MY APPROACH

Vision is not simply about seeing clearly with each eye. It is much more than that. It's about seeing comfortably. It's about your optometrist fine tuning your spectacle or contact lens prescription, so that you can adapt to the visual change as easily as possible. It's about understanding that the modern work environment involves complex visual tasks. It's not just reading a document on the desk in front of you. It's looking at multiple computer screens, laptop and cellphone screens in the same space. Your vision correction needs to work for you even with all of this. Only an optometrist with years of experience and a deep understanding of human interaction with our environment, and a thorough knowledge of corrective lens technology will result in you achieving clear comfortable vision.

REVIEWS

Google review of The Saben Spectacle Co. by Russell Thomson★★★★★ "Wow! I was blown away by the service Michael and Lucille offered me. As a Doctor, I was MOST impressed with the time he spent listening to my rather complicated eye history. He took the time to listen and has been the first person to actually EXPLAIN issues to me. He is kind, compassionate and utterly professional. I would Tate her service and attention 10/10 and would HIGHLY recommend him."

Google review of The Saben Spectacle Co. by Zeenat Arnold★★★★★ "Michael and Lucille at The Saben Spectacle Co are amazing. I have been a client of theirs for 7 years and have received impeccable service and advice. Michael is very attentive, listens and always understands my concerns and requirements. They have a wide variety of eyewear to suit most and take time helping you choose the best one for your needs. I have never been disappointed! Thank you Michael and Lucille for helping me maintain healthy eyes!"

Google review of The Saben Spectacle Co. by Helen G★★★★★ "Highly recommended for professional, efficient and friendly service. Convenient location. Lovely selection of frames. 10/10. Michael has been my optometrist for over a decade, managing my rather complicated vision situation and seemlessly moving me from normal specs to multi-focals when the time came. It’s always a pleasure to visit – from the thorough eye test to speedy turnaround time to care taken to make sure the new specs fit well. They even open early so it’s possible to get the whole appointment done before work."

Are your digital devices hurting your eyes?

Symptoms associated with the long term use of digital eye devices include: eye strain, dryness, soreness and blurred vision.

We recommend seeing your optomestrist to have your prescription and binocular vision checked.

Do your feel eyestrain even with your new glasses?

Do your feel eyestrain even with your new glasses? Does it seem difficult to concentrate when working?

It might be that your eyes are not working efficiently with each other. It’s similar to the wheels of your car being out of alignment. Your car drives forward but it is not easy to steer.

To solve this problem known as Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD), micro-prisms are incorporated into your spectacle lenses to realign the image that each eye receives. This reduces the strain caused by the muscle imbalance of the eyes.
