I have always been curious to find out why? Luckily, I walked into Sight N' Steps, and her friendliness gave me courage to finally ask the question. She looked at me, smiled and responded with enthusiasm.

"In Canada, any and all medical devices must be dispensed by a licensed professional who has had proper education and sufficient training to do so. Eyeglasses are no exception. Eyeglasses, when prepared with your prescription, become medical devices and therefore be dispensed by a licensed optician or a Doctor of Optometry".

"But anyone can bend the frames and tighten screws?" I replied quickly as Lori, the Licensed Optician at Sight N' Steps continued examining my eyeglasses from various angles.

"It's not about bending the frame, it is about ensuring how i can help you maximize your vision".
