Free Eye Exam in Okotoks — Essilor R800

Free eye test with every eyewear purchase — powered by the Essilor R800, delivering precision refraction that no traditional eye test can match. Free for kids under 19 and seniors 65+.

Essilor R800 — The World's Most Accurate Eye Test

Fantastic Glasses offers eye tests powered by the Essilor Vision-R 800, the world's most advanced digital phoropter. Unlike a traditional manual phoropter, the R800 automates the refraction process with precise 0.01 diopter steps — five times finer than a standard eye test — delivering faster, more consistent, and more comfortable results every time.

The result? A prescription that's more refined than traditional methods, giving you the sharpest, most comfortable vision possible. And at Fantastic Glasses in Okotoks, this world-class eye test is completely free with any eyewear purchase.

Why the Essilor R800 Changes Everything

Faster & Easier

No more "which is better — one or two?" guesswork. The R800 measures your eyes in seconds with minimal patient input, reducing visual fatigue and test anxiety.

Unmatched Precision

Digital refraction in precise 0.01 diopter increments — five times finer than a traditional phoropter — for a prescription that's as accurate as technology allows.

Better Results

More accurate prescriptions mean sharper vision, fewer adaptation issues with new glasses, and lenses that feel perfect from the first time you put them on.

What to Expect at Your Eye Test

Your appointment is straightforward and comfortable. Here's how it works:

  1. Essilor R800 Measurement — The instrument captures a complete map of your eye's optics in seconds. No puffs of air, no discomfort.
  2. Personalized Refraction — Our optician fine-tunes your prescription using the R800 data as a starting point, ensuring every detail is dialed in.
  3. Lifestyle Consultation — We discuss your daily activities (driving, screen time, sports) to recommend the best lens options for your life.
  4. Lens Recommendation — Based on your prescription and lifestyle, we recommend the right lenses — whether that's progressives, single vision, or specialty lenses.

The entire process takes about 20 minutes.
