You can order almost anything online but what about affordable eyewear that you can really trust to be high quality? Eyewear that looks great and provides you with excellent vision? That’s exactly what you’ll get with Direct Vision! We believe you shouldn’t have to settle for “good enough” when buying glasses online, wherever you are in Canada. We believe you should get the absolute best without having to exceed your budget.
Our Story
In 2018, our co-founder Joey was an MBA student and started to experience eye strain – it was a visit to his optometrist confirmed he needed glasses. That’s when things started to get frustrating. First, the so-called unique online glasses providers were actually owned by the same handful of suppliers. Then, as soon as he found anything within his budget, the quality dropped off a cliff.
Joey told his cousin, Kyle, about his struggles to find high-quality eyewear on a budget. Kyle had just graduated in business and knew the optical industry. It was the perfect match – Joey and Kyle got to work on the problem of how to provide affordable, stylish, and high-quality eyewear, and Direct Vision was born!
The Direct Vision Difference
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why buy glasses online?”, there are 3 perks to consider. First, with COVID safety in mind, buying glasses online saves you a trip to the store. Then, there is the convenience of shopping from the comfort of your couch, taking all the time you want, with no pressure or rush or finalize your decision. Finally, there is cost – without the overheads of a shop and its staff, online glasses prices can be significantly lower, suiting all budgets and lifestyles.
Why buy prescription glasses online in Canada with Direct Vision, though?
