The holidays have a way of sneaking up on all of us – one minute you’re enjoying fall, the next you’re trying to wrap gifts, finish work deadlines, and find something actually flattering to wear to the office party.
But if you also need glasses or contacts before the holidays, don’t panic – you’re not out of time, not if we have anything to say about it!
At Eyewear Experts, our opticians make last-minute vision upgrades simple, fast, and stress-free…so you can focus on the celebrations, not the squinting.
Whether you’re prepping for holiday photos, stocking up on contact lenses, or needing fresh prescription lenses before you hit the road to visit family, we’ve got your back (and your eyes).
Why December Is the Month of “Uh-Oh… I Need New Glasses.”
Even though December marks the start of fresh fallen snow, holiday cheer, and ALL the winter fun, but this month also brings:
- More screen time (hello, online shopping and staying indoors more often)
- More driving in the dark
- More holiday photos and social events
- More “Did I forget something?” moments
It’s also the “use it or lose it” rush – your remaining benefits could expire before the calendar flips. If you’re scrambling for Glasses or Contacts Before the Holidays, you’re in exactly the right place.
Last-Minute (But Smart!) Vision Fixes | There’s Still Time!
When it comes to those last-minute eye care needs, our on-site 1HR lab is here to save the day! This means you can walk in blurry and walk out seeing clearly – whether your frames are feeling outdated or your vision has shifted, we can craft many types of prescription lenses the same day so you can keep life moving and see it all while you do.
This is absolutely perfect for:
- Holiday travel
- Nighttime driving
- Office party glow-ups
- Last-minute “I swear my vision was fine yesterday?!” moments
Sometimes, life happens fast, and our eyes change just as quickly! If you’re in a pinch and need a hand, stop by our Red Deer location today, and we’ll help you on your way in no time!
2. Stock Up on Contact Lenses Before You Run Out
Running low on contact lenses before the holidays is a special kind of stress – especially when optometrist offices start booking up or closing for the season.
We can help with:
- Daily, bi-weekly, and monthly contacts
- Toric and multifocal lenses
- Specialty fits
- Back-up contacts for winter travel
If comfort and clarity matter (and they do), this is the time to get stocked up.
Upgrade Your Lenses for Winter Living
Winter means lots of glare, low light, reflections, dry eyes, and, therefore, infamous eye strain. With a quick lens upgrade, the whole season can be made much, much easier. Our opticians can customize prescription lenses with:
- Digital high-definition optics
- Anti-glare or anti-reflective coatings
- Blue-light protection
- Scratch resistance
- Transitions
- Polarized sun lenses
As they say, the smallest change can make the biggest difference – and we agree, especially when you’re doing late-night gift wrapping or long winter drives and need those eyes to be on-point.
Treat Yourself to a New Pair of Glasses | A Gift From You…To You!
If you want holiday photos where you actually like your glasses this time, then this is your sign.
Our Red Deer showroom has one of the largest eyewear inventories in Western Canada – from minimalist metals to bold designer frames to make you stand out. Whether you want festive, trendy, or classic, we’ll help you pick the perfect pair that aligns with your personality best!
And yes… we can put prescription lenses in your current frames too, if you’re loyal to your favourite pair.
Replace Scratched or Damaged Lenses
If you’ve been living with lenses that are scratched, cloudy, peeling, chipped, or impossible to clean – you don’t need to start the new year like that.
Bring in your glasses, and we’ll get you fresh prescription lenses that feel and look brand new.
