Not all Retinas are created equal; similarly, not all lenses are created equal. The reason why you find such a big difference in lens prices is because there is such a big difference in lenses. At Sight N' Steps Ajax and Pickering locations, the only lenses we dispense for our patients are the ones made by either Essilor or Nikon. Essilor is the world largest eyewear lens manufacturer and Nikon we all know from the camera lenses that they are one of the top brand of lenses. Even then within the Essilor or Nikon catalogues, the only lenses we dispenses for our patients are the ones that have been extensively researched and been proven successful.

The result of all this effort on our part is improved vision for Sight N' Steps patients, less fatigue, no more eye strain, and none or significantly reduced blurry spots on your peripheral vision. 

"Optical industry is a very diverse industry", Said Dr. Khan, Lead Optometrist at Sight N' Steps Ajax Location. "You can get lenses in the market for fifty dollars for a prescription, or you can get lenses for One Thousand Fifty Dollars for the exact same prescription. The difference is your vision!!"

"It's all about educating your patients on why their lenses cost what they cost. There are many optical establishments in and around Durham Region dispensing prescription lenses that may have been designed in the 80's and 90's. Our lifestyle is very different today than it was back then", Says a very enthusiastic Dr. Khan. "We are constantly in front of our high definition computer, tv and smart phone screens, taking in constant rays of blue light which is very dangerous to our eyesight".

Sight N’ Steps along with its highly distinguished partners like Nikon Lenswear, and Essilor Canada, takes this very seriously. Unlike many other optical establishments, each pair of eyeglasses dispensed at Sight N’ Steps comes with authenticity card for your frame brand and a world-wide warranty card from Nikon Lenswear. At Sight N' Steps, We encourage our patients to research on the type of lenses we recommend for them so they can make an educated decision.

The reliability of the Nikon brand stems from the high-calibre technical developments and R&D activities that have been ongoing since the company’s inception in 1917.
