Here at Merivale Vision Care we absolutely love to support local in our area.

If you’re anything like us, you’re passionate about all things local. Here at Merivale Vision Care we absolutely love to support local whether it be fashion boutiques, restaurants, or any other business in our area. We love knowing that small local businesses are getting support and are serving our community well. We also love to represent local too and thought what better way than to represent local than to wear local?

We’ve created our very own fashion-forward and affordable eyewear collection just for you, our Merivale Vision Care patients. Please meet our EyeSeeYOW eyewear collection, where each model is named after a particular neighbourhood right here in Ottawa, and exclusively available at our optical boutique and that of our sister office Wellington Vision Care. When you select your favourite EyeSeeYOW frame and opt to put your prescription lenses into it, you will receive a $100 discount on your eyeglasses purchase! Great style, supporting local, representing local and super savings too. Ok, now on to the fun part: a few of our favourite styles!

Lower Town in Ottawa is known for being a hub for artists and startups, so it is no surprise that our Lower Town frame model is an edgy, artsy, cat-eye-leaning shape framed in gold metal and trimmed in nude blush pink.

Bel-Air Heights is known for its classic, cozy, comfortable, and family-friendly space in the west end of Ottawa. Our Bel-Air Heights frame is just that, classic in shape, comfortable with its acetate material, and robust enough to withstand handling that can come from certain smaller-sized family members that might be intrigued by your glasses.

The Mechanicsville neighbourhood likely earned its name from Ottawa tradespeople who originally resided in that area. Our Mechanicsville frame has a classic and subtly industrial look with its gold metal and rounded shape.

Greenboro is a lovely neighbourhood known for its nature trails, parks, and is a major transit hub for people travelling around the city. Our Greenboro frame hints at nature in its subtly striated frame pattern and nods to the roads and transit with its slate gray colour and universally accessible frame shape.

Wondering if our EyeSeeYOW collection includes your neighbourhood? Book an appointment with us to check out the collection, find your neighbourhood and select your signature frame style all at a great price. We know you’re going to love what you see here.
