VerifEyewear: The Only Online Eyewear Company Backed By The Opticians Association of Canada

TORONTO - Nov. 19, 2015 - PRLog -- When it comes to buying a new pair of glasses, using the internet seems like an easy and affordable way to shop.

This can lead to issues with seeing properly as pairs sold online are not ‘verified’ by an eyecare professional. VerifEyewear is the ONLY online eyewear company that is approved by the Opticians Association of Canada (OAC) because it goes through the process of ensuring the pair of glasses you order online will actually fit properly and match your prescription when you receive them.

“The Opticians Association of Canada (OAC) recommends all Canadians consult a licensed Optician when purchasing eyewear,” said  Robert Dalton, Executive Director of the Opticians Association of Canada.

VerifEyewear is the ONLY company that ensures the pair you order online has been checked by an Optician. When you order a pair from VerifEyewear, it is delivered to an partnered Optician near you so you can have a proper fitting before you take them home (all at no additional charge). Simply put in your postal code and pick it up from a partnered optician.

“VerifEyewear uses only licensed Opticians to ensure that the vision care products you choose are inspected and dispensed by a qualified team of Opticians,” said Dalton. “ The OAC is confident VerifEyewear is a safe choice for vision care consumers looking for online solutions.”

Eyewear is a medical device and people should not be taking chances when it comes to buying their glasses online. This was the reason VerifEyewear president Paul Faibish created the company.

“The online eyewear industry is risky for consumers because there is nothing in place to guarantee your prescription is accurate and that the fit is proper,” he said. “The current online purchasing process cuts the optician out of the equation resulting in increased errors and returns. We have worked with the Opticians Association of Canada to ensure that glasses are checked for accuracy by a professional before you receive them.”

Available in a variety of styles and brands, VerifEyewear also offers exceptional quality and uses the most advanced lens technology in the industry. While still offering glasses at an affordable price.

"People who buy glasses online should not have to worry that they are getting cheap knock offs or poor quality lenses,” said Faibish, adding VerifEyewear sells the trusted authentic brands. “Eyecare providers should also not have to lose business to the online retail market.”

By including the eyecare provider in the online shopping process, a new opportunity to build traffic within a practice has been created.

“Our partners are licensed opticians who know how important it is that the person who buys a pair of glasses online should feel confident that the prescription is as accurate as when they would have bought them in a store,” said Faibish.

By having the approval of the Opticians Association of Canada, buys can be confident that the pair of glasses you buy from VerifEyewear has been checked and fitted properly.
