Here’s what you need to know about visiting Clearly Chinook Centre:

- In-store Virtual Try On: Browse the store and try frames on using your phone with our touchless Virtual Try On tool.
- Rigorous sanitization: All glasses sanitized after each use, regularly wiping down all surfaces.
- PPE and barriers in place: We ask that all staff and visitors please wear a mask.
Glasses and contacts and more (oh my!)
Whether you love your specs, stick mostly to contacts, or dabble in both, we’ve got all your eyewear needs covered:

Buy One, Give One
Getting new pair of glasses at Clearly doesn’t end at improving your own vision – you’re also helping someone in need. When you buy a pair, you can also choose to donate a pair through our Buy One, Give One program.
So far, we’ve committed 475,000+ pairs to people living in 51 countries around the world – and it all starts with you.
Free Glasses for Kids
As part of Our Mission to eradicate poor vision, we’re working hard to make sure eyewear is accessible and affordable for everyone. Through our Free Glasses for Kids initiative, children age 10 and under can get a free pair of glasses at any Clearly retail store.
Identifying and correcting vision issues early on can make a vital difference in a child’s life – 80% of classroom learning is visual, and yet nearly 25% of children have untreated vision problems. When left untreated, these issues can cause frustration, learning difficulties, and a negative self-image.
Our goal is to make sure every child has the opportunity to see their full potential. To get a free pair of glasses, all you need is your child’s valid prescription and health card. Bring these into Clearly Chinook Centre and pick out a pair of frames that will help your child feel confident and ready to take on challenges in and out of the classroom.
Book a store visit at Calgary Chinook Centre to take advantage of this program. If it’s time for your child’s annual eye exam, you can also book an appointment online.
Eye exams and optometrist services
When was your last eye exam? Take it from the pros – adults should get their eyes checked every 1-2 years, and children should have an eye exam every year.
As well as making sure your prescription is up to date, a comprehensive eye exam can diagnose vision problems such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, as well as other health concerns.
Book online to get your eyes examined by Clearly’s on-site partner Doctors of Optometry and experience the latest ophthalmic technology. Eye exam customers will also get exclusive discounts on Clearly’s huge range of glasses and contact lenses.
The complete list of optometry services at Clearly Chinook Centre includes:
- Comprehensive eye exams
- Contact lens assessments and fittings
- Digital retinal 3D imaging
- Pre- and post-operative care
- Seniors eye exams
- Paediatric eye exams
- Cataract assessment
- Red eye visits
We also have opticians on hand to help with:
- Complimentary glasses fittings
- Frame adjustments
- PD measurements
