Clearly West Edmonton

Booking your spot in advance gives you a guaranteed space in the Clearly West Edmonton store. You can still come in without an appointment, but we always recommend booking beforehand. If you already have an eye exam booked, you don’t need a store appointment.

Routine eye exams aren’t covered by Alberta Health for people between the ages of 19 and 64. Please visit the Government of Alberta website for more information. 

Yes, Clearly offers direct billing online and in-store.

Visit your nearest Clearly store to claim your vision insurance benefits upfront, skip the paperwork and save money on your eyewear. Whether you have workplace insurance, student coverage, or coverage through a partner or carer, you can use your benefits at your nearest Clearly store.

To claim your benefits in-store, please bring your insurance information and your prescription with you. Our team will help process your direct billing claim.

If your insurance provider isn't eligible for direct billing, or if you prefer to process your claim manually, you can submit a receipt directly to your provider (along with any other required paperwork). We'll send your receipt once your order has shipped.

Alberta Blue Cross members: We apologize for the inconvenience, but Alberta Blue Cross does not allow direct billing claims within our Alberta stores. However, you can still use direct billing when you shop for glasses and contacts online, or submit a claim after your store purchase. Here's how.

"The cost of a full eye exam will depend on your vision needs and your optometrist’s expertise. Eye exam prices at Clearly’s partner clinic in Edmonton, Asgarpour Optometry, range as follows:

• $95 for adults between 19 and 64  
• The Alberta Health Care (AHC) Insurance Plan provides annual coverage for children (0-18 years) and seniors (65 and above) 
• Eye exam & contact lens assessments and fittings start from $125 

Please visit the Government of Alberta website for more information. 

Most extended benefits programs offer reimbursement for eye exams, so make sure to inquire about your coverage. "

The prices of our glasses and contacts are the same in-store as they are online. However, we often run exclusive in-store promotions so it’s always worth talking to our experts so we can find the best deal for you. 

If we have your contacts in stock, you can pick them up on the same day at our Clearly West Edmonton Mall location. You’ll need to bring a valid contact lens prescription and show it to the team.  
 
Glasses orders take a little longer, as we have to create your custom lenses and fit them into your chosen frames. We can arrange to ship your glasses directly to you, or you can pick them up in-store. Typically, glasses orders take about 2 weeks. If you ordered your glasses online and want to pick them up in the store, you’ll also need to show us your valid glasses prescription.

There's plenty of free parking at West Edmonton Mall! 

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who provides eye surgeries. An optometrist (or eye doctor) is your primary eye care professional. They provide routine eye care (eye exams and vision tests), eye prescriptions (for glasses and contact lenses), and treatments for common eye conditions (dry eyes, glaucoma, and eye infections). You can also get pre- and post-eye surgery care from our local optometrists.

If you’re looking for an optometrist in Edmonton, book an eye exam or a store visit with us online.

Our optometrists will test your vision through a series of tests in a full eye exam:

• Refractive issues: nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, or presbyopia 
• Overall perception: colour vision, depth perception, and eye coordination 
• Assessment of vision loss: “lazy eye” (amblyopia), glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, cataracts, and keratoconus 
• Assessment of other health conditions: vascular diseases, neurological diseases, inflammatory diseases, and certain cancers 

Maintain your eye health and overall health effectively with a regular eye exam every one to two years. 

Before visiting our optometrists for an eye exam or routine eye checkup appointment, be prepared to bring the following:

• A list of any medications that you currently use

• All pairs of glasses that you currently use

• If you are a contact lens wearer, please wear your glasses to the appointment (if available), and bring your contact lens boxes/foils

• Your provincial health card

Almost anyone with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia can wear contact lenses. It’s best to see what your eye doctor recommends since contacts are medical devices and they are made using different shapes, sizes, and materials. Book an eye exam today for a valid contact lens prescription and initial contact lens fitting. 

If you need vision correction for astigmatism, toric contact lenses may be suitable depending on your optometrist assessment. Regular contacts aren’t designed with the necessary shape and prescription power to correct blurry vision caused by astigmatism. Book an eye exam today for a valid contact lens prescription and initial contact lens fitting.

A full eye exam is a thorough assessment of your vision quality and eye health. If you want to wear contact lenses for the first time or if you need a new prescription, you’ll need a contact lens exam.  

It includes a contact lens fitting to ensure ideal measurements for the best lens fit. If you need a new glasses prescription, a full eye exam is sufficient. Learn about the differences between contact lens and glasses prescriptions.
