free. I called Visions this morning and the gentleman told me that I was absurd to think that any customer would think that you would get the services for free. I would bypass this electronics

Just dropped in to have my wife's glasses repaired & the service was amazing. Fixed the glasses for free and wouldn't accept any payment. Pleasantly surprised by such generousity, I tried to purchase a cleaning cloth - which was also complimentary! Thank you so much!

Booking the appointment was super easy. Staff were friendly, inviting and informative. They took note of my husband's sensitive eyes and did as much as they could to ensure the exam went smoothly. Dr. Julie was by far one of the best I've had, and was super friendly in updating my prescription. Clean, open, bright store with nice selection of frames.
