We edge (cut) lenses right in our Edmonton office, which means that we offer a more personalized and quality experience in the making of your eyeglasses. Commercial labs, due to their large volume, often edge thousands of pairs of eyeglasses a day and yours is only one of the many on the assembly line. Every frame is unique and even two frames from the same batch could have small sizing differences as many of the frames these days are handmade. Different frame materials often have different tolerance to being stretched or heated. Commercial labs simply do not have the time to account for these subtle details and therefore your lenses might be slightly too big or too small in a frame. When lenses are too big, they create invisible stress marks on them and sometimes the stress causes lenses to chip, coatings to crack and even distortion in vision. When lenses are too big, frames often get fine scratches during lens insertion due to force. When the lenses are too small, they can make a squeaky noise in the frame or even fall out with or without impact. Edging is a craft and let us make your eyeglasses with our skilled and experienced opticians.

Glasses inevitably get smudged and dirty. They get into contact with skin oils, dry skin flakes, makeup, moisturizers, dust, dirt, and everyday handling. At River City Eye Care, our Edmonton patients receive a complimentary service to clean your eyeglasses with our ultrasonic cleaner. While you should clean your glasses regularly with lens spray and a microfibre cloth, the ultrasonic cleaner does a much better job by removing dirt from all the hard-to-reach crevices. Just pop in and your glasses will look like new again.
